I’ve chosen something a little different for my #BirdOfTheDay #Groups submission. This sequence was taken with my phone from the bridge leading down into Old Leigh where we were meeting friends for a very late lunch.

Personal opinion? Nuclear fusion startups are ripe for hype/grift. We have no serious example of fusion delivering far above the break even energy production limit. We should continue research on it, but Trump Media jumping into fusion commercialization confirms the griftyness to me.

"He's only mostly dead...With all dead there's only one thing you can do - go through his pockets and look for loose change."
"Anybody want a peanut?"
"I know something you don't...I am not left handed!"

Perfect response to someone asking how they can help
Reach out to your Jewish friends and check on them. Be willing to listen. Learn about us and our history and story, a tiny 0.2% of the world, w/o making us characters in someone else’s story. Correct people who express antisemitic ideas.
And for the next 8 days, see and enjoy our lit menorahs.
