Ich sag es echt ungern, aber die bayerische Rhön gerade jetzt mit Beginn des Herbstes ist schon wirklich schön 🤩. Ich hatte heute einen Seelentag 😍
Das Bild zeigt eine dichte Ansammlung von roten Beeren an einem Busch mit grünen Blättern. Die Beeren sind rund und glänzend, und sie wachsen in kleinen Gruppen entlang der Zweige. Die Blätter sind ovale und glänzend, mit einer leuchtenden grünen Farbe. Der Busch hat viele Zweige, die sich in alle Richtungen erstrecken und mit Beeren und Blättern bedeckt sind. Die Beeren sind in verschiedenen Reifegraden zu sehen, einige sind vollständig rot, während andere noch etwas grünlich sind. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf, was die Beeren und Blätter im Vordergrund hervorhebt.

Das Bild zeigt eine imposante Metallstatue eines Adler, die auf einem Sockel steht. Der Adler ist detailliert gestaltet, mit flügelartigen Strukturen, die aus vielen flachen, rautenförmigen Metallplatten zusammengesetzt sind, die die Federn des Vogels nachahmen. Seine Krallen umklammern eine dünne, geschlungenen Metallkette, die sich um den Sockel windet. Der Adler blickt nach unten, mit einem ernsten Gesichtsausdruck und einem scharfen Schnabel. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einem blauen Himmel mit weißen, weichen Wolken, und einige Bäume sind im Hintergrund zu sehen. Die Statue ist im Freien aufgestellt und scheint Teil eines öffentlichen Parks oder einer öffentlichen Anlage zu sein.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische Landschaft mit einem eleganten Gebäude im Hintergrund. Das Gebäude hat einen zylindrischen Dachstuhl und große Fenster, die auf eine klassische Architektur hinweisen. Es ist von einer gepflegten Rasenfläche umgeben, die von verschiedenen Bäumen und Sträuchern umrahmt wird. Die Bäume sind in verschiedenen Grüntönen, einige mit Anzeichen von Herbstfarben, was auf die Jahreszeit hinweist. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein gepflasterter Weg, der zu einem kunstvollen Laternenpfosten führt, der auf einem weißen Sockel steht. Die gesamte Szene strahlt Ruhe und Harmonie aus, mit einer Mischung aus Natur und Architektur, die eine einladende Atmosphäre schafft.

Das Bild zeigt eine schmale, gepflasterte Straße, die von niedrigen Mauern auf beiden Seiten begrenzt wird. Die Straße ist mit unregelmäßigen Steinen gepflastert und führt in die Ferne, wo sie zwischen Bäumen verschwindet. Die Mauern sind mit Moos und Flechten bedeckt, was auf Alter und Witterungseinflüsse hinweist. Auf beiden Seiten der Straße gibt es Metallgeländer, die als Sicherheitsmaßnahme dienen. Die Bäume sind mit Blättern bedeckt, was auf eine Jahreszeit hindeutet, in der die Blätter noch nicht gefallen sind. Der Himmel ist bewölkt, was eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre schafft. Die gesamte Szene ist in Schwarz-Weiß fotografiert, was eine klassische und zeitlose Atmosphäre vermittelt.

The NYC Mayoral Primary was June 24 (95 days ago) & the General is Nov 4 (in 37 days). And Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries—the two Democratic Party leaders who should be leading by example—have still REFUSED to endorse the democratic nominee.
I don’t ever wanna hear them or any of their supporters utter “vote blue no matter who,” ever again. What indefensible cowardice and hypocrisy.

Castelnovo Monti, per Gaza
In dialogo con l’Assessora con delega ai Diritti e alla Pace del Comune di Castelnovo Monti, Silvia Dallaporta, abbiamo pensato che fosse opportuno sostenere i nostri cittadini e le nostre cittadine nel loro operato per sensibilizzare sulla Palestina, come già fanno da maggio ’25 con i “Sabati per Gaza”, e abbiamo pensato di farlo continuando la lettura di alcuni nomi dei bambini uccisi nel corso del Genocidio in atto prima di alcuni momenti culturali e non solo.
L’idea è quella che anche altri eventi possano prevedere momenti simili, ovviamente senza sentirsi costretti nel farlo, per non dissociarci mai dalla realtà che ci circonda.
Sicuramente ci sarà chi dirà: “Ma ci sono anche altre guerre in corso, perché non parlate mai di quelle?”.
Io rispondo che, purtroppo, Gaza è diventata il simbolo di tutte quelle guerre che vi sono nel mondo, un simbolo potente della debolezza dei governi, ma della forza dei popoli come costruttori di pace; è diventata un simbolo di immobilismo politico dettato dall’economia e al contempo di marcia unitaria dei popoli dettata dalla coscienza internazionale di non poter più accettare ipocrisia e diseguaglianze.
Uniti e unite sempre nella lotta e nella costruzione della giustizia, uniti e unite nel costruire un futuro concretamente migliore e di speranza.

This is happening behind-the-scenes and you won't hear about it from corporate media. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, now basically an arm of the Trump administration, is cutting loose NPR completely because Trump hates the content on NPR.
Now, I listen to NPR regularly, and have to say that it is pretty benign. I was frustrated with its lack of hard news coverage many times over the last few years. To say that NPR and PBS are "monsters" and biased, (as Trump has said) is ridiculous.
Sadly, I don't see anyone in the US standing up for public media.

15 of the funniest things that non-Americans have said about the U.S.
As the leader of the free world, many people outside of the U.S. have strong opinions about America and its residents. Not all of them are accurate, of course, which can lead to some misunderstandings with non-Americans. However, it also opens the door for plenty of humor.
Americans are admired by many across the world for our creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and can-do attitude. But they also draw some side-eye for their love of huge portions, guns, and patriotism. Non-Americans are also skeptical about why they have garbage disposals and love putting ranch dressing on just about everything.
A Reddit user asked Americans for “the funniest thing a foreigner has said to you about America.” The answers were a great mix of cultural misunderstandings, myth-busting, and much-needed geography lessons. Here are 15 of the funniest things non-Americans have told Americans about the U.S.
1. Slick Willy
"While being transported from the airport to the hotel in Morocco, the cab driver said, 'American?' I responded, 'Yes.' His response: 'Ahhh yes. Bill Clinton.'"
"Buddy was in Eastern Europe in the 90s, and a little old lady who spoke no English found out he was American and just said 'Monica Lewinsky' and then laughed."
2. American monsters
"An International Student (from Malta) and I were hanging out at the 'Smoker's Lounge,' aka the place in front of the dorms where people smoked. A raccoon popped out of one of the trash cans, and he freaked out and said that the animals in North America were the size of monsters."
3. It's a big country
"A Japanese person once told me that the US is 'enviably wide.'"
"Because Japan is similarly tall, but lamentably skinny."
4. Melon farmers?
"A guy from the UK I know loves to refer to Americans as melon farmers. Melon farming imbeciles. Doesn't know what some object I refer to is? Must be some kind of weird melon farming contraption. Where have I been the last few days? Must have been tending to my melon farm. I wish I had a backyard instead of a dumb asphalt apartment parking lot? Ah, I must be missing life back on my melon farm."
5. No wood houses
"This man I knew in college was from rural Kenya. Apparently, your temporary house was constructed of wood. Folks that had gained enough wealth no longer had a wooden house."
"We had a guy from Kenya bring pumpkin spice muffins to a potluck. He said something like 'I see how you keep pumpkins on your porches, so I figured you must really love them.'"
6. We love ranch
"A French guy asked me if we really put ranch on everything. I said, 'Yes, even salad,' and he stared at me like I’d just admitted to living in a dumpster."
7. Guns, guns, guns
"A Persian man that I worked with did a redneck impression. He said 'I'm an American and I like guns and Jesus' in a perfect southern accent."
"When I lived in Italy, one of the first questions my neighbors asked was 'How many guns do you have and where do you keep them all?' They were absolutely floored that I didn’t own any guns."
8. Small world
"A waiter in Prague asked where I was from. I told him Boston. He said, 'Oh, I have a friend named Tomas Dvorak in Wyoming. Do you know him?'"
9. We love peanut butter
"When I studied abroad in Germany, my host family told me 'We bought lots of peanut butter for you. We know Americans need peanut butter.' I do love peanut butter, but I had definitely never heard that stereotype before!"
"I did once startle a lovely Australian couple with my PBJ. Apparently, PB and J are only considered compatible here in North America. They looked at the sandwich I made with the same kind of horror I might’ve used on something with, IDK, tuna and marshmallow fluff."
10. Are cheerleaders real?
"'Are cheerleaders real?' Cheerleaders were in movies, but a teenager in London had no idea if that was a real thing. It was a charming conversation as a teenager."
"I like how foreigners will believe that everyone in America is dodging gunfights and car chases on their morning commute, but then think we made up cheerleaders and yellow busses for the movies."
11. Sweet tea is addictive
"A British friend of mine called southern sweet tea 'the most vile, disturbing, horrific swill ever created. Please bring another pitcher.'"
"If they don't have to amputate a foot after your first glass it needs more sugar."
12. Angry sink
"Saying I had an angry sink because it had a garbage disposal in it."
13. Crossed-up
"My fiancé from the Netherlands asked what the 'zing' road sign meant that he kept seeing everywhere. I couldn’t figure out what the heck he was talking about at first. It was the X-ing (crossing) sign."
"My international colleague thought it was a word in Chinese (Xing) and was very confused by this lol."
14. It's bigger than you think
"My wife's Swedish cousins thought they could go explore both New York City and Los Angeles in a single weekend."
"Also had Swedish visitors, and we live in New England. They wanted to take a drive to California during the 5 days they were going to be here, and they wanted to stop and see the Grand Canyon along the way, then be back in time to catch their flight home out of Boston."
15. The Ohios
"Was at a pub in Italy with a friend, and some of the guys found out we were American. Proceeded to take shots with them toasting ‘to the Ohios!’… we’re not from Ohio lol."
"Which Ohio are you not from, North Ohio, or South Ohio?"

If the total amount of money held by Americans was distributed evenly, how much would you get?
The United States has more money held by private citizens than any other country in the world. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. households hold a total of $160.35 trillion, which is the value of each person’s assets minus their liabilities. However, many Americans are perplexed by the fact that, in a country with such wealth, so many people still struggle to make ends meet.
Although Americans hold the largest amount of privately held wealth in the world, many of us still struggle with financial stress. A recent report found that 68% don’t have enough money to retire, 56% are struggling to keep up with the cost of living, and 45% are worried about their debt levels. A significant reason is that a small number of people hold a large portion of the privately held wealth in the U.S..
Nearly two-thirds of America’s private wealth is held by the top 10% of people, leaving the remaining one-third to be divided among 90% of the population.
What if America divided its privately held money evenly?
With so many people struggling in America, while a few at the top are unbelievably wealthy, what would happen if the money were magically divided evenly among the 340 million people who live in the United States? If everyone received a truly equal share of the American pie, every person would receive approximately $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple and $1.89 million for those with two kids.
With that chunk of change, the couple could easily pay off the average U.S. mortgage and have plenty of resources to save for a good retirement and send both kids to a decent college or trade school. The billionaire who once had more assets than they knew what to do with would probably have to move into a middle-class neighborhood.
However, such a drastic redistribution of wealth would be cataclysmic for the economy, as people would have to liquidate their investments to give their assets to others. The sudden increase in wealth for many, without a corresponding increase in goods and services, would lead to incredibly high inflation. The dramatic reconfiguring of the economy would also disincentivize some from working and others from innovating. Some posit that if everyone were equal, in just a few months, those with wealth-generating skills would immediately begin rising to the top again, while others would fall behind.
What programs reduce poverty?
Although it seems that a massive redistribution of wealth isn’t in the cards for many reasons, we do have some evidence from recent history on how programs that give people money can help lift them out of poverty. Government stimulus programs during the COVID-19 pandemic brought the U.S. poverty level to a record low of 7.8% in 2021. Child poverty was also helped by the American Rescue Plan’s Child Tax credit expansion, which drove child poverty to an all-time low of 5.2%. It’s also worth noting that the trillions in government stimulus had a downside, as it was partially responsible for a historic rise in inflation.
While for many, the notion that there are billionaires while others can hardly get by feels obscene, redistributing America’s wealth is more of a thought experiment than something that would realistically happen. But it highlights an important truth: massive wealth inequality exists in the world’s wealthiest nation. While perfect equality will never exist, that shouldn't stop us from making targeted efforts to reduce poverty that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

#BlockMeta #DefederateMeta #DefederateThreads
From: @ophiocephalic
kolektiva.social/@ophiocephali…
There is currently a rumor afoot that Zuckerberg is planning to expropriate the AT protocol for Threads. If true, the pattern is undeniable, suggesting that any remotely open social media protocol which finds its footing will be subjected to a Zuckerberg incursion. Accordingly, future protocol developments should insure Zuckerberg-resistant measures as early as possible in their life cycle.🐸 Protocols should incorporate Zuckerberg-repellent technology into their foundational codebase
🐸 Protocol projects should exclude the participation of anyone who could later become a Zuckerberg collaborator (e.g. het cis white guys who want to "keep politics out of it")
🐸 Protocols should be oriented, both in developmental organization and in the emergent community topologies they engender, to horizontally distribute and diffuse power; power concentrations become throttle-points for corruption, primed for Zuckerberg exploitation (e.g. SWICG, SWF)
🐸 Protocols should be designed to encourage the kinds of communities in which Zuckerberg-hate is a prominent characteristic, and which will be quick to activate and organize a social opposition to Zuckerberg incursion (e.g. FediPact)
We can take our lessons from the current failures; ActivityPub was deficient in all of these requirements except the last, and if the rumors are true, there's no hope at all for AT. Put simply, the protocol that powers the decentralized social network of tomorrow will be the one with the most successful Zuckerberg-resistant adaptions
#DefederateMeta #FediPact #Meta #Zuckerberg #Threads #Facebook #Instagram #SocialWebFoundation #SWICG #Bluesky
@ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social
This is FAKE. Rumours mean fake to me. ¿Is there any trustable source that can confirm that?
Anyway, threads doesn't work with AT protocol. It is partially federated with activitypub. But both are open source protocoal, so no corporation or person can appropriate them. Particularly the fediverse, is an actual 'billionaire proof' environment.
Please DO NOT spread fake news.
The image features a large, colorful flag with horizontal stripes of blue, indigo, violet, green, yellow, and red, resembling the rainbow flag. The flag is being held by multiple people, with their hands visible at the bottom corners. The flag is spread out, creating a wave-like pattern as it billows in the air. In the background, a crowd of people can be seen, some holding smaller flags, indicating a public event or gathering. The setting appears to be outdoors, with trees and a clear sky visible. The flag's vibrant colors and the presence of people suggest a celebration or demonstration related to LGBTQ+ pride.

Bluetooth Earrings Pump Out The Tunes
When you think of a Bluetooth speaker, you’re probably picturing a roughly lunchbox-sized device that pumps out some decent volume for annoying fellow beachgoers, hikers, or public transport users. [Matt Frequencies] has developed something in an altogether different form factor—tiny Bluetooth speakers you can dangle from your earlobes! They’re called Earrays, and they’re awesome.
The build started with [Matt] harvesting circuit boards from a pair of off-the-shelf Bluetooth earbuds. These are tiny, and perfect for picking up a digital audio stream from a smartphone or other device, but they don’t have the grunt to drive powerful speakers. Thus, [Matt] hooked them up to a small Adafruit PAM8302A amplifier board, enabling them to drive some larger speaker drivers that you can actually hear from a distance. These were then installed in little 3D printed housings that are like a tiny version of the speaker arrays you might see hanging from the rigging at a major dance festival. Throw on a little earring hook, and you’ve got a pair of wearable Bluetooth speakers that are both functional, fashionable, and very audible!
[Matt] has continued to develop the project, even designing a matching pendant and a charging base to make them practical to use beyond a proof-of concept. Despite the weight of the included electronics, they’re perfectly wearable, as demonstrated by [DJ Kaizo Trap] modelling the hardware in the images seen here.
We’ve seen plenty of great LED earrings over the years, but very few jewelry projects in the audio space thus far. Perhaps that will change in future—if you pursue such goals, let us know!

Hmmm.... so sure it gave you access to lots of data (I use Google all the time so I *do* value this), but it also led to the wrong conclusion - so not quite sure about your conclusion it was 'really effective'?

Fair enough, this was a game with n=1 so if you've been doing i regularly with a different class of photos and getting much better results I can see why you would conclude its really effective
