"With laws shall our land be built up but with lawlessness laid waste." - Njál Þorgeirsson

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Starting a war is like a love affair - easy to get in, hard to get out, — Kallas warned against being drawn into a war against Iran, led by the US and Israel, without a defined strategy for ending it, POLITICO reports.

At the same time, she stressed the importance of protecting EU interests in the region, but noted that there is no significant support for the idea of ​​expanding the mandate of the Aspides naval mission, which is currently operating in the Red Sea.

@drahardja Ed Z and I both predicted end of 2024, from talking to people in AI. But it's a scam, and those run *far* longer. AI has to be kept alive as long as possible because a lot of imaginary book values for assets depend on it.

Scientists discover oldest known recording of whale song

Researchers say the discovery of the oldest known recordings of whale sounds could open up a new understanding of how the huge animals communicate. The recording captured the song of a humpback whale, a marine giant beloved by whale watchers for its docile nature and spectacular leaps from the water. Researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Massachusetts, say it was recorded in March 1949 in Bermuda. The recording predates the discovery of whale song by nearly 20 years. Scientists say the recording is important because it documents whale song during a time when the ocean was quieter.
