Chemical-free, technology-based: A mosquito-free park in CHINA
In a park in Hangzhou, a smart mosquito control system has been implemented without the use of chemicals.
The traps mimic human body signals—heat, scent, and carbon dioxide—attracting mosquitoes and then killing them using air suction.
This technology offers an alternative to traditional urban pest control methods.
This is a phenomenal testimony and worth the 10 minutes.
'Alex Reads Tarot' was a popular and prominent social media creator in the 'WitchTok space, where she gained a large following by posting daily tarot readings, zodiac updates, and paid spiritual readings.
Then, without warning, she nuked her social media accounts, deleted all her videos, changed her handle to 'Alex in the Ordinary,' changed her look, and announced in an emotional testimony that she's become a Christian as a result of Christ calling her to Himself.
She is clear: “Jesus Christ has saved my life.”
She notes that once the account is gone, she will not be making any more social media content, but rather will be stepping out of the spotlight to pursue her good God and Savior and His call on her life.
Keep this sister in your prayers!
Folks who argue for degrowth as a path to environmental justice need to reckon with the fact that the countries improving outcomes for the poor while reducing their environmental impacts are overwhelmingly rich and growing.
Great piece by @jburnmurdoch, as always.
The first figure below uses data from a paper of ours, led by @pants_dancy, with @exconomist. Links and more info below.
Dr. Daniel Amen has a strong warning for parents: Keep kids away from screens for as long as possible. Even “educational” shows like Miss Rachel aren’t great for developing brains.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screens before age 3, but he thinks even that might be too young. Screens are designed to hook dopamine and steal attention.
Extensive research, including large-scale studies from the American Academy of Pediatrics and JAMA Pediatrics, links early screen exposure to increased risks of language delays, attention problems, poorer sleep, and higher rates of emotional regulation issues in young children.

@scaling01 quantum foam :))) I think Einstein got it with E=mc2.... where the E comes from God himself and organizes everything into matter.... who knows, lets see if he lets us figure that out sometime :)))
Here we observe the seismic waves propagating outwards from the destructive M7.2 and M7.5 Venezuela earthquakes today June 24th 2026. This was the strongest earthquake sequence Venezuela has experienced since the 1812 Caracas Earthquake...
@cremieuxrecueil naaaa, not my experience... sometimes it says 100% AI generated when not and sometimes less than 10% when most.... we have to benchmark this better
