A Cedar Waxwing with a warm brown and yellow body, brownish-gray wings and tail with a yellow tip, a black mask around its eyes and a crest on its head. It was eating an orange dragonfly it had just caught and was sitting on a reddish-brown branch surrounded by green leaves lit up by the early morning sunlight. Seen in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

A pretty Cedar Waxwing with a beak stuffed with the wings and body of a dragonfly it had caught and was gulping down for breakfast 😮😋

Norfolk, Massachusetts (June 2025)

Netanyahu e primeira-dama voam para Assembleia Geral da ONU vestindo as cores da bandeira palestina Em viagem nesta quinta-feira para a Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas, em Nova York, nos EUA, onde promete se opor ao reconhecimento do Estado palestino, o premier de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, e sua mulher, Sara, passaram outro tom no embarque — ao menos na escolha do figurino. O casal vestia verde, branco e vermelho, cores presentes na bandeira palestina, que saltavam aos olhares mais atentos, mesmo eles estando envoltos a um "arsenal" de representações israelenses. Além disso, o percurso para a conferência da ONU foi marcado por um desvio de rota inédito, que evitou sobrevoar o território francês. Contexto: Netanyahu usará discurso na ONU para condenar líderes internacionais que reconheceram a Palestina Guga Chacra: Da al-Qaeda ao plenário da ONU Antes da decolagem, Netanyahu declarou que sua missão era a de "contar a verdade" ao mundo e condenar os líderes mundiais favoráveis a criação de uma nação para os povos palestinos: “Na ONU e em Washington, vou contar a nossa verdade – a dos cidadãos de Israel, a dos soldados das Forças de Defesa de Israel, a do nosso Estado”, prometeu ele em uma publicação no X. “Vou condenar os líderes que, em vez de condenarem os assassinos, estupradores e incendiários de crianças, querem dar-lhes um Estado no coração de Israel. Isso não vai acontecer.” Initial plugin text Desvio de rota O avião do governo israelense, conhecido como "Wings of Zion" e usado pelo primeiro-ministro em viagens oficiais, mudou pela primeira vez sua rota para os Estados Unidos, evitando o espaço aéreo de países europeus e acrescentando mais de 600 km ao trajeto habitual. Em seus seis voos anteriores para os EUA, a aeronave havia sobrevoado Grécia, Itália e França. Nesta, que inclui a cúpula das Nações Unidas e um encontro com o presidente Donald Trump, o avião seguiu pelo Mar Mediterrâneo, passando ao sul da Espanha e em direção ao Estreito de Gibraltar. O motivo do desvio ainda é desconhecido. Segundo um diplomata francês, em entrevista ao Haaretz, a França autorizou o pedido de Israel para sobrevoar seu território, mas desconhece a razão da escolha da rota alternativa. Há duas semanas, o canal israelense i24 informou que menos passageiros, entre funcionários e jornalistas, seriam permitidos a bordo, reduzindo o peso total da aeronave para permitir o voo pela Europa. 'Grave traição à diplomacia': Presidente do Irã denuncia ataques de Israel e EUA durante Assembleia Geral da ONU Em novembro do ano passado, o Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI), em Haia, emitiu mandados de prisão contra Netanyahu e o ex-ministro da Defesa Yoav Gallant por crimes contra a humanidade — a primeira vez que mandados internacionais foram expedidos para altos funcionários de Israel. Os mandados obrigam os 124 Estados-membros do TPI a prender e extraditar Netanyahu e Gallant caso entrem em seus territórios. Em abril, o TPI exigiu explicações da Hungria sobre a não execução do mandado contra Netanyahu durante sua visita ao país. O tribunal afirmou que a Hungria descumpriu sua obrigação, prevista no Estatuto de Roma, de prender o primeiro-ministro ao desembarcar em Budapeste. Em resposta, o chefe de gabinete do premiê Viktor Orbán anunciou que a Hungria decidiu se retirar do TPI.

Reporter: "What has Trump learned that tells him that Putin would be willing to make a deal?"

Leavitt: "The president has learned a lot...He has always said in order to get a good deal, both sides are going to have to walk away a little bit unhappy."

Delicate purple Anemones bloom in early spring, found above 2500m in the alpine meadows of Urumqi's South Mountain. Their ethereal beauty adds a touch of magic to the highland landscape.

upon these incredible bonsai masterpieces at the 2025 Osaka Expo. Each one feels like a living sculpture, shaped by time, patience, and art. Nature in its miniature form is simply breathtaking.

Captured these during the trip to Lijiang. Snowy peaks, colorful wildflowers, and clear blue skies every corner feels like a painting. So glad I brought my camera. 🌸

A tray of a dozen baked scones studded with blackberries and orange peel. Triangular in shape, with golden, sugar-sprinkled tops. A knife and cutting board with diced candied orange peel. I made this last winter. It’s sweet and just bitter enough to add depth to the scones.

Scone of the Day: Blackberry and my own candied orange peel. These are richer than my everyday recipe, with more butter and Greek yogurt as well as the buttermilk. So tasty!

“For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Done with The Dispossessed. I think that Le Guin might have been a generational writer
