Five authors I've read at least five books by: @deannaraybourn.bsky.social @seananmcguire.bsky.social @nghivo.bsky.social @gailcarriger.bsky.social @jasperfforde.bsky.social @kevinhearne.bsky.social I know it's six. Be amazed I got the list down to six. It was hard.

This in Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio by the way. Could not love this any more :)

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

If you, like me, wanted to hear Adam Lambert sing the beginning of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, found a good clip here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6rd...

Based on the first episode, I can imagine they didn't know how to market it - but it has the potential to be good in a not standard issue MCU way. Agatha All Along did that. This might too. Give it a try.

This one is really enjoying it's bath. #birds

If you're looking to adopt a German Shepherd or Siberian Husky who will need some extra love and the Greater Boston area works as a location, here's the story for you. baypathhumane.org/322-days-in-...

Comments are open on the FDA’s disastrous decision to limit Covid vaccines to 65 and up

"Gosh, we could go back to the days when we all chatted on the village green and had church fetes" like you do realise we have literally an entire publishing genre of "British People Trapped With One Another Become Rapidly Murderous".

The East Coast Society for Creative Anachronism is huge into rapier. Last weekend for the first time they were allowed to use rapier instead of heavy armor with wooden swords to determine the East Coast heads. Somebody made a very pretty video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2GV...

A flicker in the bath is a rare occurrence... These birds are so striking in appearance - I love it when I capture one with the camera! (pesky sparrow!) #birds

A face-off between a cardinal and a junco. It looks like maybe the cardinal was able to drive the junco away.

Maybe you could use some nice birds in your feed.

The laughter is painful, but still laughing.

Check out the Wing Span... The chicks are growing by leaps and bounds! Sunny is on the left (wings aloft) and Gizmo is on the right. Take a note of the flight feathers on Sunny!

After using StoryGraph for several years, this thoughtful approach doesn't surprise me. They've made tracking and picking books a good experience without a lot of add-ons or tracking I don't want.

I'm not the only one flashing back to Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Ub...

Whatcha doin? Printing out my social security records on paper. Why? I've programmed COBOL.

HHS has a proposed change to the ACA that removes gender-affirming care from essential health benefits, and excludes DACA recipients from the ACA. The comment period closes 4/11 Some dope-ass people I know put together a site to help you comment. Plz share action.transequality.org/a/protecttra...

Robin taking a bath on the first day of spring.

@deannaraybourn.bsky.social When I read the name Carstairs, I cannot help but think of Mrs. Pollifax. It's probably a coincidence? But the older women spies element makes me wonder a tiny bit.

WUHSSTER! Was looking forward to this before, but now I am even more. @seananmcguire.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/inst...

I'd love to see short clips of some of her exchanges like the ones below in comments.

The first egg is hatching. If you get lucky, you can hear the little one peeping... (use YouTube - the Big Bear Bald Eagle website is buried - 21K viewers on YouTube at the moment) www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

What’s happening in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary! Mount Etna is erupting while its summit remains covered in snow—an incredible clash of fire and ice. Here are some explorers skiing between lava flows and snowy slopes—a truly unprecedented sight! ⛷🔥❄️

This parent is having a very bad day after a very bad night... Bald Eagle nest in California - there was howling snowfall last night - and this is what it looks like today. The pair have three eggs. More here: laist.com/news/climate...

If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...

Me too. I would play this.

Early this morning, during the snow-storm, in my back yard. This coyote or it's mate visits about once a week - maybe every couple of days - finally got another image of it. Isn't it gorgeous?

This is spectacular and worth every moment of your attention You will feel better after you watch this

The SCA is a hobby with a stated belief in chivalry and honor. Reality is messier. A satire blog about the messiness reminds past and present members of our better angels and how to draw on them at this moment - and to hold on. Well done @thescallion.bsky.social thescallion.blog/2025/01/21/t...

Success. Set out to catch the Moon occulting Mars - here's my capture of Mars just coming out from behind the moon, as seen from my house (near Boston, MA).

Sound on for the lapping noise

"...this show has done an impressive job of evolving from a show I barely tolerated to one I will seriously miss." @kradec.bsky.social summarizes my feelings about Lower Decks. That was a great finale. reactormag.com/tv-review-st...

AI is like many tools. The problem is how the humans use it. This use is a solid example of ways it can add instead of taking away. www.sciencenews.org/article/arti...

Watching this brings me a ludicrous amount of delight. Original is here - imgur.com/yexIMe0

Thank you @kateelliottsff.bsky.social and @marthawells.com because your posts about @rosemarykirstein.bsky.social's Steerswoman books are why I started reading them.

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen. We just want to make cool stuff for people. #indiedev #gamedev

It's Star Trek meets Marian Carey. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KvW...

Sure, social media has its downsides, but I cannot say enough good things about being able to see everybody's pets without having to leave my house or speak to a human first, really just knocked that one out of the park

Here's another visit of one of the skunks - they are coming just about every night.

I have this "trail-cam" in my backyard documenting the critters that visit the stone bird-bath. This is a 15 second video of two blue-jays - taking a bath. (Date on the image says Oct - but that's an error - it was Nov.)

@jahennrikus.bsky.social @maddieday.bsky.social @cleasimon.bsky.social @danacameron.bsky.social Maybe there are more SinC authors with female sleuths over here? Great idea for a list @msemilyedwards.bsky.social
