  • Interesting. Are you using an iphone? It won't let me take pictures without an account on Andoid. But may as well create one if it is free

  • Auschwitz concentration camp
  • Like a place where you learn how to concentrate?

    Hilarious but also so wrong!

  • Auschwitz concentration camp
  • What i find amazing is the sheer size of it. The picture is pretty large so you can zoom in and see actual visitors there. They are tiny compared to the suroundings

    That seems to fix it every time

    I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands
  • Its fair but looking through the discussions here it seems like mostly people discussing the efficiency of demonstrations and supporting each other on it being the right thing to do (and a few dis agreeing on that too). But it seems like the point of the discussion is not the environmental crisis but the demonstration and vandalism

    I dont see many becoming convinced or becoming aware about the environmental crisis, who were not already aware.

  • I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands
  • But this is the point. Conversations will do it, activists like this won't. I don't think its obvious or even feasible, that many or any will change their mind about emissions based on these activists vandalizing planes.

    I do support the cause, but I don't understand the means

  • Flying on a budget
  • Did you say Hold the door?

  • Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges
  • 'Begs' sounds like a strong word comparing to the actual content of the article

  • Activists doing things activists like to see, won't motivate many others than the people who already are motivated.

  • It's been a hot minute!
  • They were not that bad really. Sure i just wanted them over with to get to the good stuff but there were some good episode's in TAS too

  • I also used to support the 'Sons of Liberty' until they destroyed all those tea merchants' private property
  • Wait.. so we can''t even sell "God bless the USA" bibles for $60?

  • Murasaki Golf Course, Japan

    If there is one thing that I keep noticing, when I look for cool places from above, it is golf courses! There are so many, and they are everywhere! This one is Murasaki Golf Club, with 27 holes, and 108 par.

    The largest golf course I could find, is Mission Hill Resort in Shenzhen China. It has 12 courses, with 18 holes. 216 holes in total. Id does, IMO not look quite as good as the one from Murasaki

    Laura Garcia-Caro loses bronze metal by celebrating too early
    www.svt.se Video: Laura Garcia-Caro omspurtad av Lyudmila Olyanovska med en meter kvar

    Laura Garcia-Caro var på väg mot brons i 20 kilometer gång – och hade till och med börjat fira med en flagga. Då la Lyudmila Olyanovska in en spurt och gick förbi en meter från mållinjen. – Snacka om att ta ut medaljen i förskott, säger SVT:s expert Alhaji Jeng.

    I saw this picture in an article about Panama preparing to evacuate first island in face of rising sea levels.

    The article has many great pictures from the location, as well as some depressing one, like the homes ready to take in the inhabitants:

    Originally built in 400BC, and expanded in 144 AD to have a capacity of 50.000 seats! It hosted the first modern Olympics, in 1896 as well as a venue at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
