NASA has released one of the most detailed visualizations ever created of Earth’s ocean currents.

Using data from satellites and advanced ocean models, the map reveals massive rivers of moving water, swirling eddies hundreds of miles wide, and the powerful Gulf Stream carrying warm water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic.

THANK YOU MESSAGE

I would like to thank you all for your greetings on my 91st birthday. As I mentioned to those gathered here in Leh, Ladakh, India on 6 July, when I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.

Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life's primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.

As you may be aware, following a successful medical procedure on my left knee in New Delhi last month, I have since been recuperating here in Ladakh. As in past years, I find the climate here at this time of year well suited to my health, and I therefore plan to remain in Ladakh for the next several weeks.

With my prayers and good wishes,

DALAI LAMA

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the principal source of success in life.

Jonathan Ross may be a misogynist, intoxicated by the authority imbued upon him, and a reckless hothead, but here's a behaviorist's view on the single thing that made him lose control and set him off to shoot Renee Good three times in the face. Believe it or not, it was her telling him it's OK, she wasn't mad at him and then turning the wheel to leave. That was her being in control, it was a statement about HER feelings, with HER as the subject, and driving away would have made that THE LAST WORD. He couldn't handle that. To him, she was slighting his manhood by making his feelings subordinate, effectively saying she wasn't afraid, and this caused his innate hatred for women to bubble up and overtake him. Shooting her was his way of saying - who has the last word now?

If Trump hadn’t raided Venezuela, tonight our media would be talking about Jan. 6, the rising cost of healthcare premiums, the Epstein files, the affordability crisis and Trump‘s tariffs exacerbating it, Trump’s falling approval, and the MAGA civil war. If you’re asking why he did it, there’s your answer!

Scientists believe the Milky Way is flying through space at 600 kilometers per second while also wobbling slightly, as if it’s flipping its wings through the cosmos.

@BBCWorld How can Israeli people be okay with this?

@BBCWorld Oh Wonderful America hate and fear. Most Nova Scotians would offer coffee or tea and help her find the right address. So sad!

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

@CJLSRadio Yeah sure and the cleaners in the hospital get shafted!

How do hungry Americans not be provoked into rioting in the streets causing well fed troops to crush dissent? US lost in a catch-22. How to transcend tyranny?

Trump: shrinks the food budgets of the poor while deliberately making the foods of the poor much more expensive.

@FaFoMamaBear It won’t before you are chained by your own ignorance. Authoritarianism is happening in your Country and you don’t see the shackles you are yoked with.
