The Pinnacles at sunset. Having previously scouted this location, I knew it would be ideal for a sunset shoot. The weather, tides, and motivation aligned for an amazing picture and an unforgettable evening. #photography #landscapephotography #sunset #philipisland #australia

I’ve made a couple of smug posts about how fragile is democracy and the rule of law in the US as Musk goes about shredding everything. But then I had a think and remembered that whenever an Australian government is found to have done something illegal absolutely nothing happens.

First open home was this morning. First panic attack over the sale was last night. No, I don't know what comes after this. Yes, I know the market isn't good right now. I am afraid, and uncertain, and trying let go of the anxiety of not being in control. Interesting times.

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil: "The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight." www.reddit.com/r/labrats/co...

The Internet was supposed to, and is supposed to be, for things like me finding the Malla Purana preserved and shared online in Sanskrit. That transmission and preservation of knowledge. Not for hate and fuckery. Also, for someone's recipe for a pumpkin spice milkshake.

"Ultimately, it's like the Internet that I grew up on and loved is long gone," Aaron told Ars. "I'm just fed up, and you know what? Let's fight back, even if it's not successful. Be indigestible. Grow spikes." Love live the tarpit. Let AI and its griftlords choke. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Never forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion. So much for “making cities better…” Via @wsj.com

Here's the garden in its sale- ready dress. I had such wonderful designs for the garden, but without the deep pockets to scalp the site of gravel and poisoned dirt, they remain a daydream.
