JUST IN: Trump bought up to $5 million of Axon stock.

Two weeks later, ICE moved toward a $220 million Taser deal.

Axon makes Tasers. Axon also controls 90% of the US Taser market.

And the White House says there are “no conflicts of interest.”

Politicians should not be trading individual stocks while the Government is handing out contracts.

Public office should be public service.

It's pretty crazy that insider trading is illegal for everyone except the people who make the laws.

This is another favourite paper: all but one of the 30 authors is 9 or 10 years old, the other is their primary school teacher. But it's a legitimate paper, refereed and accepted by a journal, about what bees remember. The crayon diagrams are awesome.

(Or just search "Blackawton bees" if the link is being glitchy)

RT: @uk_islamophobia Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.

You probably didn’t hear about it.

Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.

Both from Bradford.

They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.

Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:

"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."

Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:

"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."

Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.

Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.

They deserved every word.

But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.

We have seen this before.

Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.

Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.

LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.

He ran towards the blade.

A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.

This is the pattern.

When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.

When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.

Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.

Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.

One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."

He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.

They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.

They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.

The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.

"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32

Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.

Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.

And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.

When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.

When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.

Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.

Muslim men.

Say both.

We must criticize any *government* that commits war crimes, even or indeed especially if they are an ally using our munitions. This should never be construed as an attack upon a nation’s people.

‘The tech journalist Kara Swisher, who is a regular presence on CNN in addition to her podcasting ventures, said she would not continue to work for the TV network if Mr. Ellison installed someone to replace Mr. Thompson as its top leader.

In an interview, Ms. Swisher pointed to the unfolding situation at CBS News as a rationale. “So far, there’s nothing I’ve seen that indicates that they’re serious about creating a modern digital news organization,” she said.’

To expand on that…

I have a crash in my shopping list, which I can't reproduce in the IDE. It only happens very rarely on an actual phone. By staring at the code I have a good working idea of what's causing it, but since it happens rarely I don't have any means to make sure the fix is correct.

I wish I knew how to get a crash stack trace from my phone… Any advice from seasoned #Android devs is welcome!

Do y'all talk to yourselves? If I need to give myself a pep talk, or if I'm upset about something but I also have a reasonable retort, I will straight up hold a monologue to myself. Lol

I think it's helpful to get out of my mind and verbalize stuff sometimes. I'm my own little cheerleader and rational friend.

I sewed for the first time in a couple years today! My niece had a baby, and that pushed me to finding all the sewing stuff that was packed away, dusting off the machine, and remembering how to put pieces together. It was so much fun! One sewing question: i'm still using hand-me-down thread from my grandmother, who probably bought it in the 1990's. My mother (now also gone) told me years ago to throw it out and buy new. Normally I just keep using the old thread and it's fine, but tonight that pink thread just kept breaking over and over, especially on parts like the neck where you have to pull to stretch the fabric. Was my mother right and I should pitch the old thread? Or do I really need to switch needles when switching to stretch fabric, or the tension is just wrong? #sewing @amyfou

Since the sun is going to be pounding us all week, we might as well get a good look at it! Here’s an image I captured from Brooklyn this morning with my Dwarf 3. The massive sunspot region on the sun’s upper half is AR 4478, about 10 times as wide as Earth, with a smaller sunspot group AR 4479 below.

It was super annoying that crafting often requires you to change between multiple different crafting jobs and you couldn't actually do that without cancelling out of the whole thing. #ffxiv
