10/10, fabulous idea, cannot possibly go horribly wrong!
A Swedish startup called Corvid Cleaning has launched a brilliant eco experiment in Södertälje, where wild New Caledonian crows are being trained to collect litter in exchange for food. Using a smart device that dispenses a food pellet whenever a crow drops a cigarette butt or small piece of trash into a slot, the birds quickly learn to clean their surroundings with incredible efficiency. Cigarette butts are among the most common litter items on Earth, and this pilot program could save cities significant time, money, and labor. With crows already known for their intelligence and problem solving skills, this innovative partnership between birds and technology may become a powerful new tool in the fight against pollution.

I don't have the crayons to explain this to some: we could HAVE IT ALL. We could have universal healthcare, affordable housing, free university/skills training for all, free childcare, a comfortable living wage, even elder care. And it wouldn't cost you a cent more than you're paying now. It just requires us, as a country, to make the folks profiting off our backs to pay their taxes. To just pay what they currently owe on time. If you aren't mad yet, you should be.

Introduce yourself with four starships.
The image shows the Heart of Gold starship from the 2005 film adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The ship is the first to use the revolutionary Infinite Improbability Drive, which allows instantaneous travel across vast distances. The appearance of the ship differs significantly across various adaptations; the book describes it as a sleek running shoe, while the film version is a large, smooth orb with a concave rear section for the drive. The image shows the spaceship Bebop, the primary setting and transport for the main characters of the anime series Cowboy Bebop. The Bebop is a converted interplanetary fishing trawler owned and captained by Jet Black. It serves as the mobile base of operations for a group of bounty hunters (Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed, and Ein) in the year 2071. The ship itself does not have any weapons systems or shields. The image shows the TARDIS, the iconic time machine and spacecraft from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. TARDIS is an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space. It is "dimensionally transcendental," meaning its interior is a separate dimension and much larger than its exterior appears. The TARDIS has a "chameleon circuit" designed to change its exterior appearance to blend in with its surroundings, but the Doctor's circuit is broken, leaving it permanently stuck as a 1960s-style London police public call box. The ship is a living organism, capable of telepathic interaction with its passengers. The image shows a model of the fictional space freighter Valley Forge from the 1972 film Silent Running. The ship's primary purpose in the film was to carry the last remaining forests and plant life from Earth in large, geodesic domes.

The image displays a screenshot of a digital tool called the Pathfinder Initiative Tracker, which is used by game masters (GMs) to manage combat encounters in the Pathfinder tabletop role-playing game. This specific tool is a local-only web application that helps organize the turn order of players and non-player characters (NPCs) during combat. The tracker uses the standard Pathfinder rules for initiative: a d20 roll plus an Initiative Modifier, with the Dexterity (DEX) modifier used as a tiebreaker. Users can quickly add pre-defined monsters/NPCs like a "Guard Captain" or manually input custom characters with their name, initiative modifier, and DEX modifier. The "Current Roster" section lists all participants, including a "Commoner," "Ghoul," "Black Pudding," and other custom characters, showing their current initiative and DEX modifiers. The tool helps streamline gameplay by clearly displaying whose turn it is and allowing the GM to advance turns and rounds efficiently. The image displays the combat turn order screen. The current combat is in Round 1. "Bob, torch holding guy" has the highest initiative (20) and will act first. The turn order is determined by the total initiative score, from highest to lowest. Actions in combat are automatic, so a suggested action is to monitor the progress and ensure the characters have appropriate gear and food for survival. The "Reroll Initiative (New Combat)" button can be used to start a new encounter with a different turn order.

It is now the temperature outside that makes me irresistible to chilly women and snuggly animals, as i throw off a wave of warmth that than put the most cranky baby into nap-mode. I have used this power only for good since obtaining it in my youth.

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those that celebrate.
The image is a comic book panel with text at the top and an illustration below. Text: The text at the top reads: "NOVEMBER 14TH: A PARTIALLY MUSCLED SKELETON STANDS BY THE PERIMETER FENCE AND SCREAMS FOR THIRTY SECONDS BEFORE VANISHING...". Illustration: The illustration depicts the scene described in the text. A large, partially muscled human skeleton is the central figure, with its right arm raised and its mouth open in a scream. It is positioned next to a chain-link fence. In the background, a soldier in uniform holding a rifle and another kneeling figure can be seen.

Remember, Walmart. com is a marketplace with third-party sellers and they really suck at checking listings. Not an excuse.

Via @bronzeagemonsters.bsky.social and @mamaoffthegrid.bsky.social
A social media post from a user named "mamaoffthegrid" to Walmart, questioning a product listing. The post includes an image of a black t-shirt with a graphic of a hand making a resist fist sign , with an openhand fascist salute above it. The shirt has the text "Paper Beats Rock" on it. Next to the shirt, a product description from Walmart is visible, highlighting details like "UNISEX DESIGN" and "CULTURAL HOMAGE," which is circled in the image. The post has a caption that reads, "Hey @walmart, quick question, what the actual FUCK is this?"

this image is a four-panel Peanuts comic strip. In the first panel, Linus van Pelt waves goodbye in a pumpkin patch. His speech bubble says, "GOOD-BY 'TIL NEXT YEAR, O, GREAT PUMPKIN!". In the second panel, he continues to wave, saying, "FAREWELL, FAREWELL, FAREWELL! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!". In the third panel, he stands alone, looking sad. In the fourth panel, he is slumped over, with a thought bubble that says, "SIGH WHO AM I KIDDING?". The comic is signed "SCHULZ 10-31"

Another random #scottfact - I refreshed my knowledge of Morse code to get my ham radio license.

(It is no longer needed to get one.)

I initially learned it to get my Signs, Signals and Codes badge in Boy Scouts when I was a kid.

The image shows the Signs, Signals, and Codes merit badge from the Boy Scouts of America. This merit badge is awarded to a Scout who demonstrates knowledge and skill in various signaling methods. The badge's design features a compass rose, a semaphore signal for the letter "S," and a stick figure representing a trail sign. To earn the badge, a Scout must learn about different signaling techniques, including Morse code, American Sign Language (ASL), and semaphore. The badge also covers other forms of communication such as Braille, trail signs, and traffic signs.

Ordered Chinese food tonight, and the person on the other end called it "bwokwee" and it tickled me to no end. I'm sure my Mandarin pronunciation of anything vegetable would be far worse.
