Der Tag war kalt, klar u sonnig, vitaminD satt konnte ich Nachmittag tanken am Fluss zwischen spielenden Hunden.
MeeresRauschen, diese Musik aus dem Meer, mag ich jetzt hören.. möge sie das unsägliche Gequatsche vom orangenen Mann, das dann von irgendwoher krächzte, übertönen, auslöschen.
Kommt gut durch den abendlichen #MeerMittwoch und bleiben wir zuversichtlich, ermächtigt u voller Selbstvertrauen👍🏻 und später ⭐️helle Träume, Ihr Schönen ⭐️
Just in case you were still buying the #propaganda from the White House that this is about #DrugTrafficking, they’re making their real intentions clearer & clearer…
#Hegseth gave order on first #Caribbean boat strike, officials say: “Kill them all”
As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.
In two recent public speaking engagements, I made a comparison between the obesity epidemic in various pockets of the globe and AI. Several people came up afterwards and said that was the best analogy they'd heard, so maybe it's worth repeating here. Also, I feel like this one will hold up a while.
What I said was some recent CDC figures show that something like 55 percent of the average American diet comes from processed or highly processed "foods," and the numbers are even higher for kids. In a similar way, so much of what AI produces is akin to highly processed data: Its myriad origins are murky at best, you often don't feel great after using it a while, and if you are exposed to it too much it might just freaking kill you.
#PhotoOfTheDay is of
@CroyleC operating NOAA's Navi-Trainer 5000 Professional ship simulator at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon... Slower traffic keep right! 😁
A woman with long hair is at the wheel of a ship simulator, while 5 large screens in the background display the virtual bay that she is trying to navigate.
#PhtoOfTheDay is of Chief Kiawanda Rock in the mist, just off the beach in Pacific City, Oregon... I always love the little "handle" of rock at its lower right side.
#PhotoOfTheDay is of the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. It's another glorious (if somewhat challenging to maintain) Conde McCullough bridge with Art Deco styling.
Photo from one end of a large bridge crossing a small bay inlet. The bridge is a mix of concrete and green-painted steel, with Art Deco concrete towers.
#PhotoOfTheDay Is the Cape Meares lighthouse on the Oregon coast... Love those big Fresnel lenses! This one was said to have been crafted in Paris in 1888 and shipped to Oregon around the tip of South America.
A red and clear Fresness lens is visible inside the top of a short lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. Trees and ocean and a couple of visitors are also seen.
#PhotoOfTheDay is a view of my lovely Manhattan with the Pacific Ocean off of Oregon in the background, in honor of the four hours of work meetings that I have today. 😁
In the foreground is a lovely Manhattan in a clear glass and with one large ice cube. The sunset shines through it. In the background through a window is the coast, with the ocean coming up close to the window.
Several very large rocks along with some smaller ones protrude from the calm Pacific Ocean waters. Two large tunnels through the rocks at ocean level can be seen.
A coastal shoreline with lots of greenery and some beach, with the ocean and cloudy skies. There are some large rock just off the shore, one of which has a natural tunnel through its base.
Two clowns get into a quarrel on social media, and now the US Navy has to reposition two nuclear subs because of it.
That is two times a crew of 134 sailors sailing round the world under water for days, because two manbabies disagree.
We must be living in the dumbest timeline.
Trump posting:
Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of
Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended
consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Nestled along the remote northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula, the quiet harbor of Sekiu, Washington offers a timeless portrait of Pacific Northwest fishing life. Under a vivid autumn sky, a fleet of weathered boats rests peacefully in the calm, protected waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Nestled along the remote northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula, the quiet harbor of Sekiu, Washington offers a timeless portrait of Pacific Northwest fishing life. Under a vivid autumn sky, a fleet of weathered boats rests peacefully in the calm, protected waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Front and center, the boat “Sonny Boy” shows the marks of a life well worked—its hull rusted and paint worn, a testament to countless seasons at sea.
Sekiu is a beloved hidden gem—small, serene, and steeped in fishing tradition. This tiny harbor town draws devoted anglers from all over the region, known for its world-class salmon and halibut fishing. Unlike the bustling ports of the southern coast, Sekiu remains unhurried, its charm rooted in its stillness, rugged beauty, and close-knit community.
On this crisp blue-sky day, the harbor glows with quiet dignity. The reflections shimmer with the light of late autumn, and the scent of saltwater lingers in the air. This image captures not only a tranquil moment but also the enduring soul of a coastal village shaped by the sea.
A lone adventurer walks the stony shore of Ruby Beach, dwarfed by towering sea stacks that rise from the surf like ancient guardians of the Pacific. The distant cliff, robed in coastal evergreens, holds the memory of wind and wave in every crevice. It’s a moment suspended in wild majesty where land, sea, and sky converge
Approaching the Giants Sea Stacks Ruby Beach Washington
A lone adventurer walks the stony shore of Ruby Beach, dwarfed by towering sea stacks that rise from the surf like ancient guardians of the Pacific. The distant cliff, robed in coastal evergreens, holds the memory of wind and wave in every crevice. It’s a moment suspended in wild majesty—where land, sea, and sky converge in quiet conversation.
This powerful composition captures both the scale and solitude of Washington’s iconic coastline. The sea stacks, cloaked in moss and time, seem almost alive—weathered yet immovable, as if carved by myth.
Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington
Where wild beauty meets moody mystery, Ruby Beach is one of the crown jewels of the Pacific Northwest coast. With its dramatic sea stacks rising like ancient sentinels from the Pacific, driftwood strewn like nature’s sculpture garden, and mist weaving through towering evergreens, this is a place where the soul pauses to breathe.
