The squirrel is on the squirrel feeder, just outside my front window, again. Horrible is standing just inside the window, staring at the squirrel with fascinated longing.
Sorry, Horrible. That window isn't ever going to open.

Rather poor photograph, taken with my phone from my bed (apologies for the poor quality), of a red sqirrel feeding from a squirrel feeder, while a grey cat, inside the window, looks on. They're about 40 centimetres — and two panes of glass — apart.

We share one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. **Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls.

A wooden sailboat with it’s mast been put down on the upper deck. Laying in the water in a marina. The photos is taken with a wide angle lens and shows a lake behind the boat with forest in the background. The sky has some greyish-blue clouds and a patch of sky in the background.

I don't think the American media will ever learn. The day they 'resist' as they are taken off the air by the fully authoritarian regime they'll probably say something like:
"today, in a controversial act, the administration declared that this news channel broadcast license has been changed. The new license will only allow reruns of the Presidents past speeches to play 24/7. After an immediate stay was requested by this station, the Supreme Court has ruled the change to be lawful. Goodnight America.”

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Britain is broken, in various ways. Could adopting bitcoin help it bounce back?
Renegade Investor thinks so.
Central banks printing money causes government debt and artificially low interest rates. Their monetary policy is political and done for bankers not for people.
Bitcoin monitory policy is fixed.
Lockdown during pandemic was funded by money printing, and caused a big inflation pump and government debt increase. It caused the current cost of living crisis.
Lockdown could have been impossible under a bitcoin standard.
In pounds the cost of living has gone up lots over the last decade. But in bitcoin it's gone down massively.
He thinks wealth redistribution is taking money from productive people and giving it to those who aren't increasing the country wealth. Here I disagree entirely. Wealth is reality being taken from the workers and given to the capital owners. We are redistributing wealth towards the rich currently. Taking the wealth created by workers to give to idle owners.
I also wonder, would limited government power be good? Did the lockdown save lives? Would it do do under a worse pandemic? Limited government power may be double edged.
Not sure why he thinks immigration is funded by government, rather than immigrants increasing the country wealth. Seems to think bitcoin could reduce immigration, which I find unbelievable and undesirable.
This talk I disagree with quite a lot.

thumbing through used records at underground sounds, found b.b. king's very first LP, a 1957 compilation of hit singles from 1951 to 1956. fifteen bucks. wow.
the recording quality is not great to begin with, and it's pretty scratchy after almost seventy years, no skips, though ... oh wait i take that back, still, a real find!

This photo captures a classic blues vinyl album being displayed in front of a record collection.

The Album: "Singin' the Blues" by B.B. King - a vintage record with a cream-colored cover featuring bold pink script lettering and yellow text. The cover shows B.B. King in a formal dark suit, smiling broadly while holding his guitar. The image has that wonderful vintage quality typical of early blues recordings.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Bdelloid rotifers are a microplankton that reproduce using parthenogenesis (female clones), but when environmental conditions become adverse (e.g. pond dries up), they can turn themselves into an extraordinaryly resistant inert "tun" through a process called cryptobiosis (like brine shrimp). Recently, Russian scientists thawed out

image/jpeg a series of 6 microscopic photos shows the revival of a dried inert form of a dark orange rotifer. The organism gradually extends into the adult form which is elongated with a pointed tail and ciliated mouthparts at the head. Stills from video taken by Christian Colin.

That's how our hike at the #mummelsee started ... and how it was when we were up there. - But the walk was quite okay.
We checked the rain radar and decided to go back down rather quickly. We leveraged our rain gear and it did not disappoint us! 🙂
So we didn't see the area atop - the so called

Perched atop a densely forested hillside, a quaint observation tower and building overlook a tranquil scene. The lush, evergreen forest—rich with deep greens and hints of lighter foliage—cascades down toward a calm, reflective lake below. The sky above is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light that mutes the colors into soothing tones, creating an atmosphere of quiet serenity.

A quiet, winding trail meanders through a lush forest, inviting exploration into its verdant depths. Towering trees, their trunks a mix of muted browns and grays, stretch upward to form a dense canopy overhead, filtering the soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the path. The forest floor is a tapestry of earthy tones, with scattered stones and roots peeking through a bed of pine needles and fallen leaves.

To the right, a rocky slope is adorned with vibrant green moss and delicate ferns…
Shrouded in a veil of soft, misty gray, a solitary stone tower rises from the foggy highlands, its rugged silhouette blending seamlessly with the muted tones of the overcast sky. The tower, sturdy and timeless, is accompanied by a quaint building with a green-tinged roof, its wooden bench inviting weary hikers to rest. The gravel path leading to the structure hints at countless journeys taken, each step a story of adventure and exploration.

A misty veil of soft gray clouds lingers over this tranquil mountain lake, creating an air of quiet mystery. The dense forest, a lush tapestry of evergreen pines and scattered deciduous shrubs, frames the still waters below. Vibrant green foliage contrasts subtly with the muted tones of weathered rocks in the foreground, adding texture to the scene.

The lake itself rests peacefully, its surface barely disturbed, reflecting the muted light filtering through the overcast sky. A faint outline of …

"King" Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,”
or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolšs Maduro.
This would allow the CIA to conduct “lethal operations in Venezuela”
as well as “a range of operations in the Caribbean,” according to the Times.
Covert action could be taken “either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation.”

The Trump administration announced on Tuesday an aggressive plan to continue dismantling the Education Department,
ending the agency’s broad role in supporting academics at elementary and high schools and in expanding access to college.
Those responsibilities, which had been overseen by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Postsecondary Education,
