Beneath Tibet, alarms blink — Data suggests the continent is pulling apart live

At first glance, the Himalayas appear immutable; we see snow-capped peaks, majestic mountain ranges, and valleys that tell millions of years of history. However, beneath this epic landscape, a process is underway that could redefine how we understand Earth itself.

Something invisible to our eyes, but which sends clear signals to those who know where to look. What’s happening beneath Tibet is, in short, unsettling. This is because scientists are beginning to see that the story isn’t just one of slowly rising mountains, but of a continent that may be, quite literally, tearing itself apart before our eyes.

Wonderings 16

 

The only way to get to heaven is through Jesus...

That statement has always bothered me and so it is one of my wonderings.

WHY?

In 2025, there are 8.2 billion people in the world...

SO...

How many of them do you RECKON, are aware of Jesus???

• Does this mean that the Christian God is biased or racist because of that statement?
• Does this mean that God did not make that statement?

While Jesus is the one of the key figures in the Bible, he is a prophet in Islam...  but there is no mention in the Koran that you must go through Jesus to get to heaven.

Were the people who wrote the Bible aware of MUSLIMS?

One would think they would be aware.

Then there is NOSTRADAMUS... who was born in 1503...  did he ever make a prediction that the only way to heaven was through Jesus?

No, Nostradamus did not make a prediction that the only path to heaven was through Jesus.  (AI generated)

SO...

now we have another conundrum slushing around in our aquarium heads...

Is the path to heaven only through Jesus?

OR...

more importantly...

IS THERE A HEAVEN?

Now, that is an interesting question.  Because, if there is a heaven where is it located?

• Our solar system
• The Milky Way Galaxy
• Another galaxy
• Another dimension in this universe
• Another universe

Not quite a billion facts about billionaires


Spencer Platt/Getty Images


The number of people who may think a banana costs $10 has exploded in the last few decades. The US has 902 billionaires this year, up from 66 in 1990, when the economy was less than half of its current size and $410 million was equivalent to $1 billion in today’s dollars.

US billionaires are collectively worth about $7.6 trillion, according to Forbes data analyzed by Americans for Tax Fairness. That accounts for ~4.5% of all wealth held by Americans, while making up just .0003% of the population.
Who (and where) are they?

The US leads the pack, home to almost one-third of the world’s 3,028 people with a $1+ billion net worth, followed by China (450), India (205), Germany (171), and Russia (140), per Forbes.

The folks for whom a Ferrari impulse buy is roughly the financial equivalent of your last-minute decision to Uber to the airport tend to cluster in cities. Forbes found that the leading billionaire hubs are New York City (home to 123 billionaires), Moscow, Hong Kong, London, and Beijing.

It’s a boys club, with women accounting for just 13% of the world’s billionaires, according to the Altrata Billionaire Census—though that number is growing.
Tracing the benjamins

Some routes are more likely than others to land you in the exclusive club that includes Bill Gates, Ronaldo, Selena Gomez, French fashion executives, and Russian oil tycoons:The most common way to achieve billionairehood is to be born into a wealthy family or by marrying into wealth, with a third of billionaires having inherited much of their net worth.
The likeliest professional path to billionaire status is to follow in Warren Buffett’s footsteps, as 15% of billionaires derive their net worth from the finance and investment industry.
Tech minted 13% of billionaires, followed by manufacturing (11%), fashion and retail (10%), healthcare (7%), food and beverage (7%), real estate (7%), diversified industries (7%), media and entertainment (4%), and energy (4%).

Most can’t fully cash out: Billionaires typically aren’t able to build a castle out of hundred-dollar-bill stacks, since 66% of their net worth is tied up in stocks (often in a company they started), which they can’t sell easily, according to Altrata.—SK

Office Hours: Should Dems fight fire with fire?
If so, where does it end?





Friends,

Behind today’s NO KINGS DAY 2.0 is a question of strategy and power. Marching is fine, but it’s hardly enough.

I keep hearing from Democrats that they have to “fight fire with fire” in meeting the Republicans’ authoritarian assault on American democracy. But what does this actually entail, and what’s the downside?

Consider, for example, California governor Gavin Newsom’s intent to redistrict California to elicit five new Democratic seats — the same number as Texas governor Greg Abbott has eked out for Republicans by redistricting Texas. Newsom calls this “fighting fire with fire,” but some critics worry he’s unleashing a race to the bottom. (Btw, I’m in favor of Newsom’s move and plan to vote “yes” on Proposition 50.)

Arab Lands Stolen (?)

 

Sunday is the day of the Lord or so the Bible says, and if that is not true, then it is what most clergy say.  

I believe the heavens and earth were made in 6 days and God rested on the 7th day...  based upon the fact that God's week started with Monday...  although, I don't believe there is any reference to Monday.

I suppose those are minor technicalities about which God does not bother himself...  while on the other side of the coin created a very unique and highly specialized human being...  leading us to believe that God does concern himself with some details.

Einstein once said:  "I WANT TO KNOW GOD'S THOUGHTS EVERYTHING ELSE ARE MERE DETAILS..."

I am still bothered by the fact that God allowed and continues to allow TWELVE MAJOR RELIGIONS to flourish; while stating HIS PEOPLE are the JEWS and this was before Christianity was created...

AND...  perhaps the most important aspect of the Bible, is that GOD TOOK TERRITORY AWAY FROM THE ARABS AND GAVE IT TO THE JEWS...

Apparently, giving us the impression that God does not give a rat's rearend about the Arabs...

This lack of empathy for the Arabs, by God, has caused wars to be played out for over three thousand years or more.

WHY DID GOD WANT THAT TO HAPPEN???

While I am not for/against either the Arabs or the Jews, I am for FAIRNESS...

Maybe God believed the Arabs had more land than they needed and arbitrarily decided some of it should go to the Jews.  And, if that is true, then why did God defecate on the Arabs?

Of course, we Christians believe, I think???, that whatever God wants to do, God can do because God is God.

Taking land from another group of people is stealing and the Ten Commandments state NO STEALING...  otherwise, it is a sin.

Is God a sinner like he says all the rest of us are?

God made us in his image...

US announces it will allow Qatar to build an Air Force facility in Idaho

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on Friday that the US will allow Qatar to build an Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots who will train alongside US troops.

“The location will host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase the lethality, interoperability,” Hegseth said during a meeting with his Qatari counterpart Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani at the Pentagon. “It’s just another example of our partnership. And I hope you know, Your Excellency, that you can count on us.”

Wonderings 15

 People don't typically change until the pain of not changing is greater than the pain of changing...

Change

Is an unavoidable fact of life and will happen to us throughout our lifetime multiple times.  The biggest changes that we have recently experienced were computers and cell phone.

Computers and cell phone have and are continuing to change our lives almost daily.  Many of us in our late sixties or early seventies HATE THE CHANGE THAT these two items caused.

Each of us have our own war stories to tell about these transitions and it irritates the hell out of us, that the younger generation has taken to cell like a duck takes to water.

However, this next change that is on our doorstep is AI and the subsequent humanoid robot soon to follow.  This change will be more dramatic than computers and cell phones because many of us will lose our jobs as a result.

Now, this topic is in WONDERINGS because are you ready for this new change and in the way(s), it will change your life.  Of course, you can continue to wonder about it for as long as you want and do nothing, or you can wonder about it and do something.   What you might want to do is up to you...  and that action whether you like it or not, will cause you some wondering.
