Donald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“If any ordinary person filed as many frivolous multibillion-dollar lawsuits as Donald Trump, they’d be sanctioned and placed on a restricted filers list.
By my count, Trump has demanded at least $65 billion in damages from media outlets i…

Trump’s BBC lawsuit is nonsense, like his others
His frivolous damages theory concedes that Trump views the presidency as a for-profit venture

Welp, after a day or two of fermentation and a few hours preparing the accompaniments, like the potato filling, the 'gunpowder' to sprinkle over it, and both tomato and coconut chutneys (all made from scratch, even involving cracking a fresh coconut!), I've made my first ever dosas. I'm quite chuffed by the result. It's a lot of work for a one-off...

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic formation often seen on television or films that can be over 100 m high. The white colour is chalk "biomicrite" formed by the compacted deposits from dense blooms of Coccolithophore phytoplankton covered with distinct plates of calcite (coccoliths) in a shallow sea during the Late Cretaceous. The dark bands of fli…

CineStill 800T (FF) A nighttime scene showing a glowing green neon sign viewed through a window. The sign reads “THE MUSIC STREET,” but the letters appear reversed because they are seen from behind the glass. The neon light reflects strongly on the surface, creating a bright green haze. Behind the sign, faint outlines of plants and a building with lit windows are visible, giving the scene an urban, atmospheric feeling.

Ever notice how you're watching your own life from a slight distance?
Not depressed. Not burned out. Just... slightly absent.
When overwhelm lasts longer than we can process it, we adapt by feeling less. We function but don't fully inhabit our days.
The long dissociation kept us safe when feeling everything wasn't possible.
But survival was never the same thing as being alive.
What would it mean to gently come back?

The Long Dissociation and the Cost of Nonchalance: Why We Feel Numb, Detached, and Distant
An essay on how prolonged overwhelm teaches us to care less—and how we gently relearn presence, desire, and participation in our own lives.

Two students in falling snow at night in the courtyard between Gates Hall and the new CIS building
#photo #photography #portrait

Two men in a field of falling snowflakes on a sidewalk that vanishes towards the left end of the frame with a big concrete structure behind him and white snowy ground behind and to their light individual lights and light coming through windows at the top of the frame. On the left a taller student wearing a mustard yellow jacket with moderately short hair and a grey strap across his torso and on the right a shorter student wearing a hat and a fark green jacket, both smiling.
