🪶 #BirdOfTheDay is a tough one - "kestrel" - but I do have a couple of heavily cropped shots of one with a small rodent. #birds #photography #arkansas

A kestrel is on a power line, holding what appears to be a mouse in its talons.

Black and white photograph through a large gallery window in passing depicting a room with paintings of women on the walls, and a wood floor. Portion of a sculpture in window.

I've just sat for ages in the garden, camera on its tripod, patiently waiting for a break in the clouds to catch the first supermoon of the year. It didn't disappoint!

In moments like this, nature reminds us how small we truly are — and how fragile the illusion of control has always been.

A powerful, wide waterfall cascades with immense force over a rocky cliff - the Dettifoss in northern Iceland. In the foreground, a group of small human figures stands on a grassy ledge, dwarfed by the roaring wall of water in front of them. The black-and-white composition emphasizes the contrast between the textured flow of the falls and the stillness of the onlookers, highlighting both the raw power of nature and the humility of human presence.

"The incremental U.S. fossil-fuel profits in 2022 relative to 2021 were enough to increase the disposable income of the wealthiest Americans by several percent and compensate a substantial part of their purchasing power loss from inflation that year, thereby exacerbating inflation inequality. "

Gregor Semieniuk @gregorsemieniuk.bsky.social · 10h

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

River or sankey diagram showing the allocation of profits from global oil and gas companies to quantiles of the US wealth size distribution via financial system intermediaries, such as asset managers, and categories of ultimate beneficiaries, such as business owners, pension funds and shareholders in listed companies. The scale is hundreds of billions of US dollars, and ultimately 50.4% of profits reaching the US personal wealth distribution go to the richest 1% of households.

Looking through a high up window down on the street below. It's a black and white.
There is a tall building to the right in shadow and the street below is in the light. To the left of the building and the light is shadow. There's no one around.

Good morning everyone!

Wherever your wings carry you today, I hope you’ll be happy.

The freedom to spread our wings is precious, but is denied to many. It’s worth fighting for.

Have a beautiful day.
