O menininho bilionário e mimado chamado Elon Musk anunciou neste sábado, 17 de agosto, que está encerrando no Brasil as operações da rede social X (antigo Twitter) de sua propriedade. O comunicado oficial afirma que a razão seria a “perseguição” perpetrada pelo ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Alexandre de Moraes. Segundo a nota, havia a ameaça de prisão de sua representante legal no Brasil, caso a plataforma não cumprisse o que considerava “ordens de censura”.

How the US is preparing for an international Plastics Treaty – Darcy Hitchcock
Objective A: Reduce pollution during plastic production.
Objective B: Improve post-use materials management.
Objective C: Prevent trash and micro/nanoplastics from entering waterways and remove escaped trash from the environment.
Some of the notable suggested actions include:
- Eliminating (aka banning) common littered, single use plastics
- Providing funding to improve composting for “compostable” plastics
- Pushing extended producer responsibility which makes manufacturers responsible for collecting products for recycling at their end of life
- Requiring the Federal Government, the largest purchaser, to choose preferable products to create market demand
- Standardizing measurement of microplastics in air, water and oceans
The Biden administration is already issuing executive orders related to this strategy, which of course, can be undone by future administrations.

मुस्कुराहट / Smiles – Kaushal Kishore

आ जाती है मुस्कुराहट अपनी लबों पर,
जब दिखती है अपनी पुरानी तस्वीर सालों बाद…
आज ली हुई तस्वीरें भले अच्छी न लगे,
लेकिन मुस्कुराहट लाएंगी फिर वही सालों बाद…
😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
Our old photographs bring smiles to our face,
As memories flood back with a warm, nostalgic pace…
The pictures we snap today may seem quite plain,
Language – Anonymously Hal
We existed together as witty innuendos and double entendres. Our sarcasm became blatant and often drifted to the edge of indecency. Yet that was our language... Smart yet immature. Intelligent yet crude. But now our once familiar language has been translated into something so vastly foreign and incomprehensible to me. The banter I loved now lost. Our words polite and mediocre at best.

August 16-17, 2024 North side Mushroom Hunt and Trail Blazing | Saint Andrews Forest Farm

We had not explored the north side in months and decided to spend this weekend making trails and looking for mushrooms over there. We are sure glad we did. With both days added together, we had about three pounds of mushrooms.
