War update: 73 clashes on frontline since day-start, battles ongoing in seven sectors

"The decision to invite Zelensky to the NATO summit won’t be made by the U.S.," says Dutch FM Caspar Veldkamp.
“I’d be very glad to welcome President Zelensky and the Ukrainian delegation to The Hague, but the invitation is up to the NATO Secretary General.”
An update on my quest for a #foldingbike. I ended up getting a Brompton, with high handlebars, which made the setup much more comfortable. I got the C-line 12 speed. It’s a game changer!
It folds up compactly for the train, and the extra gears help with everything. Today I needed milk for my coffee, but realized I had forgotten my lock at home, so I simply folded up the bike, put it in the cart, and did my shopping.
Pretty darn cool!

The image shows a gloved hand holding a plant with a large, bulbous root system. The glove is black with tan leather accents, and the hand is gripping the plant stem. The plant has green leaves and a thick, brown root that resembles a skull, with visible roots extending from it. The background is a grassy area with a building visible in the distance. The focus is on the plant and the hand, with the background blurred.

The tomb that was believed to hold the remains of Alexander The Great's father actually contained the remains of a young woman and six children. According to a study the belief that the tombe contained Philip II, his wife and newborn baby is actually not possible. Using radio carbon dating the man was aged between 25 and 35, but Philip II was actually 46 when he was assassinated.

Help Kathi, a trans woman living in Oklahoma to flee the state as it's becoming unsafe for her to stay there. She's reaching out for our assistance as her income barely covers her rent, food and other necessities, which has resulted in her living paycheck to paycheck and having little to no savings. She's battled both homelessness and cancer in her life, and has struggled to find a stable job due to her (recently diagnosed) autism.

The image features a Rottweiler standing on a wooden floor in a home setting. The dog has a black and tan coat, with a distinctive tan muzzle, chest, and paws. Its ears are floppy, and it has a bushy tail that is raised. The dog is wearing a collar with a tag. The background includes a hallway with white walls and baseboards, a white chair, and a metal bucket filled with colorful dog toys. The lighting is warm, suggesting it might be natural light coming from a nearby window.

The image depicts a serene rural scene under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a low stone wall runs parallel to a road, with a section of the wall featuring an archway. The wall's texture is rough, with a mix of light and dark stones, and it appears weathered, suggesting age. A blue car is partially visible on the left side of the image, indicating the presence of a road.
Beyond the wall, a lush green vineyard is visible, with rows of grapevines stretching across the landscape. The vineyard is bordered by a variety of trees, including tall cypress trees, adding to the rural charm. In the background, a house with a light-colored facade and a terracotta roof is partially obscured by the trees, blending into the natural surroundings.
Power lines run across the top of the image, adding a touch of modernity to the otherwise idyllic setting. The overall composition of the image conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature.

The image features a vinyl record album cover titled "Zoot Sims with Bucky Pizzarelli." The cover shows a man in a suit playing a saxophone, set against a backdrop of green foliage. The text is prominently displayed in white with a shadow effect, making it stand out against the darker background. The record label "CJ" is visible at the bottom right corner of the cover. To the left of the album cover, there is a turntable with a black platter and a wooden base, bearing the logo "LINN SONDERR." The turntable is placed on a white surface, possibly a table or shelf. Below the album cover, there is a red container with various items inside, including what appears to be a woven basket and some small objects. The overall setting suggests a music enthusiast's space, with the album cover and turntable as focal points.

Postboxes Version 1.1
The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!
* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present
The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.
The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.
The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.
The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.
Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

You can see a live demo of the animated ones here: randompenguin1.github.io/sampl…
They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.

Emilio Vedova. Questa è pittura | Fondazione Vedova
La potenza del gesto e del segno della pittura di Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) sono al centro della mostra Questa è pittura allestita al Forte di Bard, dal 30 novembre 2024 al 2 giugno 2025. Il progetto, curato da Gabriella Belli, vuole presentare l’opera di Vedova nella sua valenza pittorica, sfuggendo da ogni tentazione di lettura dettagliatamente storica o socio-politica, per indirizzare lo sguardo verso l’eccellenza della sua pittura, che sempre stupisce per la folgorazione del colore e la vitalità della sua materia, espressione tra le più alte dell’informale europeo.
