"These days, they are bigger, scarier and longer than ever, because each one involves hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles.
They begin after dark and sometimes last in waves until dawn. Whooshing missiles tear up the night sky in two. Drones buzz like horror movie chainsaws or giant mosquitoes out of childhood flu nightmares."

"What’s really harrowing is to hear two or three drones at once – I sardonically call it “stereo” and “Dolby surround”- while the arrhythmia of bass drum-like air defence explosions coincides with your heartbeat.
Each boom and thud chokes your body with adrenaline, and some shake your house, but after a couple of hours, your brain gives up, and you fall asleep processing the booms into nightmares."
Mansur Mirovalev
"Have you been on a plane during severe turbulence, fearing that the shaking aircraft is about to fall apart and tumble down? Brief moments of weightlessness stop your breath; perhaps you whisper prayers and remember everyone you love.
That’s the feeling you get during a Russian air raid in Kyiv, Ukraine – and there have been more than 1,800 of them since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022."

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is always ready for cold weather. A close relative of the brown bear, this species has evolved specialized features to thrive in the Arctic. For example, a female polar bear’s milk is about 31 percent fat, making it the richest milk of any land mammal. It boosts their cubs’ growth, energy, and fat insulation, which helps the baby bears survive frigid temperatures.

Red Sprites and Circular Elves Lightning over Italy
What's happening in the sky? Lightning. The most commonly seen type of lightning involves flashes of bright white light between clouds. Over the past 50 years, though, other types of upper-atmospheric lightning have been confirmed, including tentacled red sprites and ringed ELVES.

whats!?
Belgium has officially joined South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice over Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, becoming the latest country to support the legal challenge alongside Brazil, Ireland, and others.
South Africa filed the case in December 2023, as Israel violated the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
Belgium’s move reinforces international pressure as nearly 80 percent of UN member states now recognize Palestinian statehood.

Makes me want to get a new Commodore 64. I tell myself maybe this is the computer I never got as a kid but could experience it now.
Does this have a web browser too or just access to the internet for only specific features built-in?
For anyone who needs a puffin in their life today.

Stop saying people are "non-technical" - all of your coworkers/staff/users/whatever are technical. They are just technical in different things. At best, you're being vague about your audience, but far more often you're writing off peoples' experience and expertise.
You're not "writing for a non-technical audience," you're writing in a way that is accessible to people who are not daily users of <thing>.
This is not an "interface for non-technical users", it's an interface that prioritizes common features and discoverability.

On Sunday, Dr. Jamal Al-Hamass, Medical Director of the Kuwait Field Hospital in Gaza, announced that the facility has halted both emergency and scheduled surgeries due to a severe shortage of medical supplies amid the Israeli closure of crossings.
The hospital handles around 35 surgeries daily across various specialties, including approximately seven childbirth procedures. The suspension of these services is endangering patients’ lives and worsening their health conditions.
Al-Hamass also noted that saline solution is currently unavailable, with the entire stock depleted, despite being essential for most urology operations.
