"Giving thanks for what we are allowed to think about it, grateful for it even as it wanes. For knowing it is there... All of it a blessing. The being there. Being alive then. Like a giant bell ringing long after you can’t hear it." —Jack Gilbert, "Burma"

Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to the brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Noether revolutionized the methods of modern physics by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The third image is her grave marker.

Hegseth‘s speech sounds even creepier translated into German, just saying.
Pete Hegseth, US-Kriegsminister, sagte heute zu seinen Generälen: „Wir entfesseln überwältigende und vergeltende Gewalt gegen den Feind. ... Wir geben unseren Kriegskämpfern die Hände frei, um die Feinde unseres Landes einzuschüchtern, zu demoralisieren, zu jagen und zu töten.“
Heidenei.
