The year’s best meteor shower is overnight — here’s how to see it
Where many other meteor showers are often over-hyped, the Geminids are the real deal: far and away the best shower of the year, peaking on December 14–15 inBYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
We always talk about things that get worse with #Aging - but what about the things that get better? For example I feel that people become more confident and able to make faster decisions, especially about what they like or want to do. Can you think of anything else that improves with aging?

I see a lot of people concerned about #inequality. The only "good" reason to be concerned with it is based on a #fallacy; the fixed pie fallacy, or the idea that the amount of #wealth in the world is fixed.
The entire planet is vastly wealthier than it was a hundred or two hundred years ago. The amount of wealth is not fixed. Therefore, it does not follow that one person being #rich means another must be #poor.
Put another way, #poverty for one is not caused by the wealth of another.

3. "Aber der #Wald ist doch weg!?! Alles abgeholzt, was tust du denn da?" Ist die zweithäufigste Frage, die mir gestellt wird. Nein! Anfang 2023 hat die Polizei in einem überdimensionierten, widerlichen Einsatz die #Fecher Waldbesetzung geräumt und ein Teil! des Waldes wurde gerodet. Der Widerstand hatte Fahrt aufgenommen und sollte gebrochen werden. Besetzis hatten zuvor aber einen streng geschützten #Heldbockkäfer gefilmt, und so steht eine Bauminsel, mitten auf der Trasse, der Autobahn noch im Weg :). Wir nennen sie Käferinsel und seit der Räumung versuchen ein paar übriggebliebene BI- und BesetzungsMenschen Wege zu finden, den Wald zu retten. Die großkopferden, namhaften Gruppen sind, nachdem das Thema politisch ausgeschöpft war, verschwunden. Aber der Wald ist noch da. Und wo #Leben ist, da lohnt sich Einsatz!

The bread pudding is a lot tastier than it looks, but I will try to remember to take a picture of a serving, which is more photogenic than the whole pan.

Chana Freedman, a member of the local Jewish Community, explains that she has heard chants of "Gas the Jews" at pro Palestinian marches and "global intafada" means every jew worldwide should be slaughtered
Intafada is an Arabic word it means "shaking off."
In context, it means uprising
Chana's interview was not helpful
Just as the truth of corruptive processes is found if investigators 'follow the money'
The same would reveal if the organised small mobs who chanted those slogans were followed & identified by their actual allegiances.
I think Hamish suggested the best answer, in this day and age, with mobile phones why are there no recordings of "Gas the jews"

Dementia is often associated with older people, but it doesn't just appear out of nowhere. @ScienceAlert has more, including how early risk factors start and continue throughout much of a person's life:
"Despite the good news, I continue to be deeply alarmed by the attitudes of white Christians generally and white evangelical Protestants in particular. I continue to be struck, as a social scientists, that it has become virtually impossible to write a survey question about immigration policy that is too harsh for white evangelicals to support."
