The camera club I am part of went to Hanbury Hall this morning. It was foggy and damp, but didn't rain. This is a view of the house through the mist.

"A NASA spacecraft has made history by surviving the closest-ever approach to the Sun."

@BBCNews reports: "Scientists received a signal from the Parker Solar Probe just before midnight EST on Thursday after it had been out of communication for several days during its burning-hot fly-by."

One of the reasons California is the 4th largest economy in the world is that we are an immigration friendly state, part of a giant single market and customs union, and we like “expertise”.

Immigrants who are feeling threatened in red states should come fill job openings in #California.

Analysis: Dozens of interviews with Israeli & US military confirm that, for every single Hamas fighter targeted, Israel "allowed" up to 20 civilians to be killed.

However, +972 magazine had revealed that the Israeli army had, on several occasions, "authorised the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander”.

Humanity is in dire need of a new operating system that rejects the old definitions of success. We need cooperation over competition; shared ownership over new monopolies; true openness over "let's just hold on to this bit of secret sauce to make money".

The reason that people with power or a stake in "the way things are" tend to dismiss the fediverse (a bunch of hobbyists! can't scale! no business model!) is the precise reason to embrace it fully and wholeheartedly.

We can imagine a world where every news organization has a fediverse server just like they have a webserver; where governments communicate through open protocols with the people who put them in power; where new kinds of cooperatives will arise naturally because the infrastructure is _built_ for cooperation.

The fediverse is not a bunch of magic beans; it's built by people, after all. But it's much more fertile ground for the imagination than any other experiment in social media.

Personally, I feel that Wikipedia doesn’t need more money right now.

A local food bank?

The Internet Archive?

Developers of Free/open source software that you use?

Independent artists, musicians, and writers, whose creations you enjoy?

I reckon there far more “bang for your buck” in donating to them.
