Why is nickel mined in Russia still ending up in Western EVs & steel? A loophole means refined nickel processed in EU counts as “Finnish,” so it slips through US import bans. We must close this gap. Read more: https://gwitness.org/4of1HbB
Sanctions gap lets Russian-mined nickel flow to Western markets
A European loophole keeps nickel from Russian mining giant Norilsk Nickel flowing to the US long after Washington banned imports of the Russian-origin metal

"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Dragon at the Edge of Sundown

#GenArt #SynthArt
Digital artwork of a sleek, stylized black dragon standing on a minimalist desert path, gazing at a large red sun on the horizon. The scene features bold geometric shapes, textured colors in red, yellow, and blue, and a surreal, contemplative atmosphere.

Moon 20250807

August 7
Waxing Gibbous
Illumination: 97%

#moon
"The Moon fills the frame like a celestial monument—silent, ancient, and intricately scarred. Its surface is a tapestry of craters, ridges, and plains, each etched by time and cosmic impact. Some craters are deep and shadowed, like sunken eyes in a weathered face, while others are shallow and wide, their rims softened by eons of dust and silence. The texture is rough and pitted, yet strangely elegant, like stone carved by invisible hands. Light falls across the lunar surface at a gentle angle, casting long shadows that accentuate the terrain’s depth and drama. The highlands gleam faintly, while the darker maria—vast basaltic plains—stretch like ancient scars across the Moon’s face. There’s no color here, only shades of gray and silver, but the contrast is rich and expressive, revealing the Moon’s layered history. The image feels both intimate and immense, as if the viewer is hovering just above this distant world, close enough to trace its contours with a fingertip. In the bottom left corner, the credit “Swede’s Photographs” is quietly inscribed, grounding this cosmic portrait in human artistry." - Copilot
