TRUTH!

"Kids didn’t need special equipment or lessons; they just needed to be less reliant on their time-strapped parents to get outside." -

Moral, no. Effective, possibly. Enlightening, unintentionally?

A Black-headed Gull at Pensthorpe, it’s perched on the railing of the bridge over Mill Pond so you’re really close.

Another thing I miss from the Old Days is when your hosting was done by that one friend who paid for a static IP and had a basic LAMP server in a corner somewhere and gave you FTP access to host your little website. Way better than the cloud.

Not sure that "We can't use the military against people in the U.S. the way we use it against people in other countries" is really the right message.

Earlier this week I found a pair of common newts when moving pots on my #allotment plot. There’s a large pond close by but I haven’t heard anyone at the site mention seeing newts before. This was my first time seeing newts so I was pretty excited 🧡

A very small mid-brown coloured newt. It has smooth skin and gummy looking toes and body. It’s sat amongst tiny pieces of dried grass on bare soil.

An even smaller light-brown coloured newt. It has the same two dark lines on its back as the first newt. A very tiny baby slug sits to the right looking almost as fat as the newt, the scale is completely thrown off by the smallness of everything in the image.

Former Secretaries of the Navy and Army and retired 4 star generals have filed a strong amicus brief in California’s lawsuit to block U.S. Marines from streets of L.A. and declare his federalization of the Cal national guard unlawful.

INTEREST OF AMICI CURIAE
Amici are former secretaries of the Army and Navy and retired four-star admirals anc
generals. Collectively, they served under each president from John F. Kennedy to Barack H
Obama.
Amici are acutely interested in this case because deploying National Guard and active-duts
military personnel in the context of domestic law enforcement should be a rare and carefully
considered occurrence that strictly complies with the Posse Comitatus Act and its exceptions
Domestic deployments that fail to adhere to these long-established guardrails threaten the Guard':
and the active-duty military's core national security and disaster relief missions; place deploye
personnel in uncommon situations for which they lack appropriate training, thus posing safets
concerns for personnel and the public alike; and risk inappropriately politicizing the military
leading to additional risks to recruitment, retention, morale, and cohesion of the force.

When I was a site based engineer, the biggest complaints I dealt with were temperature control. On one floor I installed dummy thermostat controllers. Complaints on that floor dropped by two thirds.

#PPOD: Due to airglow, which is usually hard to see, the sky can glow like a giant rainbow. Disturbances like storms cause gravity waves, making airglow visible. The colors likely originate from various molecules: deep red from OH molecules at 87 km high, and orange and green from sodium and oxygen atoms higher up. This image was captured on Mount Pico in the Azores, Portugal, with Faial Island's lights in view. Credit: Miguel Claro | Dark Sky® Alqueva

The thick band of the Milky Way reaches up to the top of this image from the horizon, passing through rainbow-colored gravity waves in Earth's airglow. At the bottom of the picture, the nighttime lights of a nearby island light up the surrounding water and lower cloud cover.

The owners of the property I'm staying in have done an impressive amount of work for wildlife, the buildings are dotted with holes that lead to nesting cavities. Well used by these Tree Sparrows.

@johnjohnston That’s how snails move! They make ripples on their underside. As they propel themselves forward, the parts of their foot that touch the ground move backward. Think of the snail as undulating along a stationary sine wave.

I met this snail this morning. I am wondering why its trail is ‘dotted’? Was it hopping;-)
