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"

After what happened to Derby and their 27 point deduction for a lot, lot, less than this ridiculous Man City situation, (and Sheffield Wednesday too), the Premier league had better punish Man City severely.⚽

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Plume-toed Swiftlet (Collocalia affinis). Can be differentiate from Mossy-nest Swiftlets by undertail coverts - blackish with white fringing. They do not echolocate so I was surprised to find them deep in the cave. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Sarawak #Malaysia @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

A map of records of migrating Nutcracker - seemingly all Slender-billed (machrorhynchos) - from Southern Sweden in the last week. Also this great video of 48 migrating SW at Falsterbo today. Definitely something afoot with this species this autumn... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol-I...

Semipalmated Sand (right) stands out structurally, appearing hunch-backed when feeding. Contrast with flat-backed 1st sum Western Sand in Ayrshire from last year. Note neat brown streaking on breast sides of Semi-p & dark crown contrasting with white super to create capped effect 3/3 #ukbirding

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,
