Reinhold Messner's moving message about the recent death of Nirmal Purja and ten others:
What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard.
I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away.
And yet l also know that, for some, …

Reinhold Messner on Instagram: "It’s a kind gesture, and everyone grieves and remembers in their own way. What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard. I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away. And yet I also know that, for some, there is a quiet comfort in knowing they were in the place they loved most, doing what gave their life meaning. My thoughts are with all the families, friends, and everyone who loved them. Pls remember a human being is never an object. A life is measured by presence, not by tributes. #thinking #memories #"

AeS has better policy positions, HS has a solid legislative record. They BOTH have style issues. This is why I was for McMorrow (good policy & legislative chops) but that was not to be.
The fact that there’s such a breadth of Fash trying to stop AeS is telling. They don’t want him compared to Mike Rogers, the most boring establishment candidate alive.
HS’s style — careful, wooden, scripted, centrist — makes her a shit opponent for Rogers. @…

It is incredibly annoying to see so much obvious organized *international* tooting/skeeting in the Michigan Democratic Party primary for the US Senate. Especially since most of it seems to be aimed at making them both look bad. Like a German I saw on the Fediverse concern-trolling polls…

Yep, if you look at the archive copy of the now-retracted @npr.org story in @waybackmachine.bsky.social, "Justice Samuel Alito, seen here in April 2021, retired Friday" appeared as both the alt image tag and image caption, though the lede text said "the court announced Tuesday."

The top sharps on Kalshi and Polymarket are in near-constant contact,
in Discord servers and Slack channels and DMs on X,
sharing information, coordinating their trades — and shooting the breeze.
Domer has an exclusive Slack channel called SAPI, which has been a reliable place for sharps to pool intelligence since 2016.
In another chat room, a trader named @Scar found the 2025 Time magazine Person of the Year cover buried online before it was supposed to go live,

Bears QBs coach J.T. Barrett wants Caleb Williams to 'do less': 'Take what the defense is giving'
Caleb Williams emerged in 2025 as a superhero of sorts for the Chicago Bears, but his quarterbacks coach is hoping he plays consistently enough moving forward to occasionally take off the cape late in games.

The text in the screenshot is exactly what the Hebrew scripture “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is warning against. People think of that text as an endorsement of revenge, but it’s not; it is a •limit• on retribution. It says that the magnitude of punishment must not exceed the magnitude of the crime.

Winners of the 2025 Close-Up Photographer of the Year #nature #photography

Emerald Glow. 3rd Place, Young. A Cuban tree frog in the photographer’s backyard in Florida. Hawkins-Kimmel: “During the heat of the day, I uncovered this Cuban tree frog hiding in the leaf of a banana tree in my backyard. The frog was very calm and allowed me to slip a flashlight under the leaf to create this effect. My 100mm lens ensured that I didn’t need to get too close, so as not to stress out the frog.”
In the Crowd. Finalist, Young. A group of flamingos in Camargue, France. Godin: “It was the courtship season for flamingos. They were constantly lowering and raising their heads. I had this photo in mind and wanted one flamingo to be sharp in the middle of other blurred flamingos. So I concentrated on one particular flamingo and followed it with my eyes, only pressing the shutter button when it was surrounded by several other flamingo heads.”
Inside the Pack. 2nd Place, Animals. Arctic wolves on the sea ice in a frozen fjord on Ellesmere Island, Canada. Eshel: “Lying on the sea ice of a frozen fjord, I experienced a moment of pure magic when a pack of Arctic wolves approached me out of sheer curiosity. They came so close I could feel their breath, yet I never sensed aggression, only wonder. These wolves, unlike others, have never been hunted or threatened by humans. In the remote wilderness of northern Ellesmere Island, they have no…
Spider Web. 3rd Place, Animals. A Eurasian beaver approaches a spider’s web in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary. Máté: “Years ago, I managed to intervene at the last minute to stop the water department from clear-cutting trees along a 2km stretch of canal. Since then, we’ve worked together. I monitor and notify them of any trees obstructing water traffic, while they avoid unnecessary clear-cutting, preserving a thriving habitat. Beavers returned to this area in 2015, nearly two centuries after …

amusingly, my very 1st rock show in 1986 included both the monkees (nesmith-less) & herman's hermits (noone-less), though they did not jam a 20-minute i heard you looking > spiders. fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app
