A view of the Eildon Hills this morning. I'll add a pic from the same spot every time I do the little walk around my village in 2025.

I've just come back up to bed after a stint on the sofa. Missy and Roxanne have just jumped on the bed, snuggled up next to me and starting purring. Perfect, magical creatures that they are 🥰

I really struggle with believing myself that I'm stressed, have thoughts I'm just being a wimp. It's reassuring to see my watch is picking it up, GP tomorrow.

COMPUTERS PUT PEOPLE OUT OF WORK (Source.)

This newspaper-political-cartoon style comic from the book "A Common Sense Guide to Selection of a Computer System" shows a very mean all-in-one computer giving the boot to a hapless old man, kicking him out the door and down the stairs.

This is the so-called ceasefire, yet warplanes still break the sound barrier to terrify us. 😔

I was today years old when I found out the computer graphics in escape from new york are practical effects and they are glorious.

Why don’t we just paint everything neon: People, clothes, pets, poles, buildings, trees , lakes, rocks, every goddamn inch of this planet neon.

Hey Marylanders! Darker evenings don’t mean more danger on our roads. Just a little extra caution — bright clothes, headlights on — can make a huge difference.

Let’s keep each other safe. Be the difference!

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

It's the worst thing watching resegregation happen in real time to please a bunch of white supremacist nazis in power.

Neurologically speaking, there's no such thing as 'useless' subjects or 'rip-off' degrees

Insisting we should only teach useful subjects is like saying science should only do research that gives positive results

If you honestly believe that's how anything works, *your* education was the wasted one

I'm still blown away by the difference of Bluesky VS X. Posting the same tweet here and the other platform. it's incredible how X triggers all the hatred over nothing.

In July 1951, "Steel Grandpa" Gustaf Håkansson, 66, unofficially rode the Sverigeloppet, a 1000-mile race through Sweden. By not sleeping he arrived a day before the other riders, crossing the finish line on a flat tire.

Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gustaf!
