A rare and beautiful moment. A Piper Super Cub returns to the nest to feed her young. In only a few weeks, the Piper hatchlings will be ready to take their first flight. Nature is amazing.

So they're talking about re-opening the Appleton MN private prison, as an ICE detention facility. Well of course Minnesota would have the nation's largest ICE house.

when the AI datacentres are done with their cooling water, they pump it off the edge of the earth. it's cheaper to get rid of it that way, rather than shipping it back to the water factories. it looks like this:

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a…) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

Two photos. In the first, deep in a conifer forest a man in winter clothes holds a reindeer and sprays something from an aerosol can on the antlers.

The second photo is of a small town street in the dead of night. Little shops and dim street lights. A deer stands in the middle of the road. It's barely visible, just a feint silhouette. But, its eyes and antlers glow like something ancient and supernatural.
