Nikon’s new super-zoom includes modes for shooting birds, fireworks, and the moon.
Launching in late February for $1,099.95, the Nikon Coolpix P1100 brings a few upgrades to the now-discontinued P1000 released in 2018. It’s got the same 24-3000mm lens offering 125x optical zoom, but adds USB-C (to comply with EU laws) and updated Bluetooth.
In addition to dedicated modes for birdwatchers and moon photography, the new P1100 also adds a fireworks mode that stacks multiple exposures to create light trails and to “reduce instances of blown-out highlights.”

Trump's remarks on Gaza, echoed by US officials, have drawn global criticism.
Former Irish diplomat Bobby McDonough told Al Jazeera that Trump's comments reveal a “moral vacuum” in the White House. He warned against dismissing them as mere rhetoric but noted Trump often backs down.
McDonough stressed Ireland’s support for a two-state solution, adding that Israel has “zero legal, moral, historical, biblical rights” to Palestinian land.

Ahead of the #German federal elections later this month, pro-kremlin outlets employ the usual manipulative narratives including tropes like ‘Germany is facing economic and social ruin’, ‘Germans are desperate for change’ and ‘only parties that promise such change will do well’.

Musk shocks lawmakers, setting himself on collision course
By Alexander Bolton / The Hill. View the full context on memeorandum.memeorandum
"Trump can go to hell, with his ideas, with his money, and with his beliefs. We are going nowhere. We are not some of his assets."
"The easier for him if he wants to resolve this conflict is to take the Israelis and put them in one of the states there. They are the strangers and not the Palestinians. We are the owner of the land."
Samir Abu Basil, 40, a father of five from Gaza City

🚀 From Bots to Agents: a new #opensource #Agentic #Framework 🤖
The AI landscape is shifting from scripted bots to autonomous AI agents that adapt, reason, and collaborate. To embrace this evolution, we’ve rebranded BESSER Bot Framework to BESSER Agentic Framework (BAF).
With BAF v2.0.0, we’re introducing Multi-Agent Systems, where agents communicate and work together to solve complex tasks. Plus, you get a flexible mix of rule-based logic and LLM-powered intelligence.
