The video showcases a serene beach scene, focusing on a sandy shore with numerous footprints leading towards the water. The foreground prominently features the footprints, which are imprinted in the darker sand, contrasting with the lighter sand nearby. The beach is bordered by calm blue water on the left, with gentle waves lapping at the shore. In the background, a line of trees and a distant pier can be seen, adding depth to the scene. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The overall atmosphere is tranquil, with no visible people in the immediate vicinity, emphasizing the quietness of the beach. The camera remains stationary throughout, capturing the footprints and the beach's natural beauty without any movement or change in perspective.

Bella, questa ricerca!
Il nostro corpo emette luce in modo diretto e ritmico L'intensità della luce emessa è 1000 volte inferiore alla sensibilità del nostro occhio nudo. L'emissione di fotoni ultradeboli è nota come energia rilasciata sotto forma di luce attraverso i cambiamenti nel metabolismo energetico. Le variazioni diurne nell'emissione di fotoni potrebbero essere collegate ai cambiamenti nel metabolismo energetico, ma variano anche in relazione a stati meditativi o nella focalizzazione mentale.

This is scary and highlights something that's painfully obvious in DC: smart people either don't want to work in this administration or are being turned away. But effective government - especially when crisis strikes - depends on having smart people around. washingtonpost.com/business/20…

I think of people like Wally Adeyemo, Shalanda Young, Rohit Chopra, Jigar Shah... these are intimidatingly smart people. You may not always agree on policy but their intellect and ability to simultaneously grasp the big picture and the minutiae of public policy are unparalleled.

Laura Chinchilla: “Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre cuerpos policiales“

La expresidenta Laura Chinchilla afirmó este sábado que el presidente Rodrigo Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre los cuerpos policiales. “El modelo policial de Costa Rica se caracteriza por la dispersión del mando, así diseñado por la legislación para evitar la concentración y el abuso de poder. De ahí que resulte fundamental […]

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle:

Here I am! I know, I'm late... I blame Arwen... I had my door open so she could reach me but apparently, she won't do that... I was so tired that the few hours I slept, I slept good... But when I woke up, I was greeted by smelly bits on the floor... And Arwen was very restless. So, I rushed Arwen outside. And she took her time. I needed to wee baldy too, so waiting for Arwen was rather hard... Then she got the meds and I started cleaning...

So it all took a little longer before I was able to head to the gym and all that...

Yesterday was a loooong day!! We went to the garage around noon. I had warned dad that a part of the highway was shut off and he needed to drive towards my place, and hit the other highway there. So, of course, he drove the way he always drove and... Had to drive the long way around because, heck, the highway was closed! 🤦🏼‍♂️ If only someone had said something... Ugh...

Im still no fan of the way how dad drives... And that didn't improve after last week... But, we got to the garage. And then... We had to wait for ages, as the man that dad had the appointment with, had an unscheduled appointment with folks that were making an outing of the garage visit... So.... We waited, a lot... I tried some of the cars, and found the keys in one of them. That... Should not happen! So, when the man *finally* had time for us, I did tell him that he had an insurance issue with the keys... And he was grateful for my telling him!

But, they got the car and it will be ready June 6th. Until then, they have an awesome loaner, that I was allowed to drive. Which was very cool, to me, at least. 😂

But, we didn't get home till past 17, when I usually go to bed around 15:30. Arwen did her things and then it was almost 17:30 when I was able to fall asleep.

My alarm woke me up at the usual time and then I found the surprises... Ugh... :parrotpoop: But Arwen felt worse than I did about it... So, hopefully, the room will be clean when I get back again... 🤞🏻

Let's get to the seated bike and do something good... :ablobcatangel: catch you in a bit, when I've managed to write my journal Toot... Which will include a part what I just shared here. 😉

I'll include a screenshot of the car that mum and dad are getting. Hopefully altbot can make something good for it...

The image features a black Toyota Auris Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid Executive. The main image shows the car from a front three-quarter angle, highlighting its sleek design, alloy wheels, and the Toyota emblem on the grille. The car has a yellow license plate with the text "9-TV-P-60." Below the main image, there are three smaller images: one of the car's side profile, another of the interior focusing on the steering wheel and dashboard, and a third showing the dashboard with gauges and a digital display. The text "Toyota Auris Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid Executive" is displayed at the bottom of the image.

My latest @mondoweiss weekly briefing newsletter: Israel’s genocide in Gaza accelerates while Trump cozies up to authoritarians

Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza, openly pursuing ethnic cleansing as Trump’s erratic diplomacy creates confusion. Journalist Hassan Eslayeh is killed, and Nakba Day underscores ongoing Palestinian suffering.

Theres some revelations available from #Overzealots video on the Sanitisation of our historical icons!

youtube.com/watch?v=VjzzLuRnTM…

As much as you think the current situation is bad, look to what has been done to the icons before and how their value and message has been coerced in the service of the status quo and the class inequality and exploitation afforded by capitalism.

The more you explore and know, the more you see the same treatment of any idea or action towards a resolution of our worlds problems.

If we can understand and respond to this, perhaps there can be a groundswell of people against the current peverse system frog marching us off the edge of a disasterous systemic ideological climate catastrophe cliff!

As requested, I just uploaded beautiful, 600dpi box scans for the SimCity Add-Ons "Architecture 1&2" to the Internet Archive. These boxes, without any changes, except a small sticker on the bottom, were used interchangeably for both IBM-PC and Amiga releases. Probably others, too.

The video features a small, light-colored kitten with distinct markings on its face and ears, set against a plain white background. Initially, the kitten is seen in a small, blurry image, gradually becoming clearer as the video progresses. The kitten's eyes are wide and expressive, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. As the video continues, the word "hello!" appears in a simple, sans-serif font above the kitten, with a yellow hand emoji waving next to it, adding a friendly and welcoming touch. The kitten's paw is also animated to wave, enhancing the greeting. The video concludes with a bright, abstract explosion of yellow and orange hues, creating a dynamic and cheerful end.

Ein schwarzes, welliges Haarwuchs-Hundebaby liegt auf einem beigen Teppich mit roten Herzen, der auf einem roten Sofa liegt. Das Hundebaby hat ein dunkles, welliges Fell mit einem Hauch von grauem und braunem Fell am Kopf und den Vorderpfoten. Es schläft tief und friedlich, mit dem Kopf auf dem Teppich und den Augen geschlossen. Der Hintergrund zeigt einen Teil des roten Sofas, der die Umgebung des Hundebabys ergänzt.
