I've been getting a lot of subscription price-increase emails lately, and it feels like just yesterday I got the same messages from the same services. This isn't sustainable en masse, especially with the cost of food and everything else still going up. I expect all of this will cause the […]

For a second there, I thought China shipped their Pandas to the U.S. in TV boxes. 😅 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/se…

A person in a white full-body protective suit with blue straps stands facing a large cage that looks like a TV box showing a giant panda walking through grass. The image on the cage displays logos for Zoo Atlanta and a panda icon in the upper left, with text reading "Ping Ping" at the bottom right. The person appears to be viewing or working with the cage in an indoor facility.

Why does the COVID vaccine make my arm more sore than the Flu vaccine in the other arm? Is it the nanobots that's the Illuminati and Bill Gates put in it that's designed to track, monitor, and control me? Probably.

You can now easily find and remove duplicate notes in @recollect. I added this because I ended up with a lot of duplicates after importing bookmarks and notes from various app. #PWA #IndieDev

Screenshot of a Settings panel in Recollect showing the Notes section, with options to remove unused tags, manage duplicate notes (currently moving 50 of 150 copies to trash), and download all content as a zip file.

Only a couple of #Birds this time. In this post, three from Aotearoa and one from Greece.

A soggy little shag near Nugget Point. This black and white bird is sitting on rocky ground in light rain, with out-of-focus water behind.

A kotare/sacred kingfisher sitting on a power line. It is intently looking to the right. It has some turquoise wings and a bit of turquoise on top of its head, but is otherwise dark grey, with feathers around its neck that look like a white collar.

A hoary-headed grebe at Lake Elterwater. It is swimming in the lake and is mostly grey with brown chest. Looks like it has slicked back its hair with gel.

People on iNaturalist tell me that this large feather came from a short-toed snake eagle. The feather is brown and white and on top of a rock, with short brown grasses beside the rock.

Zero complaints about my office today. I'm on the back porch at my parents' overlooking Pikes Peak in Colorado. It's a long stay dealing with family stuff, and I still need to get work done, so I'm making the best of it.
