I noticed they excluded the Great Auk. Are they allergic to thistle?

They are desirable in Maine alright!

Before there was “Mad Max” there was “The Mad Hungarian” - they just don’t make baseball pitchers (or baseball cards) like they used to #baseball #bluejays #baseballcards

Ahh nothing like the smell in the air when it’s baseball spring training and spring bird migration is nigh!

Rickey Henderson baseball card

A trip down nostalgia lane awaiting beg of 2026 baseball season. Henderson was my favourite player. His base running wizardry (& all round wizardry) memorized me as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. Looking forward to seeing what the Cubs do this year! #baseballcard #rickeyhenderson #mlb #chicagocubs

Anthropic will release Claude Sonnet 5 this week, according to many sources. The exact date would be 20260203 since the model name is claude-sonnet-5-20260203.

It’s been interesting to watch the recovery of beavers in southwestern Ontario. Here is a video I took of one in a small creek that runs through a local otherwise landlocked Woodlot

RIP Bob Weir

I hope 2026 is a great year for you!

I think I’m 80% sure this we’ll be a good move and hopefully Cabrera can stay healthy.

I think the pitching rotation will be very fun to watch

I’m overall excited with the #chicagocubs picking up Cabrera!! I’m sad though they had to give up a great Canadian prospect (Owen Cassie). I’m most nervous that Cabrera’s injury proneness and Cassie booming in Florida will make the Cubs regret this. #cubsnation

Always great to begin a fresh new year with a Northern Saw Whet Owl sighting! #NorthernSawWhetOwl #owls #birdnerd #birding

Also this lovely book

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

Francis Bacon, ever relevant on reading habits.

"The difference between animals and fungi is simple: animals put food in their bodies, whereas fungi put their bodies in the food."

Still a Leafs fan persay but finding myself rooting for the Winnipeg Jets more and more. Just enjoy watching them!

Others send spores through the soil to chase nematodes. How can we be bored when such a fascinating world of creatures is just a hike through the woods away 4/4

Some use adhesive nets. Others have inflatable nooses. Others, like commonly cultivated Oyster Mushrooms, use toxins to paralyze the nematodes so they can digest them from inside out. 3/4

There are hundreds of species of fungi worldwide that hunt worms. Some hunt nematodes (a type of roundworm). They have incredibly differing ways to accomplish that. 2/4

The natural world is so fascinating. Fungi in particular are extremely peculiar. 1/4
