Pheidole bicarinata big-headed ants tend to aphids on the underside of a fern in Indiana Dunes National Park. The ants are supposed to protect the aphids, but they seem to have missed a ladybird beetle larva snacking through the herd.

I’m already sensing a theme…

It’s the first press day at the IFA 2024 tech show, and Samsung’s giant billboard on the side of Messe Berlin’s City Cube might just hint at what we’ll see inside this week.

The South Korean tech giant’s press conference starts in 15 minutes, and The Verge will be there — as long as I can find some coffee first.

Follow our IFA story stream for all the news.

Israel’s government is fracturing under unprecedented internal conflicts and divisions as power struggles threaten to dismantle its leadership and transform a once formidable state into an irreparably fractured entity.

The occupation forces, the cornerstone of Israel’s expansionist ambitions, are faltering under internal disputes. Public spats between Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, and Itamar Ben Gvir reveal a government in chaos.

The Israeli military has effectively transformed the city of Hebron and nearby towns in the southern West Bank into what resembles a “large prison” by severing access with military checkpoints and iron gates, Palestinians told Anadolu.

These measures began after a Palestinian gunman killed three Israelis near Hebron on Sunday and following a double bombing at the Gush Etzion settlement.

The current operation in the West Bank is meant to test the boundaries of what Israel will be allowed to get away with. It is setting the stage for the forced ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Many have already observed that Israel’s need for constant initiative across its numerous battlefields is central to the hyped-up nature of its offensive.

Considered a symbol of Scotland, this is a local highlight we love to visit. It's even worth travelling from Fife to Waverley Station by train just to cross this beauty.

Completed and opened in 1890, this cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

@bethroots Both were taken on the same day in October 2018. We caught the train to cross the Forth Bridge, then walked back across the Forth Road Bridge. I didn’t take anything while on that bridge because it was so windy that we had to concentrate on staying upright.

… apart from some views of the structure of the bridge and this one, which suggests that perhaps we should have delayed the crossing a bit longer

The Israeli army Thursday morning killed six Palestinians, including five in an airstrike on a car near Tubas city in the northern occupied West Bank.

On Aug. 28, the Israeli army launched its largest military operation in the northern West Bank in two decades, causing massive destruction in the area and killing 39 Palestinians so far.
