Moonbridge✨️

Die Mondbrücke ist so platziert, dass sie sich im stillen Wasser spiegelt. Der hohe Bogen und seine Spiegelung bilden einen Kreis, der den Mond symbolisiert.

Is Greta Thunberg the lone voice for justice in our world?

As the world moves from one crisis to another and our politicians ignore the immense injustices that are happening in their nation and in the world, what do ordinary non-violent citizens do to let the...

"Deforestation is a global catastrophe in slow motion. Despite the good intentions of many, it is still accelerating, as humans continue to gnaw, like termites, at the very foundations of the Earth’s life support system – and their own future."

“Israel is not even trying to hide the fact that it is committing genocide.

“They are proud of it. They are boasting about it. They relish it. They mock every child, woman, and man killed.”

Size is how you distinguish between the male and female Peregrine Falcon. The female is significantly larger than the male—not only taller but also broader than her partner, with a larger head and thicker neck.

Easy to identify who's who in this clip from #367Collins yesterday.

Moonset over the San Jacinto Mountains today. #PalmSprings #Nature #PhotographyArt

Almost full moon descends over the jagged top of the mountain range. A single palm tree forms the right border of the shot. The blue of the sky is amplified in processing to bring out the detail of the moon's surface. Now, it looks like there are actual lakes on the moon. We all need a little fantasy at this point.

George Orwell’s 1984 warned of a future where Big Brother watches every move. Tech is making that vision a reality, & Oracle founder Larry #Ellison—the world’s second-richest person—sees a growing opp for his co to help authorities analyze real-time data from millions of surveillance cameras.

Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’

Israel killed about 1,000 Israelis and about 2,000 Palestinians. ZAKA volunteers muddled body parts when they collected them to help hide what Israel did. (Ynet, Jan 2024) Israel blamed it all on Hamas to justify launching #GazaGenocide #7Oct #HannibalDirective
