🎤 Our coverage of Sámi Grand Prix continues, as Kittens was able to chat with 2024 and 2025 winners Piera Eira and Cïlja! Are you excited to see who will win #SámiGrandPrix 2026? #SGP

Kartoitukset eivät vielä näin vuosin ota onnistuakseen, mutta pakkohan se on silti metsään päästä.

Deux rues attenantes du 11eme végétalisées, Rue Camille Crespin et Rue Victor Gelez. Avant c’était du stationnement auto.

Always an exciting moment when we see les grues (the cranes) flying north over our part of France… a sign that spring is on the way.

Schnee ist die Poesie des Winters, die der Himmel auf die Erde schreibt. Unbekannt

I could recognize the noises of Paris metro everywhere. I quite like the color of these seats. #everydaybeauty #paris #metro #ratp

I like how Ilkka Suppanen plays with reflections and light. His expo opened in Paris at Galerie Maria Wettergren. #sculptureart #glassart #paris #design

Noticing a quiet shift: increasing nr of people choosing paper books over screens, and leather shoes over synthetics/sneakers. #paris #metro #booksky

Aurora over Berlin right now

#Aurora #NorthernLights #Ireland #Wicklow #SpeirGorm

Absolute scenes! The #aurora has gone crazy this evening here in Wales with vivid green and red visible to the naked eye. And don’t get me started on this beam which shot overhead for no more than 20 seconds. #astrophotography #photography #northernLights

Si vous avez un appareil photo, faites des photos longue pose vers le nord... Il y a des aurores boréales ! (Encore faibles, mais elles ont été observées en France)

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

James Hansen, a climate scientist who shook Washington when he told Congress 33 years ago that human emissions of greenhouse gases were cooking the planet, is now warning that he expects the rate of global warming to double in the next 20 years. insideclimatenews.org/news/1509202...

The biggest problem in the world isn’t climate change, future pandemics, or democratic collapse. It’s that far too many of our most brilliant minds are working on *everything but* those problems. 🧵

There is only one way to read,which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you,skipping the parts that drag and never,never reading anything because you feel you ought,or because it is part of a trend or a movement

Everyday beauty (Bruges edition)

another small addition, but here is a little service that will give you both the text from an image and generate a perceptual hash (using Facebook's PDQ algorithm) of a given image. more to come, will also be adding the storage of flagged images and the matching of flagged images w/ osprey

RIP Jane Goodall. Tu as été une brillante scientifique, qui a pu montrer que les sciences c'était aussi pour les femmes!

We have highlighted the critical role of ‘amateur’ volunteer weather observers whose dedicated observations made over decades for altruistic reasons are so invaluable to us now. There are still many volunteer observers taking daily climate observations today. Thank you to every one of these people.

Une végétalisation qui ici a bien pris, photo de 2025 à comparer avec le début en 2019.

Tonight's walk home.

The Daily Rothno is In The Gutter on the walk home Friday night

Summer is trying to stay a little longer #Shetland

I like this view and light in the evening. This church and buildings around it are well known by French but a little bit hidden from tourists. Val de Grace was built by order of Queen Anne of Austria in gratitude for the birth of her son, the future Louis XIV. #paris #history #JEP2025

The Daily Rothno is a view across waste ground at Addenbrooke's

Style lessons from Robert Redford, one of the most stylish men in the last century. 🧵

Notre ville change ! Nos rues sont peu à peu rendues aux habitants, de nouveaux arbres sont plantés et les promenades facilitées et sécurisées. C'est le cas de la rue Chaptal dans le 9e ou celle du Docteur-Lecène dans le 13e !

August 31st marks 28 years since Princess Diana’s passing. I arrived in Paris day before. These photos were taken 8 years ago at Pont de l’Alma, where I was struck by the way strangers held one another in shared grief. Diana would have been a wonderful grandmother. #princessDiana #paris

🍂 Nous ne sommes que mi-août, mais que de feuilles d'abres tombées par terre à Paris ! 🥵 La faute aux températures caniculaires de ces derniers jours et aux faibles précipitations depuis le début du mois d'août. 🌳 Les arbres non plus n'aiment pas les fortes chaleurs...

I found couple of Ssignhere.Art mirror paintings yesterday. They are known for playful, pop-culture-inspired street installations. Here is Ralph from #Simpsons . #streetart #paris #mirrorpainting #art #comics

Somewhere out there Ozzy is being reborn today, so expectant parents-do whatever you wish with that information lol

It's what you would expect, but first scientific evidence emerging: If students write an essay with the help of an LLM, their brains get less stimulated, hence less cognitive development. Students take note! www.brainonllm.com

Every country is warming. Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions, personally & collectively.
