It certainly looks stronger! I was suspecting it's acting somewhat like rebar in reinforced concrete.
Veins or something else?
These look to me like regular intrusive iron rich veins. Boulder is about 1m across, and sandstone/mudstone, area is volcanic.
I am not a geologist.. any ideas?

This is great news, might finally get me off Mendeley.
As someone from outside the US, it always gives me a giggle seeing the democrats described anything left of centre, especially communist.

I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view
What he really means is that he only wants to hear about one slice of a political view, or he doesn't understand that climate change is a political subject too.
Thanks!
I'm not from NZ (and I don't live there yet..), so could you tell me if you think this verdict could have implications for places like the Tongariro Alpine Crossing (active volcanic hikes or things like that).

Surely everyone knew it would cut pollution, just many people don't give a shite about it.
I assume the alternative would be that it's been filled in, or bomb damaged and filled with rubble.
I wonder if the house is still there, bricked in forever..

Luis Rubiales: Spanish football federation will take legal action over Jennifer Hermoso 'lies' - BBC Sport
The Spanish football federation says it will take legal action over Jenni Hermoso's comments about its president Luis Rubiales.
Not be up against Messi (Honestly, I think the World Cup win will do it for him)
Already bloody removed him from my fantasy team!
"I...understand that when you are president you have to be more careful."
Come on now, surely you just have to not kiss people when you shouldn't. It makes it sound like he's saying it would have been totally fine if he'd done it off camera.

So those who have the cash can protect themselves and their families, those without just have to take the risk. And of course it's those who travelling on public transport more often and work in big offices/hospitality/retail that won't be able to afford, and those who work till they are older.
Well done all the striking workers who have negotiated higher than initially offered wage increases!
Scottish first minister says every man can play a role in challenging problematic behaviour
Men in positions of power must take the lead in tackling toxic masculinity, which is a root cause of gender-based abuse, Scotland’s first minister has said.
Writing for the Guardian, Humza Yousaf said: “It is simply not good enough to say ‘it is not all men’ and wash our hands of the problem we have collectively created; every single man can, and should, play his role in making change.”
Yousaf said his growing awareness had caused him to reflect on his own behaviour. “Without doubt, in my younger years I will have told a misogynistic joke at the expense of women, or not challenged behaviour that was demeaning to women.”
He said becoming a father to two daughters, as well as witnessing global regression in women’s rights, for example on abortion in the US and education in Afghanistan, had made him determined to use his position to “root out and tackle the toxic masculinity and male self-entitlement that leads to violence, harassment, misogyny and abuse against women”.
Yousaf, who has faced a series of challenges since he replaced Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader in March, including the ongoing investigation into party finances in which Sturgeon was arrested, a toxic confrontation with Westminster over gender recognition reform, a byelection in Rutherglen against a resurgent Scottish Labour and a festering row among MSPs about their governing alliance with the Scottish Greens, said he wanted Scotland to show “global leadership”.
He has pledged to continue the work of the Barack Obama-inspired National Council for Women and Girls set up by his predecessor and appointed a gender-balanced cabinet as Sturgeon did.
“There is a great opportunity for all men in positions of influence to demonstrate real leadership on this hugely important issue,” he said. “Whether in politics, in the office, on the work site, in school, the pub or our own living rooms, we can all do more as men to challenge problematic behaviour among our friends, colleagues and family members.”
He said “finger wagging is not the answer”, insisting it was crucial to understand why thousands of young men and boys in Scotland were attracted to celebrity misogynists such as Andrew Tate.
“As men, we must listen, we must learn but we also must demonstrate what a positive male identity looks like to our young boys and to other men,” Yousaf said.
Even the demolition contractor, whose digger was actually booked before the pub caught fire, is embarrassed.
I didn't know that part. Shocking.

Tottenham rejects Bayern Munich's latest offer for Harry Kane, with the two clubs apart on their valuation of the striker.
Bayern had hoped to agree a deal for the England skipper but it is understood the two sides remain apart in their valuation of the 30-year-old.
The Bundesliga champions had suggested if their bid for Kane was unsuccessful on this occasion they would move on to other transfer targets.
However, with over three weeks of the transfer window left, it remains to be seen whether that is the case.
