She's doing great! All done with meds, but still on her prescription food which she is very demanding about 😂

Guys!!! I’ve been sitting in this news for a while now, but so excited to finally be able to share!!! 🥳😃 (It’s on BookBrunch which is behind a paywall hence the photos!)

Musk thinks he's bought the position of 'Trump Best Friend'. I think he will soon discover he's only paid the deposit. The full President's best friend pack will be a pricey subscription. But pay he probably will, because his new best friend has the power to destroy 98% of musk's wealth at a stroke.

"OK lads, we've arranged everything for this family-friendly festival that's happening in Kettering. Now we just need to pick a wildly inappropriate name"

Happy Monday from warhound Baldur, who isn’t really sure if he’s ready to face the week but hopefully you are!

Happy Monday from the hounds of war and cuddles, one of whom is absolutely ready to tackle the week and the other who would just rather curl up in bed. Which one is your mood? :-)

Oh Vimesy 🥰

My bro is on a 24 hour stream for @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social so go give him a hello and make him delete something from Destiny with a donation : www.twitch.tv/halcyonovers...

… but… Reform being perceived as a viable alternative to anything is a problem. It’s like electing the Superglue A Fart To Your Eye Party. You’re not going to get what you signed up for and you are going to need medical assistance.

All the cardinals gearing up for a big banterous conclave

Okay, so this is amazing… but when you’ve read it…

Barnes & Noble in Georgetown with a stark “Bohemian Rhapsody”-referencing book display this weekend.

When we had a psycho anti human rights freak crash the economy we live streamed a lettuce with a face and then she went away. Maybe they should try that

Let's talk about Cal Sounder... (Sleeper Beach coming April 10th in the UK)

For those of us who remember Night by Elie Wiesel, reading this article was a chilling callback to that book. Same themes, same patterns. Raise hell with your congresspersons. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This does appear to be true. Even with 150k followers, any post now gets a few hundred *views*, which does make any sense, unless it's repressed because I repeatedly call out Elon Musk for being a thick-as-mince delicate snowflake pretengineer weird eugenics-aligned ket-fueled incel untermensch.

The tuskens are taking over another comic con!

“All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered.” ― Kenneth Grahame, author of one of my most beloved books, The Wind in the Willows, was born #OTD in 1859

Genuinely though I’m sickened by last night’s display. The US is no longer an ally

Happy Friday from the hounds of war and cuddles and the one brain cell that they share between them :)

It's honestly surprising Trump hasn't started a hunger games yet

Good night, dear Kindred Spirits. Tonight I will leave you with this illustration by Deborah Hocking

It’s not ninja/hacker hybrids in biotech weapons suits doing dark deeds in smoky urban sprawls, it’s more like one of the Hangover sequels is set on Capital Hill, but with moody steel lighting and 90s costume design.

Romeo, winded: What news? Friar Laurence: *scratches head* Ah, can't really think of anything. *Romeo rushes out* Friar: Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Juliet. The fake-poison chosen especially to fake-kill Juliet. Juliet's poison. I probably should've mentioned that.

I think about this all of the time nowadays. When we learned history, we learned a date as though an entire country suddenly woke up on a Tuesday and decided to change. The reality of it is much longer.

Ghost is solidly refusing to believe that it's not still Christmas. Smart rattie.

"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Brilliant Question Time audience contribution 👏

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone saying people shouldn’t have a choice, but rather agreeing to choice could raise other safeguarding issues like Liz Carr discusses here 👇🏽

Plum was gently helped across the bridge yesterday. She was a big strong gorgeous rat who was loved by all. A gentle soul with the heart of a capybara. She loved to eat snacks in quiet places ♥️ Aurora Plum 08/07/2022-21/11/2024

Which way will the fanboys fall once the Trusk (Mump?) 'ship fails? Musk simps are often average intelligence people that think they're smart, much like Trump. While Trumpists are extremely stupid people that think they're smart. Like Musk. It could be the next Team Edward/Jacob T-shirt opportunity.

Musk thinks he's bought the position of 'Trump Best Friend'. I think he will soon discover he's only paid the deposit. The full President's best friend pack will be a pricey subscription. But pay he probably will, because his new best friend has the power to destroy 98% of musk's wealth at a stroke.

Playing the Ankh-Morpork board game for the first time in ages. Definitely one of the best board games ever designed, even without the Prattchett tie-in. It is no longer available, and copies are going for mad prices. This is the special edition with wooden pieces.

Japanese artist Yutaka Murakami (1936-2022). This guy really understood cats.

So, Musky is inciting nazi hatred against the UK now, because our Prime Minister correctly said social media is used to coordinate these riots. It's incredible how much he is enabling people who pretend they have a valid point, but attack a hard working shop keeper purely because of his ethnicity.

Him so ugly him cute. Happy Friday from warhound Baldur, who hopes that you have a wonderful weekend :)

I tend to watch a YouTube vid, then see if there's anything in the 12 suggestions to watch next. I have noticed that the YouTube algorithm has started to make some bizarre, random, usually low viewcount suggestions for slot three, bottom left. Here's a couple just from today. I never risk a click 😁

Ok, this was a total cheat, a car was going past, so I took advantage to light up the foreground a little. I think the result was great though. Some insane aurora today across the country, some of the best in 20 years.

Aaaaand.... the downside to aurora chasing. Incredibly strong aurora activity recorded 3-8pm, so I headed out to a spot I thought might be good once it got dark. 2 hours of standing round in a field, nothing 😁, it had dropped to zero. I did find a potentially good N/NW view for future aurora.

A bit of random aurora chasing tonight, got some unusual purple shades.

Definition of normal: Thing we compare reality against.

That's why I own a couple of these:

Bleh, a rather local lightning strike just before 3am took out power to the area, and telecomms. It also fried the router and wall socket of the house next door that we share a pole with, and our net is down to 1mbps. Power came back ten hours later, but the phone and net is clearly a bit buggered.

Some rough security stills of a garden visitor about 8:35pm today. Didn't stay for long.

Misty Thurso seafront, midday today. Feels like its a hundred years ago.
