I'm experimenting with my new camera, a mirrorless Canon R6. My fractal cousin, a next door neighbor posed for this photo to allow me to test resolution.
What is more amazing? New camera technology that can capture fractal branches so well? Or the fact that trees and human beings had a common ancestor who lived about 385 million years ago? Or that the offspring of beings that evolved into trees invented an extremely high tech camera? Or that one of those far-distant offspring pointed this high tech camera at a tree and became self-reflective.
I just bought a new squirrel feeder for my backyard. This squirrel was giving a stern lecture to these birds to stay the hell away.
Eric Weinstein reminds us that much of the "news media" is in the business of keeping us polarized and then offering us membership on one team or the other in a national cage match. Much of our news media (but not "The Hill," which featured Weinstein for this story), fails to report on the following big story: Our "news media" has become a predator of the United States, convincing us that being a patriot requires us to hate "the other."

Remember all the people claiming that COVID is like the flu? That is true in the same sense that a week is like a year.
