My personal advice when looking at the Oscar noms (and wins) is to celebrate & embrace the films and people you care about, and ignore the rest.
There is no such thing as a snub; this is an extremely contrived, arbitrary process, which is both important for the industry and utterly silly.
F1! lol

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeedingTime. This is from last Spring - a White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) feeding a juvenile.
The White-throated Dipper is the national bird of Norway, although this one was in the UK.

There is a safe just left on the roof of a pub like it’s a fallout item. If you look on street view it stays as the pub changes over the years.

Dating from around 1865, this hooded parka from the Aleutian Islands in southern Alaska is made from seal intestines, a naturally waterproof & windproof material. Both robust & decorative, these seal gut parkas would have been used daily to keep warm & dry in this harsh environment.
