It gets worse:

Excerpt from The Irish Times:

"Still, the idea that thousands of Floridians, of whatever political and ideological hue, are rushing to object to this and that title is not the case. It has emerged that more than 60 per cent of all challenges to books across the United States came from 11 people.

Florida’s most prolific objector is Bruce Friedman from Clay County, who has sponsored one third of all challenges in the state and for more than 90 per cent of those in his district, leaving the Clay County school board addled with the sheer volume and energy of his approach. During one school meeting he was escorted from the podium after repeatedly trying to read excerpts from a novel about the opioid crisis to substantiate his point.

Friedman is a bibliophile and argues that his objections are founded in his determination that “all lessons in all schools” will “respect innocence”. One member of the school board has publicly taken his side, maintaining that every book banned was “filthy, filthy pornography” and pointing out that “people who tell you different have not read the books, period”."

It's starting to feel like I'm talking to the walls ... is this thing even on?

I'm confused. Rainbow lorikeets have blue heads, so why aren't there blue feathers included in this sample? Does their blue come from iridescence, or is it structural like a macaws would be? Does anyone know?

Something about the conditions right now is amplifying every furnace fan, car engine, snow blower, creating this incredibly loud background noise in my normally very quiet neighbourhood.

Ilkyū had a pet sparrow he raised from a chick. He regarded the bird as a dharma attendant. One day, sparrow died unexpectedly. In his grief, Ikkyū gave the bird a dharma name Sonrin 尊林 (“revered forest”, see below) and a proper burial. I find this moving. Translation by J. Sanford, “Zen-Man Ikkyū”

So over the course of the night I got 4 different panorama of this Tahu-nui-ā-Rangi Aurora Australis (southern lights). Yes Kp peaked at 7, but it was the strong negative (Bz) factor that made this event insane. Up to 175° wide & 90° vertical, truly incredible

My cat has all the stealth and grace of a slam dancer in a mosh pit. She's pacing the house and slamming her feet *bang bang bang* on the hardwood floor.
