Video Authentically Shows 'Biggest Turtle in World' Shuffling Along Beach?
The footage, recorded from a low angle to make the turtle look bigger, showed the animal slowly shuffling along a beach.
De smerigste/schoonste lucht van #Nederland
Iedere dag ademen we vervuilde lucht in. Maar is er in Nederland dan nog wel schone lucht te vinden? In deze video zoeken we naar de meest én minst vervuilde lucht van Nederland. We leggen uit hoe vervuilende stoffen in de lucht terechtkomen en hoe het met de rest van de wereld zit.
It's All in The Feet
It is amazing just how small the feet of the ruby throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) are. These little birds are gone from here now, undoubtably headed south over the Gulf of Mexico. These little birds make the trip individually, it is quite a feat, isn't it?
"The extremely short legs of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird prevent it from walking or hopping. The best it can do is shuffle along a perch. Nevertheless, it scratches its head and neck by raising its foot up and over its wing. " - allaboutbirds.org

"For months, billionaire and X owner Elon Musk has used his platform to share election conspiracy theories that could undermine faith in the outcome of the 2024 election. Last week, the political action committee (PAC) Musk backs took it a step further, launching a group on X called the Election Integrity Community."

Want to kill some fascists?
Play them this album.

Read some #Arrabal & listen to an antifascist collaborative creative commons audio collage album, "This Cassette Kills Fascists" #TCKF

You can let me know If anyone ever wants a copy, not on soundcloud.
I plan to release the original artist tracks & all of the bits and bobs, so that people can remix it themselves. #TCKF
This is cool and I want it. Completely #FOSS #AR glasses. You can control it via sending #Lua over Bluetooth (e.g. from a mobile phone). They provide a high level #Flutter app and API. It has a camera. You control it via speech (can stream voice over Bluetooth).
How cool would it be to see little #MapLibre generated 640x400 bitmaps while walking through a city?

> It just died. I've used the same email address for 30 years, same twitter for 17
this But, excuse me, but it's an optical illusion: in fact, seventeen years ago, email providers all had a clear business model, based on the drainage of personal data.
Those that existed 17 years ago were also almost all linked to giant corporate conglomerates...
If you had started using webmail services in the nineties, you would have realized that most of the webmail service providers active in that period no longer exist.
(PS: however, my previous post has a translation error that compromised its meaning: I did not mean to suggest the closure of BlueSky, but simply the possibility that it could become a non-open platform)

"[Trump] is trying to bring more manufacturing back in the United States - he's trying to combat unfair trade practices," says Former Deputy NEC Director Clete Willems. "You've got to put it in the context that most of the rest of the world has higher tariffs than we do."

Really neat that it's a thing and how (depending on the app) it gives tips on how to prevent it!

"Trump’s comments to right-wing media figure Tucker Carlson last night at an event in Glendale, Arizona, about former representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), coming as they have after the extraordinary racism and sexism of Trump’s Sunday event at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, have have highlighted the centrality of the campaign's attack on women."

Why is anyone drawn to this disgusting maggot?
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism so I understand cults and brainwashing to some degree, but this lying manipulative pus bag, and people like him, have always pissed me off. I see them from a mile away. And yet I am baffled why anyone gets sucked in.
The mistake comes amid skepticism of voting systems, even though U.S. election nationwide remain fair and reliable
