Unbelievable. I told the Sky News guy to fuck off with his questions and now *that* is the story.

London Underground and a pigeon flying

Bird in The Window

I'm very pleased with the outcome of this pigeon puddle photo taken at Barons Court London Underground station. I love that it's a multiple reflection shot, puddle and window!

More websites should approach UI design like Wikipedia: find something that works and stick with it for a while. Much rather use a good design from a decade ago, than a UI that is chopping and changing to keep up with the latest trends.

Once, many years ago, on the second day, after more than twelve hours of an eight player game, this card was drawn and the player literally flipped the game board. #Talisman

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

If comets are like cats, and planetary scientists have been studying domestic cats, tigers, leopards, jaguars, etc., of our solar system for many years, then comet 3I/ATLAS barges in like a serval or ocelot on an unbound e=6 orbit from somewhere else 😂. But it still purrs and scratches
