There should be no billionaires. But if you're going to be a billionaire, giving out two million dollars in cash money--$1000 each to the graduates of Bridgewater State in MA--is a small thing you can do.

YES, 🇪🇺 EU, PLEASE 🙏🏼 STOP 🛑 THE GENOCIDE.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calls Israel a ‘genocidal state’ in Parliament today.
He also stated that the Spanish government will NOT trade with Israel.
This is the way.
A high school freshman track athlete took second place behind a trans athlete, and a Republican leader used the situation to push hateful propaganda. The girl responds:
"I don't feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points... No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby."

"A queda da economia portuguesa de 0,5% no primeiro trimestre foi o segundo pior desempenho em cadeia na zona euro, revelou o Eurostat. Entre todos os países que divulgaram números até ao momento, só três registaram uma contração nos primeiros três meses de 2025: Eslovénia (-0,8%), Portugal (-0,5%) e Hungria (-0,2%). Na ponta oposta da tabela sobressaem Irlanda (3,2%), Chipre (1,3%) e Polónia (0,7%). A Alemanha deixou para trás as quedas e conseguiu subir 0,2%, depois da contração de -0,2% no último trimestre de 2024. O PIB da zona euro avançou 0,3%, tal como no conjunto da União Europeia. Na variação homóloga, onde Portugal esteve positivo (1,6%), o PIB dos países da moeda única manteve o ritmo com que terminou o ano passado (1,2%). Irlanda (10,9%), Polónia (3,8%) e Lituânia (3,2%) registaram os melhores desempenhos. Eslovénia (-0,8%) e Áustria (-0,7%) foram os piores."

Wij trekken een rode lijn!
Op zondag 1 juni vormen we een levende rode lijn door Leeuwarden, om een vuist te maken tegen de gruwelijkheden in Gaza.
Er vindt een genocide plaats, en onze regering staat het toe.
Wij eisen een fundamentele koerswijziging van de politiek om oorlogsmisdaden, etnische zuiveringen en genocide niet langer toe te staan.
En daar hebben we jou bij nodig!
Kom op 1 juni, de Dag van het Kind, om 11.45 naar de fontein op het Stationsplein in Leeuwarden. Kom in het rood gekleed!
We vormen hand in hand een zo lang mogelijke lijn, startend bij de fontein.
Om 11.59 maken we een minuut lang een oorverdovend kabaal om te laten weten: wij pikken het niet meer! Stop de genocide!
We blijven na de lawaaiminuut hand in hand staan tot 12:05.
Sluit je aan bij de rode lijn, en laat zien dat ook jij het niet meer accepteert!
In het kort:
Wat: een levende rode lijn
Wanneer: zondag 1 juni om 11:45
Waar: start fontein LOVE Stationsplein, Leeuwarden.
Waarom: wij willen een einde aan de genocide!
Wat heb je nodig: een rood kledingstuk of deken, iets om lawaai mee te maken.
Voor wie: iedereen die de boodschap steunt.

This is not the sharpest photo I’ve ever taken. But I’m amazed that it exists. Three years ago, I bought a 5x7 Press Graflex SLR. It’s a beast. It takes a less common type of film holder, and it’s taken me all this time to actually find some. So this morning, I finally got to shoot with this monster. It’s not in great shape. The tensioner is wonky and doesn’t display the correct number. The spring back isn’t as firmly attached as it should be. The aperture on the lens is messed up and only adjusts a little, probably between f/5.6 and 8, near as I can tell. But I got a photo out of it anyway (I got another one, but it’s more out of focus and has a light leak, so I’m not sharing that one). When I get some money, I am definitely going to have this camera serviced. It used to belong to a photographer who worked as a research chemist at Kodak, Grant Haist. I look forward to making it work again and putting it to good use.
