Funny world where literal billionaires can be “too poor to have any legally recognized opinion”

If you're curious about how to create time-lapse photos/videos, I strongly recommend you see this video by @ewen.

For me, photography and filmmaking require skills on an artistic level and a technical level. Top marks to Ewen Bell there — but in addition to that, in this video, he adds an extra dimension with how effectively he communicates and educates with this complex subject-matter.
If you've been thinking about having a go with time-lapse imagery, I hope this video inspires you to pick up your camera and make something beautiful.

Qualcosa la fiutavo, ma santo cielo non pensavo osassero davvero seguire una strada simile, con una scelta tanto rischiosa e probabilmente divisiva.

The image shows a blue mug filled with a hearty stew or chili. The stew contains visible ingredients such as beans, corn, and possibly ground meat, all mixed in a thick, brown sauce. A silver spoon is partially submerged in the stew, indicating it is ready to be eaten. The mug is placed on a white plate, which is resting on a person's lap, suggesting a casual dining setting. The background includes a glimpse of a wooden surface, possibly a table or a shelf, and a portion of the person's dark-colored pants. The overall scene conveys a cozy and comforting meal.
