I believe that the difference between world peace and constant warring is simply consent. Humans are very, very bad at consent. I would say men are especially bad at it. This might be where we really need to improve the most.

For example, Minnesota sends out the absentee ballots on 9/18, but in-person early voting doesn't start until 10/16. I think we may need a chart that highlights this slight difference. I have yet to see one that shows this info. Check with your state's SOS for the best info. #midterms #mn #voting

Rule of Thirds @jaseoth.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Some of the charts that show #earlyvoting dates for the #midterms can be a little off. Often they will list the date that absentee ballots are sent out as the start of early voting, which is correct, of course, but this is different than in-person early voting, which may start at a different time.

Wow! Nice find. I think it's super important whether a candidate considers the plight of Ukraine an existential threat or not. It's like a cognitive test. Understanding that Ukraine is literally holding the wall of liberal democracy is kind of important.

I identify a lot with left leaning policies, but my god, when they drop this garbage, it really turns people away from their cause. If you don't know anything about geopolitics or foreign policy, probably better to not say anything at all. Not a good look DSA.

Yuza, Yamagata, Japan. Photography by Morikei on 500px.

Photographer Morikei captures the primordial, sacred ambience of Yuza Town in Yamagata Prefecture, where icy subterranean springs fed by Mount Chokai surge through ancient, moss-draped cedar forests. Framed at the foot of one of Tohoku's most revered volcanic peaks, the composition transforms an alpine stream into a painterly study of light, water, and shadow.

Photographic & Landscape Elements

The Flowing Waters of Mount Chokai: Yuza is famous for its crystal-clear spring-fed rivers (such as the Ushiwata River and Dohira Falls), where mineral-rich snowmelt filters through decades of volcanic rock before emerging into shaded forest basins. The photographer uses a long shutter speed to render the rushing water as a silky, luminous current.

Emerald Moss & Volcanic Boulders: Dense blankets of velvet-green moss (koke) cling to the dark, water-worn rocks, creating vibrant, high-contrast islands against the deep purples and grays of the churning stream.

Atmospheric Backlighting: Sunbeams pierce the upper canopy of towering Japanese cedars (sugi), illuminating a soft morning mist rising off the ice-cold water. The silhouetted branches and atmospheric haze layer the background with extraordinary spatial depth.

Embodying the spirit of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) and the sacred reverence for pure water (meisui) in Japanese nature worship, Morikei’s image distills the quiet, untamed majesty of Yamagata's rural landscape.
