    Orcas attack boat off Portugal coast for third time in a week as four rescued
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/orcas-boat-rammed-portugal-coast-b2828900.html
    Four people were rescued from a boat off the coast of Portugal after the vessel was rammed by orcas, in the third incident involving killer whales in a week. Portugal’s Coastal and Border Control Unit (UCCF) rescued four people from the boat on Monday after they were alerted to “repeated strikes on its bow caused by killer whales”, the National Guard (GNR) said.

    Hank Thompson Lived A Wild, Tragic, Forgotten Life In Baseball | Defector
    https://defector.com/hank-thompson-lived-a-wild-tragic-forgotten-life-in-baseball?giftLink=e72df4d7ab529c05fcd0cd76841e9c66
    Baseball tends to present the first men to crack the sport’s shameful racial barrier through a gauzy lens, their caps topped with a halo. There is the sanctified Jackie Robinson, and his Brooklyn teammates Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella; there’s Larry Doby, the first black player in the American League, and the many others who weren’t Hall of Famers. These were three-dimensional people who in many cases lived wild and eventful American lives, but the monstrous vastness of the bigotry they pierced has, in retrospect, flattened their specific individual foibles and idiosyncrasies, and their poor qualities, too. Among that elite group of barrier-breaking pioneers, one was such a complex mixture of talent and trouble that his life defies any kind of tidy categorization. As a result, he’s almost completely forgotten today, although he was the third African-American to play in the bigs. The halo doesn’t quite fit Hank Thompson. He was a talented and pioneering ballplayer, but where Jackie Robinson turned the other cheek, Thompson carried a gun.

    The United States Of Snitches | Defector
    https://defector.com/the-united-states-of-snitches?giftLink=6f86ae05b7276bb7917c719c092745a0
    On Saturday, the chairman of the Republican Party in Michigan's Oakland County spent his afternoon directing his online followers' attention to local businesses that had not lowered their flags to half staff to honor the memory of the slain conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump had issued that order, "for all American flags," earlier in the day, in a post on the Playskool version of Twitter where he does such things. "Maintaining a flag is a responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly," the GOP chairman, Vance Patrick, wrote. "Post anyone who isn’t taking it seriously in this thread." Patrick became the change he wanted to see by naming and shaming a garden center, tire store, and car wash; in his mentions are pictures, clearly taken through the windows of a car, of a McDonald's and an Aloft hotel in Park City, Utah, and of a second Michigan car wash, and of a Methodist church in Illinois. By Twitter's own accounting, just a few hundred people saw Patrick's posts, and only a few dozen saw the replies. That Patrick is, and pardon the political science jargon here, "just some squeaker" both is and isn't salient. Whether Patrick was able to make trouble for the offending garden center or tire store, whose phone numbers he provided with that goal in mind, the more meaningful part is that he understood it as his civic obligation to try. Or, maybe, he was just some squeaker scrabbling around for clout at the expense of a stranger. It is increasingly difficult to tell the difference. There aren't really central tenets to Trumpism, at least beyond the bigoted defaults of the stupid and spiteful stripe of the American Elite from which Trump himself emerged; that absence of ethos, at least beyond the belief that it is the absolute and natural right of that rancid elect to prey upon everyone and everything else, constructs a perverse permission structure of its own. Trump did not invent any of this so much as it invented him, and the fantasy of Trumpism, for those who have remade or simply discovered themselves in the service of it, is that Trump's followers might through their service claim for themselves the same privileges that Trump himself has so delighted in abusing. This is not how it works for followers, though, or with Trump; those who live to serve him have always very clearly been destined to be buried alive with him. It is, in every degrading sense, a sort of American Dream.

    The Space Review: I’m a former astronaut: NASA workers are afraid, and safety is at risk
    https://www.thespacereview.com/article/5060/1
    Every year, former astronauts like me are invited back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to get a flight physical. NASA is still collecting data from us to better understand the long-term effects of human spaceflight. I look forward to this trip every year as an opportunity to enjoy the comradery of my former NASA colleagues and our shared optimism about our future in space. But this year I found an environment of fear and uncertainty that struck me as a serious safety concern.

    House Arab
    https://bidoun.org/articles/house-arab
    I was working at the magazine as a fact-checker and my parents no longer considered me a failure, not because they read or admired it, but because when they said its name to friends and relatives it sparkled on their tongues. The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. The editor-in-chief once told us that the geographic distribution of our subscribers was nearly identical to Obama’s 2008 electoral map. Wherever I went in New York, I saw white people of nearly every description carrying the magazine’s tote bag around like a talisman, though what they thought they were warding against, exactly, I’m not sure. At work, it was surprising to be surrounded by demonstrably smart people who believed, for example, that Donald Trump’s election was somehow surprising, that meaningful wealth redistribution was beyond the political pale, or that individual human beings, and not systems, were history’s main actors. The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them. I insulated myself from this flavor of stupidity by rigorously avoiding news stories, though I knew that one day some Muslims who hated the West would kill some Westerners and I would have to bite my tongue and check some pieces that implied, but never outright stated, that Arabs were predisposed to bloodlust. I hated the West, too. I hated how Westerners were always asking to itemize the bill at dinner, how they never took enough responsibility for, say, inventing fascism and nuclear weapons, or for instigating the Bengal famine. They fought in stilted HR-speak, and shoved bland food into ruddy, clammy faces. My hatred never reached the level of murderousness, though it did put me in a tricky position. I couldn’t “go home” because I had no “home” to go back to; Egypt, where my family lived, was languishing under high inflation and military dictatorship, while the Emirates, where I’d grown up, was a land of indentured servitude. Besides, I wanted to become a novelist, and novelists lived in New York.

    Scientists Find Elusive Cloud-forming Chemical on a Brown Dwarf Called ‘The Accident’
    https://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/accident-silane
    New observations of a brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident, which is about 50 light-years from Earth, have found a cloud-forming molecule that hasn’t been seen on any other brown dwarf, exoplanet, or solar system object to date, helping scientists understand the hidden chemistry of Jupiter and Saturn and possibly other gas giant worlds. The discovery—detailed in the journal Nature and led by Associate Curator Jackie Faherty in the Museum’s Department of Astrophysics—shows evidence of a simple silicon molecule called silane. One of the most common elements in the universe, and thought to be key to the formation of clouds on gas giants, silane has gone largely undetected in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn and in planets like them around other stars.

    Huge photo of Trump and Epstein unveiled at Windsor Castle ahead of state visit
    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/huge-photo-of-trump-and-epstein-unveiled-at-windsor-castle-ahead-of-state-visit/
    A massive photo of U.S. President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was placed on the lawn outside Windsor Castle, where Trump is scheduled to stay Tuesday night as part of a state visit to the U.K. The British activist group Everyone Hates Elon claimed responsibility for the stunt in a post on Instagram. “Trump is coming to the UK to AVOID the EPSTEIN story,” the group posted alongside footage of the 400-square-metre banner being unveiled on Monday. “Unfortunately the British public just crowdfunded the WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTO of Donald with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.”
