It's like a scene from "The Antiques Roadshow." In 1946, Harvard Law School paid $27.50 for what it believed to be an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta. Two medieval history experts analyzed it and have concluded that it's actually the real deal: A rare, lost original Magna Carta from 1300 (the reign of King Edward I) that could be worth millions. Here's more from @BBCNews.

Due to library incompatibilies, which we noticed way too late, we had to add another arduino. This in turn pushed our power source to its limit, forcing us to add an additional 9v battery. And now he's too heavy and only makes micro jumps. :.D
I need to make better photos tomorrow but on its back are another 2 powerhungry servos, opening and closing a 3rd "magical" eye/orb. I'm still surprised it works at all. xD

Amid surveillance concerns, Dearborn approves $720K for police access to real-time videos

You really need to make a much stronger statement on this issue.
First, technofascism is the direct opposite of an ecosystem.
Second, all those "sort of", "like an" and "could be" need to go. I know, you know and everyone knows that police video surveillance networks are the foundation of city-wide digital concentration camps.
Just say it like it is.

Putin appoints Russian Ground Forces Commander Saliukov to Security Council role

The image shows a small, fluffy dog with long, shaggy fur walking on a gray tiled patio. The dog is positioned in the center of the image, facing away from the camera, with its tail raised. The tiles are square and arranged in a grid pattern, with some grass growing in the gaps. The dog's shadow is cast on the ground, indicating a strong light source, likely the sun. In the background, there are two objects: a wooden planter box on the left and a wicker chair on the right. The lighting suggests it is a sunny day, with the sun casting a sharp shadow of the dog on the ground.

Who would have thought, that education leads to better income? 🤦♂️
But it's not the foreigners that are driving up prices. It's the Germans themselves. It's just that the educated tech folks can still afford paying those (and often have to because they don't have the network to get the cheap homes).

While walking through Times Square, I passed this group of K-pop dancers moving confidently beneath a giant wall of illuminated stars and stripes. The contrast struck me — a symbol of the USA glowing behind a group shaped by Korean pop culture.
This moment felt like a celebration of what makes the U.S. unique: a place where influences from around the world collide, remix, and create something new.
It’s this multicultural energy that always drew me in — open, evolving, real.
Now in 2025 I worry that this openness, this beautiful cultural blend, is under pressure. That what once made this place vibrant is being challenged — by fear, by division, by politics, by facists …
I still believe in the potential of diversity — not just as a buzzword, but as a way of living and growing together. And I hope that images like this one continue to be possible in the future, not in spite of difference, but because of it.

in reply to 👑QueenPumpkin🎃 • • •Das Bild zeigt eine fantastische Szene mit einem glitzernden Pinguin, der bis zu den Schultern im Wasser steht. Der Pinguin hat ein blau-goldenes Gefieder, das an Sternen erinnert, und einen orangefarbenen Schnabel. Er steht in einem ruhigen Gewässer, umgeben von rosa Blüten, die auf den Steinen und im Wasser liegen. Im Hintergrund ist eine große, goldene Mond, die den Himmel erhellt, und Bäume mit zarten rosa Blüten. Ein verschwommener Mann im Hintergrund geht entlang einer beleuchteten Straße, die von warmen Lichtern gesäumt ist. Die gesamte Szene ist in einem mystischen, winterlichen Ambiente gehalten, mit einem Hauch von Magie und Schönheit.
