Las nubes situadas al Oeste, sobre el horizonte marino, reflejan los tonos lila y rosa del momento del amanecer en la bahía.  Esa luz mágica se muestra también en el agua y en los flecos de espuma que llegan a la orilla. Dos montes flanquean la entrada del mar y una isla emerge alineada entre ambos.

The US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since ​the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now.

This spells continued disruption to Middle East oil exports and diverges from Trump’s words.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the number of American service members injured in the Iran war is “in the ballpark” of about 150 — a figure that far exceeds earlier official tallies.

This black and white photograph depicts a group of women, identified as farm wives belonging to the "Helping Hand" club from near West Carlton in Yamhill County, Oregon. The photo captures them carefully rolling up what appears to be an unfinished quilt that they are working on together outside their home.

The setting is residential with a focus on community and collaboration among these rural female members who engage actively in group activities such as quilting which was not only a common domestic pastime but also served as both recreation and sustenance during times of difficulty. The photograph captures this moment from the side, showing six women: three young adults (two standing holding one end of the quilt) and two middle-aged ladies with short hair (one sitting on steps while rolling up the quilt; another leaning against a porch rail), suggesting an intimate family-like atmosphere among them.

The image conveys a sense of unity and shared responsibility within their community. The group's activity is indicative not only of domestic life but also serves as evidence for women’s roles in rural America, showcasing how they played crucial parts outside the home through club activities which were instrumental during challenging times like those experienced by farmers post-Depression era.

You're not alone. Yesterday, the 43 millionth new bluesky user came aboard. We're more than one-we're many communities. The new CEO is a VC, which may answer the question, When/how will bluesky monetize? For now, the experience is good here. Express yourself. Get scolded by a liberal. Itsa thing.

Jack's quiet history: The year 2026 has the exact same calendar layout as 1914. Both years start on a Thursday and both are non leap years, which means every date falls on the same weekday as it did more than a century ago.

We have successfully bombed a school, gotten 7 soldiers killed, disrupted the world economy, and replaced an 86 year-old supreme leader with his much younger, more hardline son who is more committed to building nuclear weapons. Operation Middle East Wing is all but complete.
