We need a tent that now costs $1,000, plus a bathroom and setup for $300–$400 Altogether that’s about $2,700,and with the fee that’s over 40%,we actually need about $4,500

It’s impossible to explain how heavy this all feels. But thank God, I’m okay now. I was sick and exhausted, but I’m slowly feeling better. My mother gave me an injection last night, and it did wonders. And we’ve saved ourselves from the bombings, for now. Just wanted to update you and thank you for caring.

Because of the fear and panic, people are rushing to the south in huge crowds. It’s absolute chaos.
As for me — I walked. I walked with my family on foot from northern Gaza all the way to the south. We couldn’t afford the transport costs; they’re extremely high. The roads were packed with people, and even though people were trying to evacuate, the army was still bombing areas along the way.

My family, my children, and I are still in northern Gaza, unable to leave because we don’t have a tent, a place to go, or even the cost of transportation. But above all, we cannot bear the thought of leaving our land—it is our right, our memories, and our dreams. It is deeply painful.

Thousands fled south from Gaza last night. Traffic is slow, with cars and trucks stuck on Rashid Street. Many people are unable to move around due to the lack of transportation and the high costs, which reach $2,000.For one family, there are many families still sleeping in the streets with their children. There is no place for them. The situation is difficult here in Gaza.

The last days in our home
The one we love most.
We are packing our clothes and whatever we can take.
I don’t see anyone from my family crying
Everyone is just living in a state that feels like shock
or maybe there are no tears left.
Do you know what it means to break your bed into wood for fire because there is no place for it in the tent?

You can read more on the family's crowdfunding campaign:

A final cry from Gaza
From today Gaza is no longer what it was before. From today its voice will disappear and no one will hear it. Today was the most violent day in Gaza. The bombing did not stop for a minute.
Gaza is only a few days away from joining the cities that have been wiped off the map: Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, and Rafah.
I don't know what to say. We are broken in body and soul. These are our last breaths to the world.

🚨This was our night in northern Gaza 🚨
We sleep on the ground, surrounded by houses that are all under threat.
Disease is consuming our bodies, and there is no safe place to go.
We looked for transportation, but the prices are unaffordable.We need $500 to move to what they call the “safe zone” —even though it is not truly safe.
Please, donate and help me save my family from here. 🙏

Gaza is now entering its most dangerous stage as the ground invasion begins. The bombing has intensified massively, with huge demolitions and brutal, relentless attacks everywhere. Around 800,000 people in Gaza are currently facing the most horrific kinds of killings.

Arguably, given the health and environmental effects of things like power plants, perhaps they *should* be ugly. But ugliness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
In any case, if you like this kind of stuff, let me strongly recommend the work of Hilla and Bernd Becher. https://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/bernd-and-hilla-becher

Power plants are often regarded as utilitarian eyesores, and are rarely (generally under public pressure) built to look beautiful or interesting, (London's Battersea Power Station was an exception). Generally, like here, any beauty to be found is accidental, a direct consequence of interesting form happening to follow from function.

I shot several versions of this, with exposures that kept the moving train sharp or blurred it to varying degrees. I think this was the most successful attempt, with the train blurred enough to suggest motion, but not so much that it's unrecognizable.
Motion can be a central part of a still photograph.

This was captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 HR Digaron-W lens and the Phase One IQ3-100 back. A bit of vertical shift was used to keep everything straight. A 1/2 sec exposure provided just the right amount of motion blur for the passing train.
The power plant generates electricity (now oil fired, converted from coal) as well as steam for Philly's Center City steam loop. The rail bridge extends the former Pennsylvania Railroad's "High Line" into south Philly's Greenwich rail yard.

The Perplexity Comet prompt injection attack that Brave demonstrated is pretty shocking. Visit a Reddit thread, hidden instructions make the browser log into a different site, then it checks gmail to get the OTP, and then it posts the email address and OTP back in the Reddit thread.

And this is the "good guy" security researcher version of the attack. It could be infinitely worse.
