The world is broken but the dik-dik is perfect

A wee baby dik-dik (weensiest antelope) drinking milk from a baby bottle because they are baby. This one is the babiest and makes life worth living to know they are alive. Holy fucking shit is it cute god damn

The same perfect teeniest antelope (which is a dik-dik) that's roughly 12 inches tall staring at the camera because they love you or would if they really KNEW you, the real you who is pure of heart deep down. A person's feet in slippers for scale

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Except the reason they're always white is because it has been common practice to require that in the planning permission system so they show up less against the sky.... Hence deliberately being less visible to birds.

I love that someone loves their fursona enough to tell the world

A bridge with a number of vertical pillars at (my) head height. On subsequent pillars, someone has written "I love my fursona".

On the next set of pillars along, someone has written "I love your maw", which doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's Glasgow for you.

I've spent today wondering which one of Burnham's advisors chose to shaft him over the 'no Irish referendum' thing. Not only is it legally beyond his competence - it's just a stupid remark to have made. All he had to do was keep his head down and his mouth shut. There were plenty of distractions.

That time we nearly killed a king... King Olaf V of Norway made a state visit to Scotland in October 1962, and, after all the official hoopla in Edinburgh, he headed for Glasgow.

A la @scalzi.com, here's my view from a hotel window (in Oban). No carpark, but I do have this lovely sunset view out to Kerrera and Mull.

After rationing them out for the past few years, I've finally come to the end of the wonderful Monstrous Agonies podcast. It's a late night advice segment of a radio station devoted to the "Creature Community" and is a joy to listen to.

So my reasoning is a bit more 'these are massive resource-heavy bits of infrastructure and the need for them is very likely a bubble, so let's be Very Strategic about what we allow and under what circumstances'. But i generally agree.

"Austerity FOMO is thus different from the general shock doctrine in at least one respect ... it is an attempt to fabricate a crisis which does not yet exist, at least not in the form it is being presented." Read the full blog post here: glasgow.web.ucu.org.uk/2026/07/22/w...
