"The Conservative leadership candidates also come off as #weird, for their obsessive focus on things no one else is talking about: leaving the European convention on human rights; a cap on migrants (and whose cap is the lowest); the scourge of woke." - theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

On vacation in northeastern Minnesota, and this Red-eyed Vireo gave me a look. The bird foraged small insects from this Mountain Ash tree for several minutes.

A Red-eyed Vireo is perched on a branch of a Mountain Ash tree, atop a clump of red Mountain Ash berries; two berries are just beyond the bird’s beak.

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.

Photograph up close of several small shiny black ants walking armong plump yellow aphids clustered along the veins at the base of a fern leaflet.

Long-billed curlew takes a stroll
A shorebird with long legs and a long, slender beak is walking along a sandy beach. Its plumage is a mix of browns and tans, and there are small pebbles and seaweed in the background.

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.

The Verge’s smart home reporter Jennifer Pattison Tuohy is on the ground at the IFA tech show.

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes

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.

#IsraelWarCrimes

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.

#Office is now #Microsoft365.
the urls are still office.com, but you might also end up on live.com. if you’re clever microsoft365.com also works.

the login is obviously through microsoftonline.com, sometimes device.login.microsoftonline.com.

if you create a link you might also visit sharepoint.com, which is different but quite the same.

if you want your emails, that would be outlook.office.com, even though office is now microsoft 365.

and now explain a user to detect a #phishing website. 👀

Tweet from Luke Weston: There are two kinds of people at Microsoft. The guy who found that SSH was taking a few extra milliseconds to connect and was insistent on knowing why. And the person who has decided the Microsoft Mac RDP client will be rebranded to "Windows App"

#IsraelWarCrimes

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.

Grand Ol' Lady

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.

A photo of a landscape dominated by a bridge. The foreground is a black jetty with mooring posts at the water's edge. A wide expanse of river leads to the opposite shore where buildings are visible. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds, looking more solid in the distance. The bridge itself is a line of four brick pillars nearer the shore which carry a long red-painted framework of girders. Following those is a larger pier. In the centre are three great arches constructed from a metal lattice. The far end of the bridge isn't clear, but is actually a repeat of the near side in reverse. It's impressive, and substantial.

@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
@SilverRainbow @photography
A view along the Forth Road Bridge from the Northern end. The top half of the picture is dark, almost uniform cloud, the foreground is walkway, fences and the first minor bridge stays. Further away the nearest column for the bridge suspension can be seen. There is a figure almost in silhouette facing away from the viewer. Immediately to her right the a dark column of a small tornado.
