Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

Looking down on the city port Skopelos on the island of Skopelos, Greece. The white buildings are arranged in an amphitheater way, climbing one of the mountains. The sea is met with a large retaining wall. Lush green forests fill the landscape. The movie Mama Mia was filmed here so I watched that shit on the flight home. Meh.

Across New York, some renters — especially those in the city’s poorest neighborhoods – are frequently left without heat or hot water during the winter, leading them to bundle up in layers of clothing or risk fires by using space heaters. trib.al/so6w76W
A woman wearing black sits on a bed. A quote by Mercedes Escoto reads: "I deserve to live well in an apartment that provides all the services I pay for." More text reads: "Mercedes Escoto said it is sometimes so cold in her Bronx apartment that she can see her breath indoors. 'I don't deserve this,' she said."

Throwback to Bijoux first discovering the cat bridge. Discovery: A good place to hangout and keep everyone guessing
#cats #catsofblusky #lifeillusions
Bijoux, a black cat, is actually lounging on the cat walk bridge, but has one paw hanging through so it isn’t clear where she begins or ends. The cat walk bridge has open boxes and three levels so its a bit of a puzzle and keeps everyone guessing. picture is a bit of an optical illusion. this is a closeup cropped from the previous picture and in it we see Bijoux’ (a black cat) head. You can see a little more clearly that she is lounging on a flat part of the cat bridge. And so it solved some of the optical puzzle. She is staring intently at something below her (probably one of her cat mates).

We've got a new batch of Verge stories that are completely free to read for the day. First, from Sheon Han:

With vibe-coding, anyone can become a coder. But can they grow into a software engineer?
Is AI the end of software engineering or the next step in its evolution?
With vibe-coding, what I find most useful isn’t even writing code but understanding it.

Lights coming on in Sussex Street: a favourite place in Cambridge, mixed media work (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition). Buildings delightfully designed by architect E.R.Barrow in the 1920s and '30s. Green pantiles particularly effective.
