For more than 35 years, artist Ricky Boscarino has turned his house in Sandyston, N.J., and its 8.5 acres into an eye-popping gallery filled with sculptures, ceramics, mosaics and whimsy.
@SerenaAltschul pays a visit to Boscarino's quirky home, dubbed Luna Parc, and his outdoor "electric garden." https://t.co/6VF79Tgt8K

IF YOU DIED TOMORROW, YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS A SINGLE THING YOU OWN DIGITALLY.
BANK ACCOUNTS. PASSWORDS. CLOUD STORAGE. ALL OF IT PERMANENTLY LOCKED AWAY.

CHATGPT HAS QUIETLY BUILT A FILE ON YOU. YOU'VE NEVER SEEN MOST OF WHAT'S IN IT.
EVERY MESSAGE YOU SEND FEEDS IT. IT STUDIES YOUR PATTERNS TO MAP YOUR PERSONALITY AND HABITS, THINGS YOU NEVER ACTUALLY TOLD IT.
HERE ARE 15 PROMPTS TO PULL UP EVERYTHING IT HAS ON YOU, AND WIPE WHAT YOU NEVER AGREED TO:
Costco doesn't have prices. It has a code. And almost nobody shopping there today can read it.
You walk past a stack of the same protein bars every week at $16.99. Then one week it's $12.97 and you have no idea if that's a real deal or just a coincidence. You buy it anyway, hoping. Meanwhile the guy next to you is grabbing five packs like he knows something you don't.
He does.
A longtime warehouse employee explained exactly how Costco's tag system works — the tiny numbers and symbols printed on every single price sign that tell you, in advance, whether something is full price, about to go on clearance, or about to disappear from the store forever.
Their take: "Costco never announces a sale. It just changes two digits on a tag. If you don't know what they mean, you're paying full price standing right next to someone paying half."
Here's how to actually read a Costco tag 🧵

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
76 yaşında Richard Gere'in söylediği, yalnızca yaşlanmaktan korkanların değil, herkesin duyması gereken sözler…
Yaşlılık sadece kırışıklık değildir.
Sadece beyaz saç da değildir.
Kimlikte yazan bir sayı hiç değildir.
Asıl yaşlılık, hayatın peşinden durmadan koşmak yerine onu yaşamayı öğrendiğiniz andır.
Evet, beden değişir.
Yüz, gençlikteki gibi kalmaz.
Hareketler yavaşlar.
Ayna ise gerçeği her zamankinden daha açık gösterir.
Ama zamanın elinden alamadığı bir şey vardır:
Kalp.
Çünkü kalp, beden gibi yaşlanmaz.
İlk sevgiyi, ilk hayali, ilk acıyı, ilk kaybı ve dünyayı kucaklamak istediğiniz o ilk sevinci hep hatırlar.
Ruhun yaşı yoktur.
Yıllar geçtikçe belki de en önemli gerçeği anlarız:
Her yaş, yaşanması gereken doğru yaştır.
• 20'li yaşlar cesaret verir.
• 30'lu yaşlar inşa etme gücü kazandırır.
• 40'lı yaşlar insanı kendisiyle dürüst olmaya götürür.
• 50'li yaşlar derinlik kazandırır.
• 60'lı yaşlar bilgelik getirir.
• 70'li yaşlar ise artık kimseye bir şey ispat etme ihtiyacı duymayan huzuru sunar.
Her yaşın kendine özgü bir armağanı vardır.
Yaş almak bir yenilgi değil, bir ayrıcalıktır.
Çünkü herkes saçlarının beyazladığını göremez.
Herkes çocuklarının büyüdüğüne tanıklık edemez.
Herkes yeni bir baharı karşılayamaz.
Herkes sabah uyanıp, "Ben hâlâ buradayım." diyemez.
Çoğu zaman zamana karşı savaşırız.
Kırışıklıkları gizleriz.
Yaşımızdan utanırız.
Eski fotoğraflarla kendimizi kıyaslarız.
Oysa gerçek zafer, dışarıdan genç görünmek değil; içten yaşlanmamaktır.
Merakını koruyabilmek…
Nezaketini kaybetmemek…
Hayata hâlâ şaşırabilmek…
İçtenlikle gülebilmek…
Korkmadan sevebilmek…
Küçük şeylere şükredebilmek…
Sessiz günlerde bile güzelliği görebilmek…
Çünkü genç görünmenin değil, son güne kadar canlı bir ruha sahip olmanın sırrı önemlidir.
O zaman geçen her yıl bir kayıp olmaktan çıkar, bir armağana dönüşür.
Yaş almaktan korkmayın. Asıl korkulması gereken, hayatı gerçekten yaşamadan ömrü tüketmektir. Çünkü yaşlanmak solup gitmek değil, bazen insanın içten içe parlamaya başlamasıdır. 🌿✨

The EPA's independent science arm did groundbreaking research to save lives. It studied fertility, asthma, wildfires, drinking water, climate change etc etc
In just one year, it has been almost completely dismantled
Of 1500 scientists, only 124 remain
