Post image Fanny Cäcilie Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805) was born in Hamburg, Germany. She was the eldest child in a culturally affluent family. From a young age, Fanny received thorough musical instruction—first at home, then from teachers such as Ludwig Berger and Carl Friedrich Zelter; her younger brother Felix Mendelssohn shared much of her education. Fanny was a prolific composer, producing over 450 works, including Lieder (art songs), piano pieces, chamber music, four cantatas, an orchestral overture, a piano trio and quartet, among others. Despite her talent, much of her music remained unpublished in her lifetime, and societal norms often constrained her public role as a musician. At times, works by her were published under her brother’s name. In 1829, Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel, a court painter. The marriage did not curb her musical output—she continued to compose and also hosted “Sunday concerts” (Sonntagsmusiken) at her home in Berlin, inviting friends, extended family and musical peers. She died from a stroke on May 14, 1847 in Berlin; she was 41. Her brother Felix died less than six months later. After her death, much of her music was either unpublished or wrongly attributed, but in recent decades there has been growing scholarship and performance of her work. In 2018, the Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum opened in Hamburg to honor both siblings and their musical contributions.

Soccer (football) dudes in an "The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat"-type reaction where a guy has jumped high in the air near the net with fist raised and the other is standing on the ground covering his face with both hands. The photo was taken by David Ribeiro.

A close-up photograph shows a fuzzy bee nestled among a dense cluster of bright yellow flowers. The bee’s body is covered in fine hair, with a mix of pale and dark patches and a band of warm orange near its middle. Its translucent wings catch the light and fold neatly along its back. Around it, the small star-shaped blossoms fill nearly the entire frame, creating a vivid, textured background of yellow petals and green stems.

There were plenty of Orange-belted Bumblebees working hard along the trail today.

ICE bought vehicles equipped with fake cell towers to spy on phones  | TechCrunch The federal contract shows ICE spent $825,000 on vans equipped with “cell-site simulators” which allow the real-world location tracking of nearby phones and their owners.

Not new but ICE is listening.

I now have a place where you can buy me a coffee. But please keep in mind that I really like coffee. I like it a lot. And I drink it fast. If you guys give me $80,000 to buy coffee, I will do exactly that and I will drink it all in one day. My body will explode.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for these Sloth Oven Mitts. Sloth might be one of the seven deadly sins, but at least it's not the worst one. I'm okay with the service being slow at Applebee's, but I certainly don't want the chef lusting over my dish.

A bee flies right over a wasp as it is coming in for a taste of a goldenrod plant. The bee has pollen bags on it's legs.

I loved catching the bee coming in for landing on the goldenrod right over the wasp.
