Before the 'Columbian Exchange', where Europe & the Americas swapped the products of centuries of agricultural domestication, European food was very different: Italian food without tomatoes. German, Irish food minus potatoes. Spanish food sans peppers. So what DID they have? How about SKIRRET?

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Seagulls are smart alright. This seagull in Turkey waits by a cat food dispensing machine and meows so passersby might press the button to get it some food.

Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English — to prove that Italians would just love any American song. It was a hit.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Smoky air is finally gone so having tea on the balcony with cats. I’m increasingly certain that Bean is annoyed when it’s not hot enough out. Sits stiffly giving me dirty looks. Can’t seem to relax. I think she thinks it’s my fault. Why can I not just summon the heat for her pleasure? (It’s 20C)

Second day back bouldering after a month off due to work, travel, and general busyness. And a very good climb it was! Not for the first time I’m finding time off can be helpful. Popped a callous after 20 minutes though 🤦🏻‍♀️ so called it a day early.

In 1995, divers near the Ryukyu Islands off Japan spotted these elaborate mandala-like art in the sand of the ocean's floor. They were elaborate 2 meter wide sculptures with fluting, shell ornaments placed at ridges, sand sorted by granularity, both consistent in design & unique. (📷: BBC Earth)

Creepy new pastime constantly refreshing the air quality site hoping the long term smoke forecast has shifted. Next week so far looking promising (though by no means normal) 😬
