Just hitting me that Star Trek: Zero Point #1 comes out on Wednesday! Which means that soon many many secrets I've been holding onto will be public knowledge and people will be FREAKING OUT.
(In a good way I hope!!!)

Report: "Netanyahu’s former aide alleges attempt to alter 7 Oct records"
"Avi Gil says Netanyahu shelved a captive exchange deal & that his chief of staff tampered with records on the morning" of Oct 7.
"Gil said Netanyahu had abandoned possible opportunities to secure the captives' return because an agreement threatened his governing coalition."
"Some of those people later died in captivity."

I really hate the access control on Fediverse quote posts. If you have a public post and you opt out of quotes, the following are possible:
The following are not possible:
For private and follower-only posts, controls over quoting should be limited to options that extend the permitted access (for example: my followers can post this follower-only post as a follower-only quote post and then the transitive closure of my followers will be granted access). The current model added a load of code churn to ActivityPub implementations with zero benefit.

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey @farah are they having a giraffe?!
The stairs in the foyer of Rådhuset is my favourite stairs. (This is the Fediverse, so I assume everyone has a favourite stairs.) Aside from the design, I like the way it frames Aarhus City Hall’s foundation stone.
I thought I knew it well, but only learnt this week that there’s a time capsule buried beneath it. A lead pipe with documents, coins and newspapers of the day. Laid in 1938. Little knowing that Nazis would be occupying the city before construction was finished.

There is an elderly woman I know who lives in shelteted housing above the woodlands that slope down to the Don River. I met her through her husband, a retired merchant seaman, whom I often met out walking. I haven't seen him in years.
She told me stories from when she was a young girl: they lived in a neighbourhood near Footdee, one of the areas where later all the homes were razed to build the oil port. Her mother would take them walking across the Don, over the Brig 'o Balgownie and up to Scotstown Moor, where they would collect firewood and bring it home. As a reward the children got to split a cone of chips.
Yesterday she was at the supermarket, quietly approaching the checkout queue with a small armful of things. I saw her and made sure she got into the queue in front of me. She was surprised and grateful, and when I asked her how she was she looked a bit startled. Then I asked if she still fed the foxes. That got a big smile, and in a happy voice she declared, oh yes, and the big badgers too, the fox gets a chicken leg, every night. When she had left, the checkout person and I agreed that this was a fine way to be old.
As it happens, I had also met a colleague doing surveys of the red squirrels earlier that day, and another colleague peacefully watching the grebes.
So by the end of the day, I had news of the badgers, the foxes, the red squirrels, the seals, the pine martens, and the otters, all along the Don. No word from the bats, mice, other mustelids, let alone the shrews, but it will do for the mammals.
I cannot understand how, in the face of such ordinary and joyous entanglement between humans and other people of the area, we created a monstrous society around commodification and extraction. I am glad it is dying.
@yetiinabox my mind was in Russia, along the Don, then abruptly shifted to Scotland!
