I heard one yesterday! First one of the year. Stopped dead in my bike tracks to look for him in a tree.
Beautiful vicious beauties. π

Telling powerful human stories about the benefits of renewable energy matters. But nowhere near as much as $4 billion matters.
The Iranian girlsβ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
If someone tries to sell me a computer with "1TB OneDrive," I'll buy it with Monopoly money.
It's always worth the extra ~two kms of the river with the birds than being on Scott with its no trees and loud cars.
(In my unsolicited opinion. π)
When I saw the melted crack in the ski path at Bayview I smiled a very big smile.
(Sorry skiers. π€·π»ββοΈ).
Dawn glow of orange in the background behind trees along the canal pathway. Oranges reflected in the parts of the canal that are melted.
Watched the clouds in the sky shift in the dark and everything ended (started?) with this warm glow before it turned drippy pinks and fushias.

It was in a tree, but I heard it before I saw it. If that helps. π
Very exciting developments!
Saw lots of gulls on the way, more geese and heard one red winged blackbird. π

A large riverside mural of a heron on a concrete wall is seemingly observed by an actual heron in the Ravensbourne in Deptford.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
GEESE!!! π€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈ
Welcome back you magnificent creatures.
I am once again telling you to

US reporter: "Are you afraid of a US invasion of your country?"
Iran's Foreign Minister: "No, we are waiting for them."
No. I don't usually see those til the canal starts to thaw more and they have open water for fishing. Usually gulls or geese are first for me. Usually a toss up between which I see flying overhead first.

Waved to three ring billed gulls this morning.
Now THAT'S a sign of spring. π
Welcome back you feisty noisy birbs.

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

The last one is my fav. Excellent U-turn
Why do they suggest you'd need the meter?
It doesnβt matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. Itβll never cease to amaze me that people donβt care that itβs happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Happy Friday.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h β’β’β’ My ICQ UIN is 7231680.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and theyβre simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was βyour piano is too close to the fireplace, youβll dry it outβ and if thatβs not the internet in a nutshell I donβt know what is.
Ha!
I am regularly impressed when we come up with our little cheat sheet and they don't even look at it.
Holy shit
