I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Why isn’t the headline, “autism was first named (after centuries of symptoms recognized by the medical community) in 1911. Tylenol was invented in 1955. Guess when vaccines started“

10 months ago I let an old web domain and hence email address expire. I no longer have access to it of course. This morning I have wanted to log in to two websites where I was previously registered with that old email and they both sent the security code to nowhere. 1/2

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.
But Bluesky! You deserve EVERYTHING!

If you want to know how my Sunday afternoon is going well I’ve planted the plants that I bought from the garden centre earlier and I’ve washed both the cars as mine had got seagull poo on it and you can’t just wash one of the cars.

The Only Illustrated Manuscript of Homer’s Iliad from Antiquity

Last year I paid my home insurance with a credit card. A few months later the card issuer abandoned the card type I was using and issued me with a new card which has a different number. Now some companies take this sort of thing in their stride and auto update. Not my insurance though. 1/3
