Dad has taken to sending the WhatsApp group he has with just me and brother in a photo from his daily morning walk each day.
It's rather lovely.

Oh look, Elon Musk is again stating that his software can provide a second opinion on your medical conditions.
@mhragovuk.bsky.social care to offer an opinion on the intended use of this software and whether it has a medical purpose...?

Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Pheasants running down a narrow country road and then taking off: "shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitfuckitI'mouttahereohgodohgodohgod"
Meanwhile herons always fly like they have just been sent on a top secret mission to a magic parallel dimension where all language is whispered.
This makes me remember someone describing cormorants as always flying like they've left the house ten minutes late for a really important appointment.

Meanwhile swans land like they've read some very graphic descriptions of what happens to bodies when hitting water at high speed/from a great height.
Every 'sploooossssffffsssshhhhhhhhh' is followed by a little shake of the head and a little sigh of relief.
"got away with it again"

The good news is the astronauts have arrived safely, the bad news is that no one on Earth has any record of sending them and when the other astronauts on the station try to talk to them or read the patches on their oddly-designed suits, they're striken with visions of the unending void.
Four new astronauts arrive at the International Space Station to replace NASA’s evacuated crew
The International Space Station returned to full strength with Saturday’s arrival of four new astronauts to replace colleagues who bailed early because of health concerns.

Sink Laundry works for me, but then, this is a house with a "Cold Cupboard" (fridge) and a "Hot box" (combi microwave/oven) due to similar fuzzy brain moments...
My brain couldn't come up with the phrase "wash the dishes" so I just told my wife I needed to "do the sink laundry"

I suddenly feel much better about the fact that as a toddler, my daughter used to point at the picture of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on the front of River Cottage recipe books and say "Daddy ona book!"

Good morning to nobody except this spectacular brown lad, who deserves all the best things today.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
