Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

Continuing with the occasional nudibranch theme, here’s a couple from Anilao in the Philippines last month. Goniobranchus reticulatus and Hypselodoris tryoni. Definitely a place worth visiting if you like small creatures.

This deserves some sort of an award 🏆

www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f... I have so many questions. All I can think of is Spinal Tap and the cucumber.

Whenever I have doubts I ask myself WWJSD. What would Joe Strummer do? This is not the time to be dismayed my friends. This is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for.

No, Chris. No, it doesn't. Let John Oliver explain it to you like you're five:

In 2020, two men made an “Earth Sandwich”. One was in New Zealand and the other in Spain. At the exact same time, they each placed a slice of bread at precisely opposite points on the globe. This created an Earth Sandwich with 12,724 km of planet Earth stuffed between the two slices of bread.

Another nudibranch from about a month ago, Chromodoris willani. This one near Sipadan, Malaysia (Borneo).

Very happy with this nudibranch (Dermatobranchus ornatus). Spotted it at about 12 metres just off of Sepoi Island near Tioman, Malaysia

We live in an era guided by the Gospel of Optimization. We are bombarded by messages telling us to worship the gods of efficiency, life hacking our way to prosperity. It's a trap. Resilience is a smarter, sturdier goal. www.forkingpaths.co/p/against-op...

Any sign of AncientSubHunter from the hellsite over here yet? I always appreciated his posts.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

When I was 17, I worked in a factory in the centre of Manchester, behind the big Debenhams, that made and sold "For Sale" and "Special Offer" signs. My job was to pack them. /1

This seems like an incredibly useful tool. It will tell you which Bluesky users a lot of your followers follow, but you don't. Makes it easy to find other accounts you probably want to follow... bsky-follow-finder.theo.io

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better. Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful

As @jvl.bsky.social pointed out, Harris ran a smart campaign. She was a solid candidate. Trump ran a disastrous campaign and is in clear decline. This was a clear choice. No matter who wins, half of voters either chose bigotry and authoritarianism, or had no problem with it. And that’s hard to take.
