🪶 Good Morning Everybody and Happy Sunday! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Seabirds; any bird found at sea or the coast Alt. is #Airborne; any bird in flight. - A Northern Gannet in flight #birds #ECK #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #SuperSeaBirdSunday #Stunday
A Nothern Gannet in flight across the sky. The bird is centre of the shot, to the right slightly and flying from right to left. 
It has a long pointed bill which is blue-grey in colour. Its black skin can be seen around the bill and eye. It has a yellowish colouration around the head and neck and a snowy white body. The outer half of its wings, which are in a downbeat, are black. 
The sky is a blend of blue and white, out of focus and featureless

Someone with skills needs to produce a mashup of Glory of Love by Peter Cetera with Fall Out Boy’s Dance Dance. It works in my head. Maybe nowhere else.

Always baffles me how the radio will play the words ‘cum on your lips’ in an Eminem track, but bleep out the word ass. Make it make sense. 🤷‍♂️

I used to listen to Radio 4 religiously, but haven’t for a while. I put the Today programme on this morning and lasted about 3 minutes listening to their inane ‘both-sides’-ing of an ongoing genocide as if it’s some difference of political opinion like tax on alcohol or energy price caps. 😡

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Lonely and disconnected, but disinclined to interact with humans. Community is both the cause of despair and the remedy thereof.

Jeremy Clarkson only got Cs and Us for his A-levels, as he delights in telling everybody on an annual basis. Presumably his N and T came later in life.

Genuinely gutted about Glen Hansard. He was so universally popular because he mastered the art of making every fan feel like they were the only one. A unique and unparalleled talent and a massive loss.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

we’ve reached a point where reading books, verifying information, and expanding your knowledge is sometimes labeled “elitist.” I don’t think curiosity should ever be something we’re ashamed of.

Termites and ants are natural enemies, yet these two colonies negotiated a border. Each side lines up its own guards. Neither crosses. Pure evolutionary math.

Freak on a Leash is 28 years old. The song, like the 3rd Millennium, started with much promise and quickly turned to shit.
