"Israeli forces killed at least 27 Palestinians as they waited for food at a distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in Gaza on Tuesday, according to health officials in the territory.

It is the third time people have been shot waiting for food in three days, with Israel admitting for the first time during the recent events that its soldiers shot at people who were approaching them."

ICE Arrests Farm Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case

Incoming!

A soviet spacecraft that was launched in 1972 is forecast for an uncontrolled re-entry likely on May 9th or 10th, 2025.

The Kosmos 482 descent craft is the lander module from a failed Soviet Venera mission to the planet Venus.

Its landing module, weighs in at 495 kg and is highly likely to reach the surface of Earth in one piece as it was designed to withstand 300 G’s of acceleration and 100 atmospheres of pressure.

This is an image of a museum replica of the Venera 8 descent craft that is in a decaying orbit around the Earth. The decent craft is basically a one meter diameter sphere that was designed to land on the planet Venus back in the early 1970's. The craft is painted white and has large red letters painted around its circumference denoting its country of origin 'CCCP' (Soviet Union). One face of the sphere contains a small silver dome that was used to connect the lander to its launch vehicle. Spread out on either side of the small silver dome are a pair of dark colored radio antennas that the craft would use to communicate with the team of engineers on Earth, I believe that these also acted as radiators to cool the craft in the high temperatures that it would encounter on the surface of Venus. The craft contained a suite of instruments to measure the atmosphere of Venus during its decent to the surface.

This smells wrong...
Most societies with cities & agriculture (all the most successful ones) included some form of accepted slavery and none prior to the past ~150 years had the communications & other technology to allow the sort of concentrations of wealth we now see. Also, the practical difference between subsistence living as a slave or peasant and the 'opulence' of ruling classes did not include decent artificial lighting, refrigeration, or healthcare. https://mstdn.social/@archaeology/114404580640934975

"Do not attempt to remain in the United States - The federal government will find you," the e-mail warned.

Martinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit and believes his advocacy work may have placed him on the government's radar.

To commemorate reaching 50 episodes of the nearly award-winning series "Scum On Top" (and to celebrate my website host's clearing up the SSL certificate problem), I've given the website a fresh paint job and launched "Scum (Back) On Top" as a separate series all its own. Come see the violence inherent in the system!
