Beautiful clouds tonight.

A view over the edge of some flats to some light blue clouds that look like silver threads interweaving with each other.

4 panel comic by Smooth Dunk

First two panels are entitled “Journalist Visits Twitter”

Panel 1: Journalist is skipping happily through Twitter. Behind them, two people shout “Black people suck!” And “gay people suck”

Panel 2: Journalist continues to skip. Two more people shout “trans people suck” and “immigrants suck!”

The second two panels are titled “Journalist Visits Bluesky”

Panel 3: Journalist skips into bluesky and someone immediately shouts “YOU suck”

Panel 4: Journalist is crouched on the floor, absolutely devastated. In the foreground is a piece of paper that reads “Today, I went to hell”

A number of items in a waste bin including a notepad with the phrase 'you got this' printed on it.

Maths is cool, kids!

To call the humble riffle shuffle “complicated” sells it absurdly short. The number of possible arrangements for an ordinary deck of cards is 52 factorial — that is, 52 × 51 × 50 × … × 3 × 2 × 1, or (roughly speaking) an 8 followed by 67 zeros, close to the estimated number of atoms in our galaxy. Another way to put the figure into context: Every time you shuffle a deck of cards, you produce a configuration that has almost certainly never existed before, and never will again.

Always nice to bump into the neighbours.

Telling that this is in the alleged grey rather than left Vs right uk journalism:

The loose network also includes Konstantin Kisin, a libertarian podcaster who argued that the former prime minister Rishi Sunak was not English owing to his “brown Hindu” background.

Indeed.

One 13-year-old girl who took part in the consultation put it bluntly: “Instead of pushing a ban … just fix moderation, filters, age limits, etc. It’s not our fault that nobody is arsed to put their foot down and solve these problems.”

I'm sadly ineligible to this due to the sardine can requirement. (See thumb scar from when I nearly lost my thumb opening a cat food tin).

Thank you to the Facebook group people who identified this chap I rescuedv earlier as a Magpie Moth.

A moth with white wings, with a black and yellow colouring in bands at the top and middle, and bottom of the wings. It is perched on my finger above some grass, a bush and my feet.

I've just finished reading Beasts of the Sea by Ida Turpeinen it's a beautiful and heartbreaking book about the Steller's Sea Cow from its discovery/extinction to the display of one of the few skeletons in a Helsinki Museum. It's told through the eyes of various men and women through the centuries.

Book cover of Beasts of the Sea by Ida Turpeinen. The title is below a sea cow and above an old sailing ship on a stormy sea, with kelp on the left and right edges.
