A high-resolution aerial view of a large, modern train station, showcasing an impressive and symmetrical architectural design. The central structure has a futuristic, cross-shaped roof made of glass and metal, featuring a gradient from silver to bronze tones with integrated solar panels. Multiple railway tracks radiate outward from the central building in organized patterns. Surrounding the main terminal are several smaller buildings and high-rises with rooftop gardens, access roads, and pedestrian pathways. Construction activity is visible in the top portion of the image, with cranes, exposed foundations, and building materials.

These photos of solar power projects in China are incredible. I especially like this one of the Hangzhou West Railway Station.

$75 million was awarded to plant trees in places that badly need them. In anti-DEI push, that's over The U.S. Forest Service has terminated $75 million awarded to the Arbor Day Foundation to help disadvantaged communities plant trees.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

Amateur radio needs to be more inclusive and I fully support this effort. I want everybody to feel welcome to this hobby, the bands are for all of us and should bring us joy. I upgraded to AE today and that strengthens my resolve on this even more. #HamRadio
