@BrokkoGrafie how do you like the 150-600? I‘m torn between this lens and the shorter 100-400mm and tamron 150-500mm

„Böbbel, warum isst du dein Croissant eigentlich immer von der Mitte aus und fängst nicht an den Enden an? Das ist so doch viel schwieriger zu essen.“
„Das ist der Kehlbiss, Mama, dann kann das Croissant nicht mehr weglaufen.“

Ich wusste doch, es gibt einen Grund.

Ich komme gerade aus einem Meeting mit der #KV zum Thema ärztliche Versorgung im ländlichen Raum.

Tenor: Die ärztliche Versorgung auf dem Land setzt voraus, dass ein privater #PKW zur Verfügung steht.

Grund: Die KV plant die Versorgung an Hand von Erreichbarkeiten auf Grundlage von Fahrtzeiten mit dem PKW.

Bei der offiziellen Verabschiedung spricht Hans Bredow am Ende sichtlich gerührt. Noch im selben Jahr kommt er in Haft - so wie der Geschäftsführer der Reichsrundfunkgesellschaft Kurt Magnus.

More than 40% of insect species have declined in just a decade. They’re vanishing 8 times faster than mammals, birds or reptiles.

If insects go, so do the ecosystems that keep us alive.

Biodiversity is our life-support system — we can’t afford to let it collapse.

Insects on a windshield. A cartoon capturing changes in driving from 1990 to 2050. First panel: human driving a car, lots of insects on the windshield. Second panel: human driving a car, no insects on the windshield. Last panel: empty car, no insects, no human.

Great day for fans of stuck boats, as a Cypriot cargo ship has parked itself in somebody's garden in Norway - AND THERE'S LIVE FOOTAGE!

It's actually really relaxing to watch unless, presumably, you're one of the crew...

Edit: boo! They've turned the camera off now it's dark and the page is down. I'll see if there's a YouTube version tomorrow or something.

Excellent read! A feature about soft power competition and changing identities in the "KMT villages" in northern Thailand. About 200,000 descendents of the KMT's "lost army" live here. They are figuring out how to best preserve their identity as an ethnic minority, and what roles Taiwan and the PRC (their former enemies) play for them.

"For most of their history, these villages... looked to Taiwan for the source of their Chinese identity. But that is now changing."

Flock -- an automatic license-plate-reading service -- is adding tons of data sources ...

... so police could, upon scanning your license, get linked to tons more info about your life, relationships, etc

where did Flock get these additional sources of info?

they're using standard people-lookup tools and data brokers, but also ...

... info from *data breaches*

so great

@iFixit my apologies to the alkaline battery for this.

An image containing the parent image in the upper half, with the lower half containing the "three dragons" meme, but it's been edited to be mirrored and include a 4th head, one for each battery in the battery scan. The rechargeable lithium-ion dragon on the right looks at the viewer menacingly while the two middle dragons, representing NiMH and lithium-ion, look incredulously to their right at alkaline's dragon, which is drawn in a more simplistic way wearing a derpy expression - bulging eyes and tongue out to the side.

Reading for the Hugo Awards?

"Signs of Life" by Sarah Pinsker @sarahpinsker is a finalist for a Best Novelette Hugo Award!

Read it here or in the Hugo Award Packet! uncannymagazine.com/article/si

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 59, “Lunacy Act 1” by Broci: A woman with wearing a red dress with tattered ends, and white collar stands on the right side. Her hands are held out, disconnected from her arms as a moon lies beneath them. Around her there is a forest in shades of brown, grey and green; one of the trees has a charm attached to it. Her brown-blond hair is held upwards as if the wind were running through it. Nearby there are several butterflies that glow a light green, and the quote says, "If you were to drive to my sister Violet’s house today, you would find yourself at a very different place from the one I encountered on my first trip. The road up the mountain has been paved, for one thing, to make it more accessible to the tourists who now support it."

Russian propaganda in the wild, neither subtle nor clever:

On the left - the current @TheEconomist cover about the “Taiwan Test” facing the US government.

On the right: Russian fake cover swapping Taiwan for Ukraine, currently circulated by Matryoshka propaganda accounts.
