The ✝️ remains steady while the 🌍 turns. A small town in Africa became my escape from a world gone mad.

@eNCA Who kept the records before those who could write arrived, or are they going to base their history on rock paintings?

South Africa's history curriculum is set to undergo an overhaul. The changes aim to make the subject more African-centred in classrooms. The proposed curriculum, which would be compulsory, includes teaching South African history from before 1652. brnw.ch/21x1rLe

@Brevity121 @catturd2 Why no-one else can see that this is the only way to make that deal beats me! @realDonaldTrump has them by the short and curlies🤭 They are going to beg him to take Greenland as a peace offering for being dickheads. Watching this drama unfold will be fun😅

Water is reaching Sossusvlei. 🌊 Warden Erastus confirms the pan is currently unreachable — the river has cut off access and it won't be passable for hours. A rare and extraordinary sight in the Namib. 09.04.2026 #Sossusvlei #Namibia

The revival of the Judean date palm is one of the most significant achievements in archaeobotany. The project began with the discovery of ancient seeds during excavations at King Herod’s palace on Masada and other sites in the Judean Desert. In 2005, a 2,000-year-old seed nicknamed "Methuselah" was successfully germinated, marking the first time a plant from this era had been brought back to life. These seeds remained viable for two millennia due to the intense heat and extreme aridity of the Dead Sea region, which acted as a natural preservation chamber. Beyond the biological miracle, this project has allowed scientists to study the genetic makeup of a fruit that was world-renowned in antiquity for its size, sweetness, and medicinal qualities. By germinating multiple seeds, researchers were able to grow both male and female trees, eventually leading to cross-pollination. In 2020, this resulted in the first harvest of ancient dates in over eight centuries. DNA analysis shows that these trees were a sophisticated hybrid of Eastern and Western palm varieties, suggesting that ancient Judean farmers used highly advanced agricultural techniques to create their legendary crops. One crucial detail missing is the specific cultural and economic impact these palms had on the ancient world; they were so vital to the regional identity that the Roman Empire featured the tree on "Judaea Capta" coinage to symbolize their conquest of the land. These dates were a luxury export across the Mediterranean, praised by writers like Pliny the Elder for their distinct honey-like flavor and ability to be stored for years without spoiling. The destruction of these groves during the Jewish-Roman wars and subsequent climate shifts led to their total disappearance by the 14th century, making their modern "resurrection" not just a botanical feat, but the recovery of a lost cultural icon that sustained entire economies in the ancient Levant. #archaeohistories

🚨 WhatsApp’s “end-to-end encrypted” privacy is a total lie. New class-action lawsuit just dropped: Meta secretly let employees, contractors like Accenture, and third parties read, intercept, and store your private messages WITHOUT consent. All while marketing it as “only you and the recipient can read it.” Zuck lied to billions. Your chats were never safe.

Thanks to Max Verstappen, the Nürburgring 24 Hours has attracted so much interest that its 150-entry limit has been reached, leaving some teams without a place on the grid. Max is generating significantly increased interest in Germany's biggest motorsport event. Organizer ADAC Nordrhein confirmed that, for the first time since 2020, all 150 starting slots will be filled, with additional teams placed on a waiting list. Now you understand why the Nürburgring staff adjusted the calendar specifically for Max.

Many people still don’t know this 𝕏 quietly replaced Google Translate with Grok… and it’s been an absolute game-changer Previously 𝕏 used to have Google Translate, which was kinda okay-ish Grok translation just broke the walls between Japanese and Western users Timelines went from local to GLOBAL overnight Japanese fire, anime takes, niche culture.....now the whole West actually gets it (and vice versa) People are honestly loving it. The timelines have never been this fun and interesting!

A man named Harvey Ball was paid $45 in 1963 to design a quick logo to boost office morale. He sketched two dots and a curve in 10 minutes. He never trademarked it. That sketch became the smiley face :) It has generated over $500 million in merchandise. Harvey got $45.

For four decades, we’ve been told the age of hydrocarbons is over - and the 'transition' is a fait accompli. Yet, as conflict flares in the Middle East, the mask slips. We see clearly that today's modern world doesn't run on aspirations. It runs on the density of oil, gas and coal. It's a collision between a green climate agenda and harsh reality. The crisis narrative has already dismantled much of Western energy infrastructure and skewed our reality. This conflict is a hard lesson, highlighting the immediate need for raw high-energy security - and plenty of it. You cannot fight a war, feed a nation or sustain an economy on intermittent power when the chips are down. While the West has focused on dismantling the reputation of coal, oil and gas, the current crisis proves we haven't dismantled our dependence on them. When the Strait of Hormuz is threatened, the world doesn't look to renewables to keep the lights on. It looks for the high-density power only possible from raw hydrocarbons. Warring nations need urgent baseload power to build and move navies and fly fighter jets. While we scramble for the energy density required to protect our sovereignty, the very CO2 produced by that 'engine' is quietly fueling the greatest planetary greening event in 34 million years. Nature is far more pragmatic than our bureaucracies. Demand for high-octane energy just re-entered the room.
