Don't know who needs to see this, but here's what Charlestown looked like from Boston during last weekend’s snowstorm.
#Boston #WestEnd #Charlestown #SnowStorm #NewEngland #Weather
Three-panel view of Boston’s West End taken from a high vantage point over three consecutive days. Left panel (01/24 Afternoon): Clear skies reveal the full cityscape - Zakim Bridge, high-rise buildings, and Charles River all sharply defined under crisp sunlight. Middle panel (01/25 Afternoon): Heavy snowfall blankets the scene - visibility drops dramatically, with only faint outlines of the bridge and rooftops visible through the dense snow. Right panel (01/26 Morning): Post-storm calm - snow-covered rooftops and streets sit beneath a gray, overcast sky. The bridge and skyline re-emerge, softened by lingering haze and winter light.

@oneworld-onelife.bsky.social mate, I thought you might be drinking this right now, given your recent success in Europe? ⚽

#USPol #Greenland #EU #Geopolitics
Tweet from journalist Nick Schifrin sharing what he says is a message from US President Donald J. Trump to Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre. The tweet includes the full text of the letter, which reads: ““Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

We can all do with a #TimelineCleanse...
A peaceful urban landscape featuring tall apartment buildings and office towers. The sun is peeking through heavy, blue-grey clouds, illuminating the horizon with a soft, golden light. It captures a quiet, reflective moment above the city.

Happy #GodzillaDay! 🦖
Growing up, Japan's original Godzilla was pure, chaotic magic. That atomic roar was practically the defining noise of our generation's childhood. Still the best!
