A century of glaciers melting, condensed into a few seconds. Impressive video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQWfDRejcPw/?igsh=Zm51d2Qzb2xtNHM4

Michel Galati on Instagram: "A century of change condensed into a few seconds. In collaboration with @glacionaut I transformed historical and contemporary photographs of Swiss and Austrian glaciers into short AI-animated sequences (Dream Machine by @lumalabsai ). Each clip shows the passage from past to present. The climate has always changed, true, but never this fast. In the past two years alone, Swiss glaciers have lost more than 10% of their total volume (source: Swiss Academy of Sciences). What once took centuries now happens in decades. And yes, the music is The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. An homage to nature, and perhaps a reminder of what we stand to lose. 📍 Photos: @glacionaut 🎥 AI Animation: @flashologo 🗓️ Period: ca. 1875–2024 • 🇮🇹 Un secolo di cambiamento racchiuso in pochi secondi. In collaborazione con @glacionaut, ho trasformato fotografie storiche e contemporanee di alcuni ghiacciai svizzeri e austriaci in brevi sequenze animate con l’intelligenza artificiale (Dream Machine di @lumalabsai). Ogni clip mostra il passaggio dal passato al presente. Il clima è sempre cambiato, è vero, ma mai così rapidamente. Negli ultimi due anni i ghiacciai svizzeri hanno perso oltre il 10% del loro volume (fonte: Swiss Academy of Sciences). Ciò che un tempo accadeva in secoli, oggi avviene in decenni. E sì, la musica è Le Quattro Stagioni di Vivaldi. Un omaggio alla natura e, forse, un promemoria di ciò che rischiamo di perdere. 📍 Foto: @glacionaut 🎥 Animazioni AI: @flashologo 🗓️ Periodo: ca. 1875–2024 • • #ai #dreammachine #ray3 #imagetovideo #glaciers #switzerland #austria #climatchange #history"

the report said.
“But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January."

while you are at Dublin mayors, maybe you could ask car drivers to turn on their lights as required by law in Ireland :-) ?!?! During my super brief time in Dublin in 2024 I saw a lot of cars with their lights off during a dark rainy afternoon.

What a $10M bribe rumor says about Trump, Middle East peace, and America’s fall
The thing about being a 79-year-old president is that sometimes you just blurt stuff out, with no filter as to whether your words might be embarrassing, undiplomatic — or potentially incriminating.
Consider the case of Donald John Trump, the 47th U.S. president and the oldest one on the day of his election. Last week, in what may prove to be a fleeting moment of triumph as Trump celebrated a Gaza peac…

Plus, an inside look at who really went to “No Kings.”

On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent the Israeli stock market into a fall by doing what he so often does: saying the quiet part out loud. 
The market rebounded, as it always does from these sorts of brief panics.
But Netanyahu and Israel in general are finally being forced to grapple with some of the real, long-term consequences of their actions. 
Netanyahu told a group of American and Israeli business people at the
“Fifty States, One Israel” confer…

As Israel faces increasing international isolation, BDS becomes more crucial than ever
Benjamin Netanyahu walked back claims about Israel’s international isolation after causing a stock market crash, but he was right - the Gaza genocide has severely hurt Israel’s standing. We must deepen this isolation through boycotts and sanctions.
