Furnando, the grey fox, getting a good drink before heading home.
Grey foxes, at least here, are very skittish, I don't often get them drinking at the water bowl. I provide clean, fresh water year round but don't feed the wildlife (so many reasons not to feed even though it sounds mean).

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving! Remember to stand by your pan today. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires!

An action shot of grey fox in the garden, not sure if it saw something to pounce on but it's a cool shot.
The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) is thought to be the oldest surviving canid species, having originated at least 3.6 million years ago.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Today, Thursday’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #HeadShots, any Birds 'Close Up Capture'.
The Alternative Bird is #Swans.
I've gone with a red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), found on a pine outside our lanai, regular visitors.

THREAD.
3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.
