A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

Gnarly Bristlecone pine with sunlight shining through branches.

Up at Schulman Grove, CA, today, amongst the ancient Bristlecone Pine trees with our @durhamearthsci.bsky.social MSci students. The trees, the oldest living organsims on the planet, have silently witnessed many civilisations rise and fall.

Hi Geoff, any of laser range finder, good binos, GPS, full set of half phi sieves down to 4 mm, field scales, packable drone (Mavic Pro or equiv), Panasonic Toughpad is amazing for mapping, large military style ruck sack.

Many thanks for the info - how long's the hike?

Great outcrop - how's the road down to it? Easily navigable?

I could cut down to 5 kebabs a week. No probs.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.
