Existential awfulness in every direction as I read the news and scroll through here. Thankful for mountain blizzards and a few hours of distraction. #Scotland #Winter

Been quiet on here as Scotland has been busy delivering divine weather and I've been busy taking advantage of it! Big day out rock climbing in Glencoe yesterday and here's Neil enjoying the sunset on the way down.

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵
The front cover of a scientific journal titled Ornithologist, dated 1 April 2025. The main headline reads: “BIRDS: DECODED - Groundbreaking New Science.” Below that, a subheading says: “What are the UK’s birds really saying? Pioneering new research provides the answers.”

Took the big lad for his first view of the sea tonight. Squeaked his disappointment that he couldn't have a dip yet. Feeling a bit guilty for not rescuing but cat chills are required. Großer Munsterlander pup it had to be. Just lucked out that he's got a big auld Irish head like me.

Well, that's flown by. It's been a year since my Dad died. This week has been hard, just reliving all the trauma of this time 12 months ago. Still, I guess that's the price of love and he hasn't gone far. I hear his beautiful Galway lilt in my ear every day.

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...
A visual representation of global temperature change from 1900 to 2100, illustrating past and projected warming relative to 1850-1900 levels. The timeline includes historical data up to 2020, where temperatures were about 1.1°C warmer than pre-industrial levels. Future temperature changes are depicted under different emissions scenarios: very high, high, intermediate, low, and very low. The color scale ranges from blue (cooler) to dark purple (warmer). Human figures show the expected lifetime temperature exposure for individuals born in 1950, 1980, and 2020, reaching 70 years of age in 2020, 2050, and 2090, respectively. The diagram highlights how future climate conditions depend on present choices regarding climate change mitigation.

I'm getting close to the point of saturation today, but perhaps the one light in all this madness is, the sundering of America and launching Europe into war will ruin capitalism...can't see the greedy pigs allowing that to happen. Saved by capitalism, god help us.

A week of funerals and stomach flu though it started off well in Galway at least. Safe to say I'm doing very little today save looking after Sarah.

Yesterday I deleted my personal Facebook and Instagram accounts. I messaged a friend to say I was doing so and to get me via text if they needed me. Their response was that me doing so was meaningless in the whole scheme of things. That may be true but it's not meaningless to me. 1/3
