I’ve been randomly zooming into this satellite image of a Jamaican neighborhood and it’s just devastating. No tree left standing, houses without roofs or completely destroyed.
Nature is a force bigger than us. We should not mess with it. Hoping for #ClimateAction at @cop30brazil.bsky.social 🙏.

Wissenschaft bestätigt: Dauerhafte Normalzeit ist gesünder
Modellrechnungen aus den USA zeigen: Die Abschaffung der Sommerzeit reduziert gesundheitliche Risiken wie Übergewicht und Schlaganfälle in der Bevölkerung.

That’s a very readable article about quantum theory. It kind of fascinates me right now because nobody really gets it and it might just lead us to the next level of understanding the world.
In a few hundred years people might view it in the same way we view the discovery that the world is not flat.
