Lisa Zarda, of the U.S. Swim School Association, explains that blues, blacks, whites, and grays blend into #water while #neon #colors stand out. Also covered is how fluorescent pigments absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible light, making neon colors practically glow – the same science behind traffic cones and #safety vests. 🦺

As of December 31st 2025, #Israel has killed at least 21,283 #children in #Gaza, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (#UN #OCHA) says.
And that's only the killed children that are known by name. The slaughtering goes on, day by day, while you're talking about the alleged "ceasefire".
As of today, the #EU Citizen Initiative "Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights" has already gathered 1,209,950 signatories.
You haven't even bothered to comment on that.
"We believe in a Europe that protects every single child."?
No, you are actively supporting the killing of #Palestinian children. Probably their skin color is the wrong one?
EU member states could not rally the support necessary to suspend Israel from the Horizon Europe fund in response to the war in Gaza. The proposal needed a qualified majority of member states to pass it.Shona Murray (euronews)

Age verification is IMO discrimination and ageism and grossly tramples the basic human and constitutional fundamental right to freedom of expression and seriously impinges upon the ability to socialize. I think it's an authoritarian attempt to prevent people from rightfully and freely organizing and exchanging ideas.

🚜🧬 Researchers compared two similar communities with different #farming techniques to study immune system development.
#Amish #children who grow up around traditional manual farming show a much lower risk of #allergies than #Hutterite children who live on modernized industrial farms. The study suggests that early exposure to diverse environmental #microbes found in barns helps train our immune system to ignore harmless allergens.

The European Union sanctions Russian officials over the abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children.
On Monday it imposed sanctions on 16 officials accused of helping Russia abduct tens of thousands of children from Ukraine and force many to change their identities or be put up for adoption.
Sanctions were also slapped on seven centres suspected of indoctrinating the children or training them to serve in the armed forces.
