El exasesor de seguridad nacional John Bolton declaró en una entrevista reciente que el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, podría correr el riesgo de "exagerar" con el presidente Trump en medio de las conversaciones para poner fin a la invasión de Ucrania por parte del Kremlin.
Bolton, un crítico acérrimo de Trump, afirmó que Rusia sigue "sufriendo" económicamente por las sanciones impuestas por Europa Occidental y Estados Unidos durante la guerra de tres años en Europa del Este, pero argumentó que Putin aún se encuentra en una posición política "muy fuerte".
"Pero a medida que esta guerra se prolonga, creo que su posición se debilita. La verdadera pregunta es si, entre los esfuerzos de Estados Unidos y los de Europa para lograr un alto el fuego entre Ucrania y Rusia, este se logrará", declaró Bolton durante su aparición en el programa de radio de John Catsimatidis, "Cats Roundtable", en WABC 770 AM.
“Putin ya ha obtenido muchas concesiones para lo que desea. Quiere conservar el territorio que Rusia ha confiscado en Ucrania… pero creo que, a estas alturas, podría correr el riesgo de exagerar con Trump”, dijo Bolton.

The image depicts a woman standing in a futuristic control room. She has short, wavy brown hair and is wearing an orange, high-necked, long-sleeved jumpsuit with white accents. The jumpsuit has a zipper at the neck and a square patch on the chest. The woman is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression.
In the background, there is a large monitor displaying a yellowish image, possibly a schematic or map, with a control panel featuring various buttons and switches below it. The room has a high ceiling with visible structural elements, and there is a window or transparent wall showing a view of the outside, which appears to be a bright, open space. The overall color scheme of the image is a mix of warm and cool tones, with the orange of the woman's jumpsuit standing out against the more muted background.

anyways, i found nearly 400 of them from an archived banner ad making website, funnily enough it seems that they stored them by putting each person's full email address in the URL, which is very much not secure at all lmao

9 Beautiful Moments When Nature and Art Became One
From ivy-blanketed murals to sculptures woven from willow branches, these 9 artworks blur the line between nature and art. You’ll find a dreaming child merging into a hedgerow in Ecuador, a giant girl watering a real tree in Poland, and a sleeping forest maiden who changes with the seasons in Cornwall. Artists around the world are letting nature do more than surround their work—it’s becoming part of it.
More: 8 Beautiful Artworks That Seem to Grow From Nature
1. When Street Art Meets Nature — Imbabura, Ecuador
A child sleeps peacefully against a concrete wall, painted with lifelike softness by El Decertor. Ivy draped across the mural seamlessly forms a textured blanket, and a teddy bear peeks from underneath the greenery.🔗 Follow El Decertor on Facebook
2. Legend About Giants — Białystok, Poland
Painted by Natalia Rak, this towering mural features a young girl in traditional Polish dress gently watering a tree growing from the ground below. The tree aligns perfectly with her tilted watering can, turning the entire scene into a gentle urban myth.More by Natalia Rak!: The Muralist Turning Walls Into Masterpieces
3. Caring Hand — Glarus, Switzerland
Carved by Eva Oertli & Beat Huber, five stone fingers emerge from the earth to cradle a growing tree, as if nature itself is being held by a giant underground guardian.More photos here!: The Caring Hand – Sculpture in Glarus, Switzerland by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
4. Wendy! I’m Home
A large expressive face inside the hollow of a tree. The grain and curvature of the wood become part of the face, making it appear as though the tree is speaking or laughing.
5. Come into Light — Tulum, Mexico
Created by Daniel Popper, this monumental wooden sculpture of a human figure gently opens its chest to reveal a tunnel of living greenery. The work invites visitors to step inside and walk through the heart of nature.🔗 Follow Daniel Popper on Instagram
6. Mud Maid — Cornwall, UK
This living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill lies in the woods of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Covered in moss and ivy, it changes with the seasons, transforming from green and alive in summer to white and frozen in winter.More about Mud Maid here!: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill
7. Bougainvillea Crown — Corfu, Greece
On a wall in Paleokastritsa, an elegant face is painted alongside a flourishing bougainvillea. The artist positions the real branches as flowing floral hair, giving life and movement to the portrait.
8. Forest Archer — UK
Crafted by Anna & the Willow, this sculpture made entirely of woven willow shows a woman mid-draw with a bow and arrow. Set deep in a forest path, her flowing skirt and hair mimic the wind.🔗 Follow Anna & the Willow on Instagram
9. Vertical Garden — Patrick Blanc in Madrid, Spain
French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc created this monumental vertical garden on the side of a building near the CaixaForum in Madrid. Covering the entire façade, it features hundreds of plant species arranged in layers of color and texture, turning the urban wall into a living ecosystem.

Sometimes all you need to do is go out in the wild wearing a new fave shirt.
Ieri ho scoperto che "Google toglie le facce".
Cioè se hai una foto con persone, fai click su Google Photo e questo toglie le persone.
Nessun altro si sente un attimo inquietato da sta cosa?
Cioè, io ho in mente il lavoro certosino che serve tipo su GIMP per togliere un singolo dettaglio e poi completarlo in modo che non si noti.
Ma Google toglie le persone. Cazzo.
Vuol dire che capisce che sono persone, le rileva nel dettaglio le prende e le cancella e le sostituisce con uno spazio vuoto perfettamente ricostruito.
Tra l'altro come lo ricostruisce lo spazio vuoto? Da cosa? Da foto prese da internet? Con le probabilità?
Sono anni che non uso app Google e forse questo mi lascia un attimo con una prospettiva strana, non lo so, ma seriamente sta cosa mi fa impressione.

As long as the CLOUD act is there this will never work, no matter how much Microsoft begs and lies.
I hope the EU will not fall for them, i don't want more dependency on Microsoft/USA for our governments than necessary.
I really hope that someone will say "NO" to them at one point.

None, but they still had enough merit to not be thrown out entirely, and there were several cases. Do you know many musical artists who faced three plagiarism suits in four years? As far as I know, that isn't normal.
