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’

Oracle's Larry Ellison believes citizens and police alike will be under constant surveillance of each other.

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

Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us.

His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

🐸 Frogs and false signals

A new study finds that grey treefrogs use daylight length to trigger 'antifreeze' buildup for winter. But as climate change warms winters, this cue may mislead them into preparing too early or too late.

Climate change is disrupting the reliability of photoperiod as a cue signalling seasonal changes in temperature. We show that gray treefrogs under a late-season photoperiod accumulated large reserves...

Bay Leaf Magic: Burn And Banish

Burning a bay leaf can cleanse the energy of a space, banish negativity, communicate your wishes to the gods, and is even said to break curses. It also makes a lovely crackling sound.

The three achieved more diplomatically than the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Perhaps he should reimburse NZ for funds wasted on his UN trip last month, so those resources cover their return flights. After all, they had their own transport until unlawfully detained by another government.

Peters insists Kiwis detained in Israel 'can find their own way home', taxpayers won't foot flights

The family of the trio detained were in tears asking for the Govt to bring them home.
