BTW... nope this hasn't ended, we have MORE BIRDS VISITING! :3

601 species visiting 🥳✊!

#birds
A Yellowish Flycatcher perched on a tree branch with a green canopy out of focus in the background. The small bird has a rounded, ellipsoidal body and is looking to the left, showing part of its profile and back. The tail and wings have feathers with a dusty dark brown base and center, tipped with dusty pale gray and some pale lime green at the base. The body plumage resembles fur and is a greenish-lime color with a slight yellow tinge and white lines around its eyes. It also possesses a small crest above its head. A Sage Thrasher is on the ground, looking curiously to the left with its body standing up tall. The day is sunny, and the area seems sandy with some dried branches broken into the ground. This small to medium-sized bird has plumage that is white from its undertail to its breast. This plumage possesses dark, short streaks that are longer on the belly and become thicker and more rounded as you advance towards its neck. The back, wings, back of the neck, head, and tail possess a gray tone that appears blue due to the light. It also has some diffuse black patches in the wings with white borders on the large feathers. The head has white lines around the eyes that constrict against its clear honey-colored eyes. An Harpy Eagle on the ground is extending its wings and opening its beak, showing its tongue as a warning signal. The bird is whooping, displaying its left profile while looking to the left. Its characteristic crest can be seen in the picture. This is a very large bird, being one of the largest eagles in the world. It possesses plumage with gray, black, and white tones. The legs have the appearance of fur with white feathers that have a zebra-like pattern, with the dark stripes being very thin. The belly, undertail, and breast possess a dirty-like plumage that is white. The neck is completely black, and the same can be said of the feathers on the upper side of the wings and the tail. However, the tail feathers also possess a pattern of white and black stripes alternating perpendicular to the length of the feathers. The wings on the lower part are black and white with a pattern of stripes on the largest feathers. The head, on the other hand, has an almost gray plumage with a crest-like crown in the nape of longer feathers that end in black tips. The beak is thick, black, and recurved.

Completely not shocked about the news of him having an affair with a girl in her 20+ who was under his wing...

In certain friendly circles, this is considered punishable in ways that would make the aliens who mutilate cows scream like scared babies… and again, I am not paraphrasing 😬

As a community, y'all need to learn to just be excited for people succeeding and thriving without being guilt tripped because yikes that's bad medicine and ugly behavior.

Great article on quadratic gravity, and why researchers are attracted to it (it's renormalisable). The pure gravity action of postquantum-classical gravity is the same us that of quadratic gravity but with a different interpretation, and it doesn't suffer from ghosts! arxiv.org/abs/2402.17844 ⚛️🧪

And just as the Northern Belt goes to sleep, the Southern one stars to get active for its storm season.
Satellite image showing the first cyclonic storms in the tropical belt that occupies the southern portion of the Indic and the south west Pacific. In this case the storm is smaller than the storms in the Northern Tropical belt and it is expect to landfall in northern Australia during the next days.

And just as unexpectedly as it started with a rogue tropical wave very early this year (I think in March), this storm season has now almost officially ended in the northern tropical belt over the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. What a season…

See you back in 2026!

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

WOW I didn't realise that Jen-Hsun Huang is already using the phrase "fake news too"... between the link with Palantir, the raise of prices thanks to their movements, their circular investment strategy and their "dinners" to obtain favours; that poor 5 trillion company is starting to smell weird...

A Scoobie Snack at 2:00 am in Byres Road after some beers in the Òran Mór!

I know it does not qualify as a roll but it is technically a modified breakfast roll if is eaten after midnight 😉

I, a Glaswegian, asked a friend from North Yorkshire, to bring some rolls when she was visiting.

We had to use images to clarify what we were both talking about #rolls #baps #buns #cobs

Some of our giant moths have arrived this season; particularly the Black Witch moths 🦋❤️! This cutie is still small; some of the females of this species can reach a wingspan of 24 to 25 cm. It took a while for this little one to feel confident with me.

#moths #insects #invertebrates
A brown moth with several shades of dark brown and some lighter patches is shown within a picture frame. The moth has soft dark markings on the rear of both the forewings and hindwings, as well as along the front edge of the forewings. It also has a diagonal light line that runs from the middle of the forewings to the hindwings and closes over its abdomen. A giant moth rests on the fingertips of a hand, its wingspan wider than the hand holding it. The moth is missing one of its antennae.

P.S. This is the kind of stuff certain friends will put you to walk into a desert for two days and nights to atone if they ever find you doing this... if you survive the stroke they will cause you first.

Everyone dreams of a large house until you needs to clean 4 bedrooms, 2 toilets, one shower, a kitchen, living room and a dinner room with several cats on top... that small studio needs some work too.

I need a 6x10m flat-studio again... or go to the forest!

Trump says he will sell our most advanced fighter jets to the Saudis, who US intelligence says killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Looks like Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar business deals with the Trump family are paying off. This is outrageous.
