Really enjoyed the Triceratops exhibition on display @naturalis.bsky.social! Well worth a visit if you find yourself nearby...
A striking display of a Triceratops herd skeleton at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden. The exhibit showcases five Triceratops horridus individuals, arranged in a dynamic group, emphasizing their horns, frills, and massive builds. Strategically lit, the scene immerses viewers in a prehistoric landscape, highlighting the collective nature of these dinosaurs.

Always worth waking up a little earlier on a crisp, wintery morning like today 🧣
A serene winter morning scene with a clear sky and crisp air. The pathway is lined with frost-covered grass on both sides, and bare trees stand tall, casting long shadows in the soft sunlight. A person is cycling down the path, with a trolley attached to the back of their bicycle. The sun is low on the horizon, creating a warm glow and lens flare in the image. Contrails streak across the blue sky, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. A lamppost on the left adds an urban touch to the natural surroundings.

TIL you can fake a subset of jobs in your Laravel tests. Very handy!

Docs: laravel.com/docs/11.x/qu...
test('orders can be shipped', function () { Queue::fake([ ShipOrder::class, ]); // Perform order shipping... // Assert a job was pushed twice... Queue::assertPushed(ShipOrder::class, 2); });
