Some Good News, everybody!
"Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034"
Nope. No signal nothing. Nicely hidden away.
A small hike.
Nearly all of these commuters could fit on a handful of trains and buses. When you build more roads, what you are really building is more traffic, attracting more cars.
I cringe to think of what the emissions difference is.

Tweets exchanged today, May 2, 2025, between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the German Foreign Office. RUBIO: "Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. Thatβs not democracyβitβs tyranny in disguise. What is truly extremist is not the popular AfDβwhich took second in the recent electionβbut rather the establishmentβs deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes. Germany should reverse course." @GERMANYDIPLO: "This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped."
Surreal exchange. Rubio butts into German politics. (Was this drafted by a certain State Dept aide who looooves the AfD?)
The German Foreign Office takes Rubio to school: "We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped."

Look at this nightmare scene!
These 467 sheep are tormented by eating abundant grass daily & basking in the shade on this 330 acre solar farm while they increase the soilβs organic content.
In further tragedy, the #solar farm has saved $ via the sheep & avoided any use of any mechanical mowers.

PSA: TMobile USβ Apple Watch Stand Alone plan is absolutely useless when roaming. It doesnβt support any use outside of USA over cellular. So if you have Apple Watch stand alone for kids and are roaming consider other options before leaving the country.
Oh how do you do that? Can you also rent time on these telescopes? This is awesome.
