Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an District, Hangzhou is a viral attraction sometimes called "Matcha Lake" for the emerald green duckweed (subfamily Lemnoideae). These black swans (Cygnus atratus) & their cygnets are enjoying a nutritious buffet of aquatic plants. Let's learn about duckweed.

Spooky season continues: Let's meet the undertaker of the prairie, the American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus). They quickly inhume corpses they find, to... uh... keep them SAFE... for... uh, later. Protecting a dead bird or rodent or larger so they'll have enough food for their babies.💀🍽️

🧵US Weekly COVID update: Sep 28, 2026 🔸1 in 92 Actively Infectious 🔸532,000 Daily Infections 🔸3,810,000 Infections In The Past Week 🔸115,000,000 Infections in 2026 🔸191,000 to 760,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases 🔸900 to 1,700 Weekly Excess Deaths Source: pmc19.com

An infographic report titled "COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data & Standard Levels" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The top half displays a color-coded map of the United States and its territories, showing localized COVID-19 risk levels by county. A color key at the bottom categorizes standard CDC relative levels and PMC prevalence estimates (proportion actively infectious) into five tiers:
• Very Low (Blue, <0.9%)
• Low (Green, 1.2%)
• Moderate (Orange, 2.0%)
• High (Red, 2.9%)
• Very High (Purple, >3.5%)
Large portions of the Southern, Western, and Midwestern U.S. are shaded in dark pink/purple and red, indicating high to very high transmission levels.
Below the map, a text summary states that the US has at least 40 states and territories with COVID outbreaks, matching the previous week's count. It explicitly lists all 40 affected states and territories in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama and ending with Wyoming.

An infographic report titled "National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026. The data is broken down into three main sections:
• Infections: States that 1 in 92 people (1.1%) are actively infectious. It estimates 532,000 new daily infections, 3,810,000 infections in the past week, 115,000,000 infections in 2026, and a cumulative 5.43 infections per person.
• Long COVID: Estimates 27,000 to 106,000 Long COVID cases resulting from new daily infections, and 191,000 to 760,000 cases from new weekly infections.
• Excess Deaths: Estimates 130 to 230 excess deaths resulting from new daily infections, and 900 to 1,700 deaths from new weekly infections.

A data table titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The table lists U.S. states and territories alphabetically from Alabama to Mississippi. For each location, it tracks data across multiple columns:
• Standard CDC Level and Revised CDC Level (noting a downshift in categories).
• PMC Estimate % Actively Infectious: Provides ratios and percentages, such as 1 in 25 (4.0%) for California and 1 in 15 (6.7%) for Hawaii.
• Chances anyone is infectious in a room of 10 to 100 people: Columns show statistical probabilities for room sizes of 10, 25, 50, and 100 people. For example, in Hawaii, there is a 50% chance in a room of 10 and >99% chance in a room of 100.
A footnote states that on August 14, 2026, the CDC revised categorical descriptors downward without notice.

A data table titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
This page continues the alphabetical listing of U.S. states and territories from Missouri to Wyoming. It details:
• CDC Levels: Compares standard levels against a revised, downshifted CDC tier system.
• PMC Estimate % Actively Infectious: Lists current ratios and transmission rates. Highlights include Oregon at 1 in 25 (4.1%), Puerto Rico at 1 in 21 (4.8%), and the U.S. Virgin Islands at 1 in 16 (6.2%).
• Chances anyone is infectious in a room of 10 to 100 people: Shows probabilities for varying group sizes. For example, in Texas, the risk scales from 31% in a room of 10 up to 98% in a room of 100.
Footnotes indicate limited data reporting for some areas and reference a website regarding the CDC's August 2026 downward category revisions.

Strange clouds and quite eerie colours this morning on Glastonbury Tor. This photo was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise. It was quite misty on the ground and very hazy but still made for a lovely way to start the week.

I'm deep down the rabbit-hole on Göbekli Tepe, a Neolithic ritual site with these carved columns, the oldest known megaliths. And I love the carvings. ART from 10,000 years ago. This one (Pillar 12), my dear friends, is decorated with DUCKS. 😀🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Pillar 12, Enclosure C: ducks and boar
CREDIT: Dosseman - Wikimedia

"Building C feature at least two, more likely three, concentric walls. It has a round-oval ground plan and has a diameter of some 30 metres. As such, it is the largest of the excavated megalithic monumental buildings so far discovered at Göbekli Tepe. Its two central T-shaped pillars appear to have been destroyed in antiquity, when a large robber pit was excavated into the building and the two monoliths intentionally destroyed. It is still unclear when this destruction occurred, but most likely in the prehistoric (Neolithic?) period. Remarkable for this building and also for Building D, is that the two central pillars were slotted into two carefully carved pedestals. These pedestals had been worked from the natural limestone bedrock. The floor of this building is the equally carefully smoothed natural rock surface of the limestone plateau. The western central pillar was partially restored in 2009. On its left broad side there is the depiction of a large fox (in low relief). The bottom part of the eastern shaft was found in-situ, i.e. still inserted in its carved podest. This pillar is still preserved to a height of 2 metres, though its original height was probably around 5 metres. It appears that this pillar had also been subjected to burning at the time of the deliberate destruction, as testified by its flaky appearance. All other T-shaped pillars belonging to Building C are found at more or less regular intervals within the two inner concentric walls of the building. Eleven pillars have so far been found in the inner ring, while the second ring features seven pillars. This number would very likely increase if excavations were continued. It dates from the 10th-9th mill. BC"

Gracie Allen and George Burns having lunch in The Brown Derby Restaurant, Hollywood, California, 1951

In 1951, a famous photograph captured the legendary comedy duo George Burns and Gracie Allen having lunch inside the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. Located at 1628 Vine Street, the Vine Street Brown Derby was a premier Hollywood hotspot where stars gathered, famously known for the celebrity caricatures lining its walls. During this specific period, the married powerhouse couple was busy transitioning their massive radio success into the early golden age of television, having launched The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show on CBS just a year prior in late 1950.
