Photojournalist Kostiantyn Liberov writes on his Instagram about yet another evacuation of people affected by Russian aggression - this time from Kostiantynivka:

“Kostiantynivka. All roads into the city are controlled by enemy drones.

The dome of the Pantheon in Rome - still one of the largest domes in the world. Originally built by Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - AD 14), it was rebuilt during the reign of Hadrian (117 to 138 AD) following a fire. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #Pantheon #Rome

Very cool. Looks like a really uncomfortable footstool though

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

I love this trail-cam video footage of BEY03F, the first wolf in Los Angeles County in a century

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash Flock off

Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.

States Weigh Bills to Allow You to Make Your Own Electricity

Call your state representative today and politely demand they pass a balcony solar law like Utah’s. Just plug it into your outdoor outlet and start saving $$ immediately. No permits or electrical work required. Millions have already done it in Germany, proving it is safe and effective.

This is far from the first time @weratedogs.com has provided crucial context on issues seemingly (but not actually) disconnected from 12/10 dogs. Also, as someone actively involved in local lost dog rescues, I recommend hiring a trained and licensed person with a drone to help find your lost pup.

Excerpt from the article in aljazeera: “Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermo-baric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius (6,332 degrees Fahrenheit).”

From the Wikipedia page on Pyroclastic Flows: “ A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud) is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 kmph (30 m/s; 60 mph; 90 ft/s) but is capable of reaching speeds up to 700 km/h (90m/s; 430 mph 640 ft/s). The gases and tephra can reach temperatures of about 1000 C (1800 F).

No wonder they “just evaporated” these weapons exceed pyroclastic flow levels of temperatures

Hazel says “Hi”. She broke a toe chasing rabbits and would totally do it again if she had the chance.

A worried looking Meth Lab sits behind the wheel of a large automobile. She may have just realized that she can’t reach the pedals, and has no license to drive.

I miss having a dog, too. This was Butterscotch. She often sat in my seat in the truck, so one day I told her “okay- you drive!” She was a little… concerned about this change of events. 🤣

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:
