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"

#Caturday Tilly the elderly loafing on a stool to keep me company while I had breakfast. Yesterday she was very interested in my hair and grooming me. She then deployed meowing for strokes and clawing my scalp if I stopped.

Why is the BBC news giving sofree publicity for a book he's promoting? It's not news. It was on Radio 4 news too. I just don't really care what a posh man said about his dead ex wife 30 years ago. This post at least has something vaguely current (press & MM), but the rest were tosh

Hookland should twin with Cleveleys in Lancashire which has this art from the local council. There's a stone maze too and they gave every school child a book about the petrified forest that was washed away by the sea, presumably so they would have dreams of drowning.

Though vegetables are the headline, this will affect beer too, as needed crops are going to be smaller. And as it means food for animals for meat is also going to be scarce, prices will be higher. Maybe the climate sceptics will sit up and listen now www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
