A continuing military investigation has determined that the U.S. is responsible for a strike that hit an elementary school in Iran, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings. Listen to "The Daily."

America has reached a place where: power communicates through images politics circulates as narrative truth competes with other truths rather than defeating them. Not because people are uniquely dishonest. But because the media environment itself produces this condition.

Europe has historical depth - traditions, class memory, revolutions, old institutions. US is a culture built entirely in the present. “The only remaining primitive society… the primitive society of the future.” US has no historical continuity is built on signs, images, and mobility. Baudrillard

Feeding the Chinese people is an imporatnt job, just down the road are the #green fieelds full of vegetables. As one drives past on the electro bike the different smells add another variable to the experience, the pungent onion, the floral rape seed oil, the turned earth #ColoraDay #GreenSat #scape

Saturday, time for some Malian music to brighten the day. I travelled on my own to the Malian border through Gambia but on advice at the time didn't cross, because it was dangerous. Back through Senegal to Banjul by bush taxi. Gotta love the #music youtu.be/2sBqMBEehIs?...

From the coffee shop by the apartments - Friday afternoon after teaching - oat milk cappuccino and the mountains that a day or two ago were shrouded in mist and cloud and rain. #scape #mountans #china

The mountains I see everyday. Notice how they look like a woman reclining in a bubble bath created by the low cloud/mist #scape #coloraday #BWFri #Photography #Photographer

YouTube is now becoming nearly unwatchable becuz of Ads and in particular the ads that sit there with the wheel spinning going nowhere I know they are forcing me into it But is it worth buying the subscription? I use YT a lot for pleasure and teaching Advice please. #Youtube

Watching the missiles rain down across the Middle East I have a terrible feeling that someone (Israel) will just say Fuck It and press that RED button and turn the Middle East and parts of the US into nuclear glass (Trinitite) #Music War? What is it good for? - Absolutly 0 youtu.be/wJLokS0H-ZQ?...

“Cognitive psychology has shown that students grow intellectually through doing the work of drafting, revising, failing, trying again, grappling with confusion, and revising weak arguments. This is the work of learning how to learn” phys.org/news/2026-02...
