Watching Sandman on DVD - bizarre mixture of bonkers of 'mashed up' genres, combining mythic, pseudo-religiousness, campness & violence that to me does not know what it is supposed to be. Probably worked better on paper! Some nice actors though & many British. Don't quite know how i feel about it!

A Sunday without #lablit in the reviews I saw... but been designing & executing a Yule card which has swallowed my day. Then my printer ran out of ink. At least I have time to send them & that won't be rushed... When I have posted them all (I send about 60) later this week,I will share it here...

It's really quite tragic.

aha! yes...

What about using them to eat atmospheric methane?

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

One Day All This Will Be Yours by Adrian Tchaikovsky (HC).

Head by the Ceiling by Anthony Shieh

Which one to pick after my current read? One has a dino on the cover (which is cool) and the other is one of several Filipino horror books to be pubbed this year. Choices, choices..

The UK cover of WHAT WE CAN KNOW

Just finished this, Ian McEwan’s latest. Engrossing, thought-provoking and especially relevant to someone who has just written a biography and spent a lot of time thinking about archival evidence. Nice to see Richard Holmes’ excellent FOOTSTEPS getting a good mention. Highly recommended.

Something I could look at for the BeeBeeC.

Despite this it is obvious that the downward meanders are avoiding the British isles & rather more affecting the larger land masses, while upward loops are warming the Arctic sea...

IPCC report: ‘Code red’ for human driven global heating, warns UN chief Climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying, and some trends are now irreversible, at least during the present time frame, according to the latest much-anticipated Intergovernmental Panel on...

Better to say Global Heating eg news.un.org/en/story/202... Climate change if used should be prefaced by 'anthropogenic' or 'human caused'

yes - when you look out of the window you see weather, when we ALL look out of the window we see climate.

Your Amazon Order of Reusable Metal Straws Is Currently on Its Way Via the Most Ecologically Devastating Route You Could Imagine SHIPPED: Your Amazon Order of GaiaGulp Earth-Friendly Metal Straws and EcoGO Reusable Shopping Bags is on its way to you in Chicago. You’ve opted t...

"The biplane carrying your order is en route, but the hatch malfunctioned mid-flight, and one of your metal straws fell into a jungle. It’s not all bad news, though. A local bonobo population worked out how to use the straw for things like foraging, grooming, and war."

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I passed a three volume Icelandic Heimskringla to friends to check with a bookbinder & leather would've been upwards of £500 - seems they can do cloth for about £100 per volume... chunk out of my book budget! The books'll long outlive me though #booksky

read what I have, & not get distracted by the latest thing? Is it like Sysiphus perhaps? Or painting the Forth Bridge [though I think modern paint means they do not have to continually do that]

Why do I feel I have to stuff my head only for all that to go when I die?
