New Banksy dropped in London.
I thought immediately of Oscar Wilde's "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
Perhaps it is a Christmas reference, to that star that was followed in the famous story.

Close up of new Banksy. It depicts two children lying on the ground, wearing winter clothes. One of them is pointing at something in the sky above them. It is painted on a white wall in Bayswater, England. There is a small bush at their feet, indicating they are outside.

Distance shot of the Banksy. Below the artwork is a 3-unit garage. It is painted on the side of a white-washed industrial building, in poor condition. It is evening and the sky is growing dark. In the distance can be seen the red warning light atop a crane.

In 33 of these nations, a majority believe their country’s economic system needs either “major changes” or “complete reform”. In the UK, a YouGov poll revealed, 75% support a wealth tax on fortunes above £10m, while only 13% oppose it."

Deforestation in the Amazon is causing significant regional changes in climate compared to areas with forest cover above 80%.

The buildings vary in completion, with some showing exposed concrete and window frames. In the foreground, dark silhouettes of trees add depth and contrast. The image conveys a sense of urban expansion and industrial progress, with a gritty, documentary-style tone.

Here’s roughly what I told my US Senators:
“I am a resident of Minneapolis, which for the last 6 weeks has been a kind of hell. I am begging you, begging you, to do everything in your power to •stop funding this hell•.
The Department of Homeland Security has become a dangerous rogue organization. Dangerous! The correct amount of funding for the DHS under its current leadership — yes, you heard me, the •entire• DHS — is zero. ZERO.
I consider every dollar above that to be a concession. Fight.”

Amazon rainforest flipped to carbon source during 2023 extreme drought, study shows
The Amazon rainforest is of crucial importance to the Earth's ecosystem, given its capacity to store substantial amounts of carbon in its vegetation. In 2023, the region experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching 1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average, accompanied by unusual levels of atmospheric dryness from September to November. These conditions were caused by warmer water temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that resulted in diminished moisture transport from the Atlantic to…

I’m not seeing this pattern anymore; the sharp boundaries no longer show up where you look at where ICE is hurting people. It now has more of the feeling you’d expect it to have if they were targeting people based on race, instead of based on political boundaries.
