Although you can never escape the event horizon of a black hole, the environment around a black hole can generate ultra-fast winds that carry gas and dust at a significant fraction of the speed of light. It was always assumed these winds would be smooth and continuous, but new research shows that some winds can resemble rapid-fire streams of gas bullets. Astronomers saw winds going 20-30% the speed of light, made up of 5 distinct gas components, ejected like a geyser.

Not sure how I stumbled onto this British sitcom, but worth sharing for a look at the 1980s computer/word processor technology. Crazy.

'it’s about people who believe in peace versus people who believe in war.'

#art #history: in a sad coincidence, brian eno celebrates his 77th year as we honour the victims of the 1948 nakba. i'm sure it's a bittersweet time for him, as he's for many years been using his considerable platform to speak up, stand up & show up for palestinians.
his integrity makes his musical genius all the sweeter.
your oblique strategy? be more eno.

"The Qatar PM was asked about Trump’s Palace in the Sky jet: “Unfortunately, I see this story is taking a different direction and it’s being politicized while it’s a normal government to government deal. It's basically part of a cooperation that we have been doing together between Qatar and the US.”

… Maybe it’s normal for Qatar. It’s not normal for the US."

The newly appointed head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn’t yet have a fully formed disaster-response plan.

#David #Richardson, who previously served as a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security

told staff he would share a hurricane plan with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after he completes it late next week.
He said Thursday he’s 80% to 85% done with the plan.

The Nakba didn’t end in 1948—it has been ongoing. From the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians to the genocide of Gaza, from bulldozed villages to bombed hospitals, from refugee tents in Ramla to refugee tents in Rafah. What we’re witnessing today is the same campaign of erasure, carried out by Israel since the beginning.
