Why world records seem to be getting harder to beat - according to maths New world records in some sports are remarkably elusive, yet in others they seem to fall regularly. There is a good mathematical reason why.

Rather than posts missing my feed seemed to be fine on skyfeed app but suddenly go blank, aside from the pinned post, after a refresh, so the feed looked empty on bluesky. Posts reappeared after I republished the feed. I only saw it happening Saturday, but it had been happening earlier, apparently.

I’m especially keen to showcase purpletufts, one of the grooviest and most underrated mistletoe specialist frugivores (sister to Tityras and becards)

I haven't used butter or spread for years. Don't feel the need for it. And peanut butter has butter in its name...

I don't remember it being this silly, but we need this sort of thing again.

The youtube maths puzzle channel I follow is good, but still too complicated for me...

A perfect Squirrel of the Day for October 6, 2025 #sqrlpix
(that paw tuck! 12/10)

Looking east, from Washburn Point, at the east end of Yosemite Valley, and the Sierra Nevada mountain range. You see huge, dramatic granite expanses, Half Dome, Little Yosemite Valley, Vernal and Nevada falls, Liberty Cap, etc. Scattered throughout are pine trees and olive green shrubs. Above all is a blue sky with fluffy clouds on the horizon.

I LOVE Washburn Point.

Less crowded than Glacier Point, and just amazing.

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Thank you MJBers, Kitty, in her new palace, and Moo, the architect. 📻
