"I was watching a movie the other week and this guy really looked like Lin-Manuel Miranda (creator of the musical Hamilton), so I Googled whether he had any brothers. The AI overview informed me that "Yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda has two younger brothers named Sebastián and Francisco." For a few minutes I thought I was a genius at recognising people… until a little bit of further research showed that Sebastián and Francisco are actually Miranda’s two children."

Warblers Redefined
A definition of extreme joy and profound loss among songbirdsBryan Pfeiffer (Chasing Nature)
"Under the IHRA definition, it could be antisemitic for Daniel Blatman, head of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to say – as he did recently: “I’ve studied the Holocaust for 40 years. I’ve read countless testimonies about the most horrific genocide of all, against the Jewish people and other victims.

However, the reality in which I would read accounts about mass murder committed by the Jewish state (in Gaza) that, in chilling resemblance, remind me of testimonies from [the Holocaust] – this I could not have foreseen even in my worst nightmares.”

Call me a self-hating Jew, but what Israel is doing in Gaza is indefensible
Does criticism of Israel amount to antisemitism? No, it does not. And the cruelty we see in Gaza is chillingly reminiscent of Europe 80 years ago when Jewish people faced extinction.David Leser (The Sydney Morning Herald)

It seems, based on photo reminders, that Cassie The Intolerant aka Bitch Cat is 10 years old.
The image shows two cats in a sunlit area, likely near a door. The cat on the left is sitting upright, with a white and gray coat, a pink collar with a red tag, and is looking directly at the camera. The cat on the right is lying on its back, stretching out, with a solid black coat, and is gazing upwards. The floor is a brownish-orange color, and there is a bright light source coming from the right, casting a shadow of the cat on the left. In the background, there is a white door with a pet door and a black umbrella leaning against the wall. The scene is well-lit, with sunlight creating a warm ambiance.

The image features a central, glowing green butterfly logo against a dark blue background. Surrounding the butterfly are various icons, including a cloud folder, a document with a paperclip, a mouse, a tablet, and a file with the ".MD" extension. The icons are in a lighter blue shade, creating a contrast with the dark background. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the butterfly centrally positioned and the icons arranged around it. The image conveys a tech-oriented theme, possibly related to file management or document creation.

Das Bild zeigt eine transparente Glaskanne mit einem doppelte-lagerten Getränk, das auf einem weißen Saucierpapier auf einem Holztisch steht. Die untere Schicht des Getränks ist dunkelbraun, wahrscheinlich Kaffee, und die obere Schicht ist cremig weiß, was auf Milch oder Schaum hinweist. Die Kanne ist mit einer dünnen Schaumkrone bedeckt. Neben der Kanne liegt eine silberne Löffel auf dem Saucierpapier. Die Glaskanne und das Saucierpapier sind zentriert im Bild, und der Holztisch bildet den Hintergrund.
