Even though it's actually still fairly early in the summer, this picture taken today captures a hoverfly in a beautifully autumnal palette 🍂🍁
It's sitting among some dead plants in our garden left over from last year, & gives us a glimpse towards the cooler months to come.
It's possibly a long hoverfly (Sphaerophoria scripta).

"How would you like to make a handle for our baby-murderer?"
"I'm sorry, your what...?"
"Yeah, we made this device, it murders babies - anyway, we need a handle for it, do you want the job?"
Understand that right now, thousands of people; engineers, designers etc., are finding justifications to say yes to jobs like that. Contortions of reason to convince themselves they're still ethical people.
They are not.
Be ethical. Say no.
This "answer" is wrong, but we can learn something from it. It shows the dilemma of easy #information and #socialmedia's unqualified #opinions. I'd argue the problem is uncritically accepting the conclusion without its #logic. In this case, a close reading shows gross inconsistencies like denying that mc^2 =E = hf while stating that very fact: "photons only have one kind of energy, and that depends only on their frequency."
Even wrong answers can teach us something, if we read between the lines

"Germany on Monday called for the United Nations to take the lead in coordinating aid distribution in Gaza, as concerns mount over civilian deaths at food distribution points"
My problem with this intervention from the German Foreign Ministry is that Germany is the second largest provider of armaments to Israel.
So, before talking about aid, how about you stop providing the weapons that create the need for aid?? how about that?
Das Bild zeigt eine Person, die ein rotes Objekt, wahrscheinlich ein Smartphone, in der Hand hält. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf und zeigt eine Landschaft mit Bäumen und einem Weg. Über dem Bild ist der Text "Syft" in einer eleganten, silbernen Schrift überlagert. Die Buchstaben sind stilisiert, wobei der Buchstabe "y" eine Form hat, die an ein Schwert erinnert. Die Person trägt eine weiße Hose und rote Jeans, und man sieht nur die unteren Teile ihrer Beine und des Handgelenks. Die Farbe des Bildes ist überwiegend rot, was eine warme und lebendige Atmosphäre vermittelt.
