Scenes from a (Quiet) Revolution.

For the last two weeks, the street between two elementary schools in #Montreal have been closed to cars.

My son goes to one of them. The drop-off and pick-up, which used to be dangerous and stressful, have become a real pleasure—something to look forward to.

Take a look:

With six lanes of traffic plus two lanes for bikes and scooters, which go all over the place anyway, I wouldn’t cross the road to the campus except at the crossing with the lights🚦and it’s still challenging! #DailyWalkPic 12/06/25

4,500-year-old clay baby rattles in Syria reveal mass production and parenting in the Bronze Age

In an incredible reexamination of nearly century-old archaeological discoveries, scientists have identified 4,500-year-old clay baby rattles in the ancient city of Hama in western Syria, which offer intimate glimpses into the everyday lives of families in the Early Bronze Age. The rattles, long misclassified as miscellaneous ceramic handles for decades, are now known to be part of the earliest known examples of commercial toys in the Near East...

43,000-year-old Neanderthal fingerprint discovered on stone is the world’s oldest

In a discovery from the San Lázaro rock shelter in central Spain, near Segovia, archaeologists have unearthed what is thought to be the earliest known human fingerprint, challenging long-standing assumptions about Neanderthals’ symbolic and artistic capabilities. The find—an ocher-stained granite pebble with a well-defined fingerprint and arranged facial features—reveals an intentional attempt at symbolic expression some 43,000 years ago...

MA Barbe reviews KDE's contributions to the ecosystem during the State of Libre Graphics keynote at the @lgm 2025.

Although the whole video is interesting, the KDE section starts at 32:00 and covers the newest graphical features in #Plasma6, @Krita, @kdenlive and Glaxnimate.

When you cherry-pick data to support findings that serve your political goals, it’s no longer science.

It’s propaganda.

Happy #Friday to all! It's almost full-bloom of lilac season in northern #Michigan. Now if only I could somehow package the scent to go along with the pic! Can this be my #3GoodThings post for today? There's certainly more than 3 lilacs and certainly at least 3 good things about them... sight, smell, and happy pollinators.

Germany’s water reserves benefit from phaseout of nuclear and coal. Germany’s growing reliance on wind and solar is reducing water withdrawals once used for cooling coal and nuclear plants. This shift is easing pressure on rivers and aquifers during droughts, showing unanticipated environmental benefits beyond emissions cuts.

Scientists overturn century-old belief about how cells divide in living organisms. Using advanced imaging and cell-patterning techniques, UK researchers found that elongated parent cells maintain their asymmetry during division, creating daughter cells with different sizes and functions. This breakthrough could transform our understanding of tissue development, cancer progression, and regenerative medicine approaches.
