It’s ‘whack-a-mole’: Alarming rise in pet trade fuels wildlife trafficking into California
In October, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer at California’s Otay Mesa border crossing noticed an odd bulge inside a man’s pants. Jesse Agus Martinez, a U.S. citizen who lives in Tijuana, repeatedly claimed the bump was “pirrin,” a Spanish word for penis. His history of smuggling birds into the U.S. prompted further examination, […]

Content warning: Discussion of rape in Le Guin's fiction

Just finished "Orsinian Tales" by Ursula K Le Guin. It's... good, but not nearly as anarchist as a lot of her other work. These are short fiction stories weaving mostly through a fictional Eastern European country during the cold war, although some stretch farther back into history.
As typical for Le Guin a bunch of male protagonists, and a few parts that might seem to excuse sexual assault, which I've always found an odd thing in Le Guin's work (the rape in "The Dispossessed" bothered me too; the lack of strong female characters in "A Wizard of Earthsea" also sticks out to me). On the other hand, I've read from an interview that she wrote "Earthsea" absolutely knowing her audience (teenage boys) and intentionally writing something that would sell, which speaks to true mastery of her craft (I think the opening of "The Word for World is Forest" demonstrates what an expert can do wielding an intimate understanding of pulp science fiction tropes with intent, for example).
In any case, she writes sublime similes and sparse characters who nevertheless seem to embody deep wisdom about the human condition. I feel that often enough just a few words or sentences in a story bear forth hefty wisdom while around them Le Guin constructs something like an austere painting in muted tones, full of rich details that one can easily miss.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image shows a profile shot of a male actor in what appears to be a scene from a 1970s or early 1980s television production. The actor is wearing a utilitarian, earth-toned costume consisting of a rust or taupe-colored jacket with a collar, suggesting a science fiction or military setting. The lighting and video quality are characteristic of television productions from that era. The actor has dark hair styled in a period-appropriate cut and is gaz…

Mid-IR Light Modulators Enabled by Dynamically Tunable Ultra High-Q Silicon Membrane Metasurfaces
Metasurfaces have emerged as a powerful platform to control free-space light at the subwavelength scale, enabling applications in sensing, lasing, nonlinear optics, and quantum photonics. However, their practical deployment is hindered by two key limitations: a tradeoff between low-Q resonances and weak amplitude contrast, and their predominantly static nature allowing only passive functionalities. These challenges are further aggravated in the application-relevant mid-infrared (mid-IR) range, …

War aus Neugierde auf einer Camper Messe. Der letzte Schrei sind da offenbar Allradgetriebene MB Sprinter, die auf 40 Zentimeter Bodenfreiheit aufgebockt werden und mit riesen Stollenrädern durch die Gegen rumpeln.
Quasi die SUVs unter den den Camper Vans.
Die Kiste brauchen ohne das schon 10-11 Liter, so dann auch mal gerne 12,5 Liter, wie man auf Nachfrage zugab.
Ein Verkäufer resigniert: "Ja, brauchen tun das 98% aller Leute nicht, aber sieht halt geil aus oder so, ich hab aufgegeben."

Eskişehir'de eğitimi getirdikleri nokta. Müdür olmak için hükümetin sendikasından olmak yetince böyle oluyor. Daha önce de bir milli eğitim müdürü tacizci bir müdürü iki okula birden müdür yapmıştı. Görevden alındı ama bakanlığa gitti.
(Burada bir noktayı belirtmekte yarar var. Sonuçta erişkin insan ne izlediği kendisini ilgilendirir. Bu müdür görüntüleri paylaşmış ve bunları birlikte yapabileceği kişilere ulaşmak istiyor.)

Paylaştığı Gay Ve Grup Seks Porno Videoları Okul Müdürlüğünden Etti
Gülay Kanatlı Ortaokulu Müdürü Enes Günay X’te çakma adla açtığı sosyal medya hesabında girdiği platformlarda izlediği grup, lezbiyen, gay, erkekli kadınlı seks videolarına paylaştı. Bu hesapla ilgili ‘Müstehcen yayınların yayınlanmasına aracılık etmek’ suçuyla Afyonkarahisar Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığı bir soruşturma başlattı.

Local divers pick away at Lake Malawi’s underwater garbage problem
CAPE MACLEAR, Malawi — On a clear August morning, three scuba divers disappeared under the waters of Lake Malawi. Above them, serenity: The clear water rippled gently, spick-and-span Cape Maclear Beach was empty of tourists and the shoreline trees stood calm. Half an hour later, having covered an area just 30 meters (100 feet) from […]
