And so it begins: a season of colder weather for a lot of folks, and very soon featuring lights, decorated trees, and hot cozy drinks! Marsha loves all of that, as seen here in a greeting card we offered back in 2016.

On one hand this is utterly fantastic and hearing about it has raised my spirits...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

As someone whose followed recipe sites before the AI-geddon, here's some links to human run cooking blogs:

barefeetinthekitchen.com
www.budgetbytes.com

diethood.com

Man...I remember when having to scroll past the stories was the frustrating part of recipe sites...

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0
