Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Shout out to Samuel Parnell who was such a shit-hot carpenter he could refuse to work more than 8 hours a day and his employers had to agree to it but instead of just taking the win he worked to get the 8 hour day for OTHER WORKERS. my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/labour-day/

Also from this (16 October) morning, near where I took the sunrise video: two sets of Little Blue Penguin tracks cross the sand. These birds left the nearby rocks long before sunrise and walked to the ocean to spend the day hunting.

Nolan’s Batman gets praise for its timely rumination on the surveillance state and whether it is right to become evil in order to stop a great evil. But the Adam West Batman engages with an equally important a theme of not selling surplus nuclear subs to people who won’t leave a full address.

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing. This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...

It’s the 112th anniversary of Mr Rée’s birth today, so here’s a thread about his extraordinary life (which prompted several people last year to observe, regardless of his sandals/socks decision, that Harry was “smoking hot”)

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance
