Today is World Octopus Day. So here is a collection of octopuses I’ve photographed at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

A collage of octopuses at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. A giant blue octopus made of plastic recovered from the ocean off the coast of Oregon. A picture of an octopus’s tentacles spread on the glass of the aquarium. An octopus’s face dark colored with a pebble like texture to camouflage itself with the cave wall behind it.

I recently gained a lot of new followers, so I thought I'd introduce my work. I work on farmhouse ale, which farmers used to brew from their own grain, because, basically, they already had the grain, so it didn't cost them anything. As long as there was enough to eat they could brew from the rest. 🧵

Ok so those of you who know me from The Other Place may know I am a HUGE fan of Nordic/Baltic farmhouse brewing, and they have an awards festival going on right now!

Norsk Kornølfestival @kornolfest.bsky.social · 17h

3rd place in the judged competition went to Nils Olaf Kyllo, a traditional brewer from Stjørdal, participating with a classic stjørdalsøl from self-smoked malt, with baking yeast. Nils Olaf has been brewing for 30 years, but this was his first time at the festival.

This is a direct mafia style “who will rid me of this meddlesome priest” threat against a sitting United States senator.
Blumenthal and the Dems should invoke the 25th amendment today. Immediately.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

So many unanticipated stupid consequences of Trump's bad (and badly implemented) tariffs...

Emanuel Maiberg @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social · 2d

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’
