I don't have anything for today's photo prompt so here's a deer. One of the many that used to come in our backyard.
A deer with antlers looking at the camera. A sunny yard. Some red flowers close to the camera.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

Atlas
A living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours.

A small stained glass window (depicting the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence) surrounded by clear glass in diagonal grid. Through it we see  trees and a river (Hudson River). Location is the Met Cloisters in the northern tip of NYC.

Much hoiking of hefty cheeses around on shoulder-held sledges, deal making via hand claps, VIP guests and general merriment in front of the weighhouse for the benefit of the assembled crowds.

the common negative reactions to @bsky38.com we saw were: - this is cringe - it's a trap or a scam - they're harvesting data - popularity contests are stupid - this won't be scientific - influencers are stupid - i have the top 38 blocked - this will hurt feelings - ai slop - who cares
