As a grad student, Liyang Chen spent a year working out how to carve a nanowire that’s thinner than a single bacterium. Using the wire, Chen helped show that the metal it’s made from — and others like it — may carry electrical charge without electrons. https://t.co/qgEF2gtvF4

“Guys we were unaffected by the Great Depression”

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

A horrific story from Gaza.

Hamas militias are threatening Palestinian activist Nawal Ferwana over her Facebook posts criticizing them. Their message: "Come to us, or we will drag you by your hair in front of everyone."

Nawal has been living in a tent for two years. Her only "crime" was speaking her mind and posting on Facebook.

This is Hamas: a terrorist militia that hunts down a displaced woman living in a tent for daring to express her views and say what many others are too afraid to say.

Stand with the people of Gaza, not with the militias that oppress, intimidate, and silence them.

Can we stop pretending USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney isn’t batshit insane?

I would say Janet Yellen's early concern that overly aggressive stimulus could spark inflation has aged a great deal better than the idea that we should de-emphasize low consumer prices as a goal of antitrust policy.

Guy who thinks all cops are bad, until they enforcers of a religious theocracy oppressing women.

@ptkrje Everyone who approaches this without an agenda arrives at the same conclusion: it's designed to not be solved. There are multiple institutions in place whose purpose is to disincentive peace, and there's no political will to dissolve these institutions.

Is there anything Western Leftists do other than defend genocidal Global South Dictatorships?

Hamas militias have begun threatening Palestinians who plan to protest on June 26.

To the pro-Palestine voices in the West who march freely in the streets: now is the time to stand with Palestinians in Gaza who are demanding that same right.

Down with Hamas.

This picture was taken in 2019. These are ISIS fighters who surrendered to the SDF in Syria. This is a holding cell in the Syrian/Iraq border town Baghouz, where the ISIS fighters were handed over to Iraqi authorities for prosecution of crimes they committed in Iraq.

There are people out here who think American cops are fascist if they shoot a guy on a stabbing spree but also that any Iranian chick complaining about morality police is manufacturing consent for war

Ireland now provides Russia with 99% of all alumina from the EU. The utter shame of it. Where is the outrage?

@Rawdawggbandit @magi_jay @agraybee To you guys 'support' just means not being a war mongering militant against Israel and being even vaguely critical of the avowedly fascist dictatorship that rules Gaza.

[Principal vibe code engineer @Britonomist]

@eemaanishere You act like there aren't hundreds of equivalently reprehensible avowedly Islamic organisations, dictatorships and militias that basically get zero 'open denouncement' from Muslims.

[Principal vibe code engineer @Britonomist]

@Rawdawggbandit @magi_jay @agraybee Ah yes, clearly that's equivalent to being 'an insane Zionist'.

[Jeffrey Sachs @JeffreyASachs]

I disagree. The false claim about the discovery of mass graves and/or children's remains at Kamloops was pervasive and has persisted right up until the last year or so. It's misinformation, and denying it is neither racist nor a form of denialism. The G&M is acting appropriately.

Khan: "Put all Israelis in concentration camps and summarily murder their leadership"
Rando: "Why don't we just kill all of them instead, not just the leaders?"
Khan: "Jesus! That's so extremist what are you talking about!?!?"
These psychopaths have zero self awareness.
