I'm sure there is a domain that you master. Because you've spent many years learning it, reading about it, thinking about it...

Maybe you don't know, but you are certainly an expert on this subject.

Why won't you share your knowledge with us? Don't you want to write some posts about that? You could open a simple blog, or a wiki? and share it here, on the Fediverse.

I'm sure that many Fedinauts would be happy to read your publications.

I wonder if the federal patrols descending on DC will be including white-collar crime in their crackdown. You know, like pulling over fancy cars and auditing their taxes.

That could have a real impact.

(This post is for non-Americans.) Folks, it's time to stop agonising over everything the Americans do, and focus instead on building a world that works without them. Let's accept that we can no longer rely on them for anything: trade, global security, aid, medical research, a model of democracy, tech innovation … anything.

Even if the U.S. somehow achieves peaceful democratic transfers of power in 2026 and 2028 — and there are many good Americans fighting hard for that — there''ll be years or decades of cleaning up and rebuilding shattered democratic institutions from the ground up. Write them out of the global script for now and move on.

@benroyce So when United Health's CEO was assassinated, the lesson they learned was not "let's be less shitty and actually help people," but "Let's continue to be shitty but hide our identities."

It's time to burn the whole fucking thing down to the ground and start over.

Anyone raising money to sue for a "recount" of the 2024 presidential election is trying to scam you. This is simply not a thing. The election is long over, and the time during which recounts can happen in every US jurisdiction is long past.

By now many, though not all, of the structures from the island's military era have been demolished (including the bowling alley in the photo). Environmental remediation is proceeding slowly.

A small community of mostly low-income families live in the island's housing, and some of the larger buildings are used as sound stages for film production and related industries. Fancier redevelopment is starting to accelerate.

San Francisco's Treasure Island is a weird place. An artificial island built adjacent to Yerba Buena Island in the middle of the Bay Bridge, it initially hosted the 1939 World's fair, with plans to then use it for the city's main airport. At the start of WW II, the US government appropriated it for use as a Naval station. After the Cold War, the government returned the island to the city. It was extensively contaminated by radioactive waste from decontamination training conducted on the island.

This was captured with a BetterLight scanning digital back and Nikkor 90mm lens on a Sinar P 4x5 camera.

This now-demolished bowling alley was part of the Treasure Island Naval Station, closed about 15 years earlier and then just starting to be redeveloped (a process that's been slowed by serious environmental contamination).

The composition emphasizes the simple lines of the structure and the isolated, rather desolate setting.

“Netanyahu’s office issued a statement denying that the employee in question had even been arrested.

The battle in Gaza City will be a total crushing of the neighborhoods with artillery and airstrikes, accompanied by a rapid evacuation of residents. After that, tanks will storm the neighborhoods, and bulldozers will begin to completely destroy them. As the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood was evacuated within three days, the entire city of Gaza could be evacuated within a week.
