When #Putin's "blitzkrieg" failed in 2022, #Russia's decline began 🚀 The Kremlin's losing influence as allies' regimes collapse: #Assad fled, #Iran's struggling, Armenia eyes the EU, & Transnistria is out of resources Putin's grip is slipping—inside and out ✊ #StandWithUkraine #MakeRussiaSmallAgain

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Alstroemeria, commonly known as Peruvian lily or Inca lily, is a vibrant and long-lasting flower available in various colors except blue and green. These flowers are native to South America and were introduced to Europe by Swedish botanist Baron Von Alströmer in the 18th century.

Our camera traps often reveal surprises. Below is a partial view of a large Arctic hare group attracted by seeds. A helicopter pilot once told me he saw a group so large that 'the mountain seemed to move'. I believe it! Photo: Reconyx camera, Alert, Nunavut (Canada).🌿
