Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Only 4 hours left now!! Last chance, give it a like/share so no one misses out!

Because of AWS I couldn't have a shower this morning. (actually, that's because I regrouted the bathroom and it needs to dry, but thanks Geoff Amazon!)

This is just incredible A tiny, tagged Monarch butterfly has flown from Southern Ontario in Canada to *Oklahoma* in a couple of weeks, as part of their migration And they haven't got google maps open on their phones either, they just know where to go

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Presumably the mice will be bringing him "ancient" 80s and 90s artefacts this time around, like VHS tapes, old Sinclair computers, Giant heavy mobile phones, Pogs, shell suits, brightly coloured transparent visor hats...

Sooner or later they'll have the amazing idea of search/replacing "defence" for "war"...

@kenney.nl Hi! Do you have a preferred wording for crediting asset use in the credits? Something like "Contains graphics based on Kenney.nl assets" Also have you ever drawn higher res versions of the little characters in the 1bit sets? Thanks!
