Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Season 6 of the #EIO40MusicLeague is due to start soon, and there’s space for new players if you fancy a go. Just involves picking 1 new song each week, then ranking the best 5 songs from the 10 others in your league. Repeat for 10 weeks, simple as that! Let me or @indieover40.bsky.social know.

The last 16 albums at the quarter final stage. I’ve gone for Closer just ahead of Head on the Door in my ranking, but it could easily vary. Again I’ve put the Smiths 4th due to the competition, although personally I’d have excluded it for being a compilation of sorts.

The last 16 albums at the quarter final stage. It’s Pixies and Doolittle for my top spot out of these 4. I keep putting the Smiths albums 4th even though I do like them, I’m just not a huge fan of the studio albums and the competition is strong.

The last 16 albums at the quarter final stage. It’s again the Cure for my top spot, and Disintegration is my favourite from all 16 so hoping/expecting to reach the final 4 but you never know, a lot of competition from popular bands.
