A badly written poem for you, from me. 🤘🏻

@lety

Cake forks have three tines, which is ideal for cake but too little for everything else.

Neptune’s trident also has three tines, which is ideal for impaling the unworthy, but is too big for eating. Also too sharp. Please do not attempt to eat with Neptune’s trident.

So I suspect there is more than the number of tines to defining the optimal fork.

Also, I got to use tines in a post (fuck you Apple, no I did not mean ‘times’, stop auto ‘correcting’ a valid word to a different and wrong word) which makes me happy because it is a fun word.

OMG. How have I never heard the 'Rockstar' album by Dolly Parton? The covers and duets are phenomenal. Her husband, Carl, always wanted her to record a rock album, and she did it. And it is everything.

She covers "Stairway to Heaven" to "We Are the Champions" to "Heart of Glass" to "Purple Rain." All phenomenal.

@gedankenstuecke They're totally having an easier time with this than we did 😅

#ClimateDiary I watched my village disappear in an instant.

“When I finally reached someone — an elder brother’s house — it was his wife who answered. “There’s nothing left in the village,” she said simply. “Most of the people are gone.”

I couldn’t make myself believe it. Sole and Tupche sit nearly a hundred metres above the riverbed. No flood in living memory — in centuries, as far as anyone knew — had ever reached that high.” #Nepal #Glacier

Well that’s a nice response, thanks! Here’s another old concept speed painting, a stratospheric encounter, 2012-ish.

@randahl It will still be Lake Ontario long after trump is gone, and good riddance!

Belle pleine lune éclipsée à + de 96%, derrière le second phare de Penmarc'h ce matin.

J'espère que mon rendez-vous de ce soir, avec encore la pleine lune, entre les deux tours de la cathédrale Saint-Corentin sera aussi propice que derrière le phare…

Currently one of the most popular headlines in the media seems to start with the phrase: 'Burnham retreats from [fill in issue/commitment of choice]'.

For those who thought Andy Burnham was merely Keir Starmer in a T-Shirt this will offer further confirmation of the cynicism; for those hoping Burnham's accession would lead to a turnaround for Labour this may be a worrying sign; and for supporters of the Green Parties (GPEW & SGs) this is confirmation that *they* are the (new) Left.

Another beacon of hope - we need to keep restoring these, not just because we've taken so much from nature (particularly in this country), but because these reservoirs don't just give biodiversity a fighting chance in the future, it can help us in the here and now. Wetlands in particular are vital protections against both flooding and drought.

And if you go to another Share Kai event (other than the Palestine ones) the proceeds go to the refugee women who run the Cooks Collective, which is also worth supporting

Ōtautahi folks, highly recommend getting along to a Share Kai for Palestine event. Not just for the food but also because it's where you see this city's community at its best.

This was $35 with all proceeds going to Gaza

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/

But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2

I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :)

@ctietze haha, I think DHH is predisposed for evil mode. There would be a robust allergic reaction if he tries something else :D
