Photographed in colour exactly 98 years ago this month - June 1928 - this beautiful Autochrome study of a German garden in Baden is a wondrous riot of colour. I love the 'Twenties flapper outfit with cloche hat and aqua marine scarf! It is original colour, taken by Wilhelm Tobien using an early colour glass-plate process. It isn't colourised. 😍

Helga wechselt Briefe mit Krystyna und weiteren Insassinnen. Sie besorgt ihnen Medikamente, Zigaretten und Äpfel. Am 26. Juni wird Krystyna Wituska in Halle ermordet. „Wir sterben am Vorabend des Sieges“, schreibt sie ihren Eltern. In Halle erinnert ein Gedenkobelisk an sie. 2/2

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by @KatiePhang. Read the details here:

Plummeting numbers of insects are now severely affecting birds, research shows. They are getting smaller and producing fewer young.

@NastyOldWomynII My condolences, CC. Complicated grief is still grief and can bring many emotions at once. I hope you can find peace and healing in the days ahead.

For the first time, researchers have identified exactly what Roman builders were adding to their concrete to make it last for centuries....

At an unfinished building site in Pompeii, abandoned during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, archaeologists uncovered something rare: Roman concrete materials that were prepared but never mixed. That frozen moment revealed how Roman builders actually made their concrete.

Instead of mixing lime and water the way we do today, they combined quicklime with volcanic ash first, then added water. The reaction produced intense heat and left behind tiny fragments of reactive lime trapped inside the hardened concrete. When cracks later formed and water seeped in, those fragments reacted again and sealed the damage from within.

In other words, some Roman concrete was intentionally engineered to heal its own cracks — and it’s still doing it nearly 2,000 years later.

“A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet warns that the defunding of USAID will result in a staggering 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of five.”

Preventable deaths.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

The world's richest man is desperately trying to rewrite history regarding his destruction of USAID.

Elon Musk's sudden pivot to damage control proves he knows exactly how devastating his actions were, no matter how much he tries to spin it now.

In his latest gaslighting campaign, Musk claims he only stepped in to ensure there was no fraud, leaning heavily on fabricated narratives about Ukraine and COVID to shield himself from criticism. But the internet remembers everything. We all saw him brag on X about sending USAID to the wood chipper with zero regard for the global fallout.

His malicious cuts dismantled life-saving food, medical, and security infrastructure around the world. A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet warns that the defunding of USAID will result in a staggering 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of five. Hundreds of thousands have already died. They are dying from entirely treatable conditions like malnutrition, malaria, and a lack of HIV medication because PEPFAR and global health networks were frozen overnight.

Naturally, given the chaotic nature of humanitarian crises, it is impossible to audit every single one of these deaths in real time. But while the precise statistics will be debated by academics for years, the big picture is inescapable: when you suddenly choke off medicine and food to millions of vulnerable people, catastrophic suffering and a massive loss of life are the inevitable result.

No amount of whitewashing by Musk will change the facts, and history will remember him for the lives he destroyed

In mehreren italienischen Städten werden öffentliche Sitzbänke inzwischen so umgestaltet, dass sich unter ihnen kleine geschützte Plätze für Straßenkatzen befinden. Dort finden die Tiere Schutz vor Kälte, Regen und anderen Gefahren, ohne aus der Umgebung verdrängt zu werden, die sie kennen und in der sie sich orientieren.
Diese kleinen Rückzugsorte sind oft mit weichen Unterlagen und Futternäpfen ausgestattet, sodass ausgesetzte oder herrenlose Katzen einen sicheren Platz zum Ausruhen bekommen. Gerade für Tiere, die tagtäglich draußen überleben müssen, kann so ein einfacher Unterschlupf einen großen Unterschied machen.
Das Besondere an diesem Projekt ist, dass es zeigt, wie gut Stadtgestaltung und Mitgefühl zusammenpassen können. Mit kleinen, durchdachten Veränderungen werden gewöhnliche öffentliche Plätze plötzlich zu wertvollen Schutzräumen für Tiere, die sonst oft übersehen werden.
Manchmal braucht es keine großen Bauprojekte, um Leben zu verbessern. Manchmal reicht eine einfache Bank – und die Idee, dass unter ihr nicht nur Menschen, sondern auch Tiere ein wenig Sicherheit finden können.

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.
