Russia is making preparations for the Zelensky ceasefire.
A bill on the genocide of the occupied territories has passed the Russian parliament and will be brought in effect once the frontlines are frozen in place.

Just seems insane, an all powerful God who rules and created everything, and he's obsessed with the minutiae of your life, like how much you pray or what food you eat.

Postal address? Name the leaders? Estimated number of members? Recruitment drives? Anything at all?
Nah didn’t think so. It’s like investigating unicorns. You can keep busy for years with no actual results.

Kanyaka Station was a cattle and sheep station in the Flinders Ranges.
This once busy place was established in 1852 but abandoned following the terrible droughts of the 1860s.
The hotel closed in 1881.
With many old stone buildings, it's a fascinating place to explore with an interesting history.

You don’t need alcohol on Christmas Day. It may be far more enjoyable if you stay sober | The modern mind
Imagine what a relaxing and special celebration it could be if it was tailor-made just for you

Superb Lyrebirds in rainforests are often accompanied by this fellow, hopping around and collecting any of small invertebrates which are disturbed in the vigorous leaf raking. This is the Yellow-throated Scrubwren, a comensal of the lyrebird and one of the forest's most fascinating species. #birding
