Dear Interwebbers, Please take this & meme TF out of it.

.."This is now a familiar routine. Palestinians living in these villages south of Nablus say there are attacks and confrontations on their lands every week, and that settlers are using these kinds of tactics to take over the land, field by field."

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This stunning lad, ringed as ZA6 and nicknamed “Drayton”, ended up grounded and needed a rescue. He has since been flying well along with his 3 siblings #peregrinefalcon #ornithology #birds #ukbirds vimeo.com/1091013906

Watched #Ocean yesterday. Took tissues for the gut-wrenching parts but managed to hold it together! Fingers crossed we protect 30% of marine areas by 2030 #30x30. Only 21 of the required 60 countries have ratified vs. signed so far.. treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDe... [Image by Andy Schmid, 2023]

So much to love here.

Go full-screen for the first watermelon spacewalk over the poles filmed by f2.com (the ISS only orbits west>east & never sees the poles). X video: x.com/satofishi/st... (SpaceX & Chun's $$$ took them there!)

Yesssss!

Seriously multitasking this week but logged on just in time to watch her stand for a moment surveying the city then step down & gently manoeuvre her 3 eggs underneath her & lie down. What a privilege to watch. Thank You @uniofleeds.bsky.social sustainability.leeds.ac.uk/our-work/bio...

Old enough to understand why the 'Save' icon is what it is.

Pleeeeeeease. Stop ❌ Using commas followed by 'and' 😣!?

One thing I've learnt about social media is it's best NOT to follow anyone & just let chance (self-emergence) do its thing.

Just stunning. Congrats Firefly 🏆 Blue Ghost Mission 1 #Firefly Aerospace. A top-down shot of the thrusters (centre) & radiator panels on each side, captured in its 3rd lunar orbit, Feb 24, 2025, about 100 km above the far side. Videos: www.flickr.com/photos/firef...

Dear Advertisers (TV) I pay extra for the joy of fast-forwarding but when I'm forced to sit through your crap you should know that I mute my TV & close my eyes, concentrate on my Grandfather clock & zone out completely. Till you stop. Doubt I'm the only one.

Enough doom & gloom @georgemonbiot.bsky.social We survived 2008. Its extreme weather we need to prepare for, but folks won't till their house burns/blows down or falls into the sea. We made movies about it!? Evolution baby. Survival of the fittest. Maybe start with the "Make friends..." part 😍

This is what I love about astrophysics. Perspective. We've already made a movie about this, but 2024 YR4 has a current 2.2% chance of impacting Earth, 22 Dec 2032 14:02 UT #DontLookUp en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_YR4

Uninstalled @microsoft.com M365 Co-Pilot - Earth's most annoying app! I have to put up with its "in-your-face" 😠😡🤬 crap UX every time I write an email at work, but not on my phone I don't.
