Two messages. The first: It's 8pm and I'm sat in a freezing church listening to a band that just does folk songs about the moomins being queer The second: The bass from the gay moomin folk band has just made a small child cry
Texts I send from my normal job:
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kΔkΔpΕ chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Pining for the good old days when you could get decent snake oil.

Kingfisher sitting on a branch which has one small bud growing on it.
I take lots of photos of this bird but I hardly ever get him sitting in any light. Here he is posing in full-on sunlight for a change, over the flint mill lade by the River Kelvin in Glasgow. #birds
Bright sunlight highlights vibrant green moss, a small light brown mushroom, and the main subject, a large Amanita muscaria. Amanita muscaria is a tall mushroom with a long and thick roughly-textured white stipe and a bright red, dome-shaped cap. The cap is covered in raised white patches which just barely allow the bright red to show through between them.

We have survived to see Saturday! Let's celebrate with dulce de leche and dandelion cake with uranium icing.
The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.
The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

The alchemist next door keeps transmogrifying my acorn caps into slightly smaller acorn caps, which is annoying because now they won't fit the toads' heads anymore.

Not kidding
Happy 5th birthday to Naomiβs Time Travel Nanopatticles

I've written a new Adrian Chills story (short horror stories directly inspired by the Guardian columns of Adrian Chiles.)
This is #52 and it's called 'Knob'.
Forrige uke hørte jeg for første gang en syngende fossekall. Skjønte ikke med en gang hva det kunne være. Overraskende stort repertoar.
