We are making progress on our painting! Here's how the canvas is prepared, the traditional way...
Step 1 – Stretching the canvas
Carl-Nikolas paints on one of the most durable painting supports there is: Belgian linen. Everything is crafted by hand for full control over the quality — raw fabric is stretched over a wooden frame using rust-free tacks.
Magnificent 😃
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed Saturn in a way never seen before, using powerful infrared vision to uncover hidden details within the gas giant’s atmosphere. In these remarkable observations, Saturn’s iconic rings shine brilliantly while the planet itself appears unusually dark because methane gas absorbs much of the reflected sunlight. Beyond the stunning contrast, scientists discovered mysterious dark spots, intricate cloud structures, and glowing auroral activity near the poles, revealing a far more dynamic and complex world than previously understood. These groundbreaking images are helping astronomers unlock new secrets about Saturn’s weather, atmospheric chemistry, and the evolution of giant planets throughout our Solar System. 🪐🔭✨
The Romans built this villa in the early 4th century, probably for a very high‑ranking official, maybe even an emperor.
Every corridor, every room, every bath, every reception hall was covered in mosaics.
What’s even more impressive is how it survived.
The villa was buried under mud after a massive landslide in the Middle Ages, and that disaster ended up being its protection. The roof collapsed, the walls fell, but the mosaics stayed sealed under layers of earth for centuries, untouched by weather, war, or looters.
When archaeologists finally uncovered it in the 20th century, they found the largest collection of Roman mosaics anywhere...more than 3,500 square meters of them!
The curl-crested aracari is the only toucan with curly feathers
It is famous for the tightly curled feathers on its head, a feature unique among toucans
America is a place, merged with an idea. Americans are those here who agree to this idea. The idea is that anything is possible and that you can live your life the way you want, so long as that way does not impinge on others’ ability to live the way they want.
As the current custodians of America, we will keep this idea sacred, so that it is healthy and alive for those who come after us. Just like those of the past 250 years did for us. Happy 4th of July.
We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it.
We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is.
Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops.
And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken.
The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question.
We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way.
Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid.
So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.
