Missed the first peak of tonight's show because I was busy showing my wife from the front steps and didn't get my camera set up, lol.
Got a few nice shots from the park before it slowed down too much but got cold and didn't want to be out too late. If it picks up again I might pop outside.

Content warning: Disturbing details of ICE brutality

Meanwhile, we’re getting some really disturbing reports in neighborhood chats of ICE dumping injured detainees in parks. We no idea what the hell ICE is doing. This has happened in multiple parks on multiple days in different parts of the city: two confirmed, multiple others who may be part of the pattern. One of them had a fractured skull.

Just slowly losing my mind over here.. (also way behind on work)

Snow will begin light with slightly above-freezing temperatures, so accumulations through Sunday afternoon will be relatively small. The heaviest snow will happen after sunset Sunday and continue into early Monday morning before it begins to taper off.

Amazon deforestation raises surface temperature by 3°C during dry season, satellite data show
Deforestation in the Amazon is causing significant regional changes in climate compared to areas with forest cover above 80%. The loss of vegetation leads to an increase in surface temperature, a decrease in evapotranspiration, and a reduction in precipitation during the dry season and in the number of rainy days.

It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

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…

Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns
Lockdowns at U.S. bases and a global security alert underscore concerns that Iranian retaliation could extend to officials on American soil.

Update on the thread above:
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. Whatever pattern I was noticing above, real or imagined, it doesn’t hold now.

Thoughts? Anything I should change before I start working on adding this sort of feedback to more filter blocks?
