An outdoorsy photoshoppy mole- likes National Trust scones & Dartmoor. Craving the return of Authentic Integrity, not AI (the Internet was more reliable *before* AI). Unconventional use of #AltText as a default, just to annoy purists. Canβt DM.
Another year, another cynical attempt by the private equity backed company βRestoreβ to try and scare people away from the much loved National Trust (hoping to take over the charitable board and seize control of its assets and direction) @celiarichardson.bsky.social@nationaltrust.org.uk
βItβs that time of year again,β says Trusty, βno time to hibernate - itβs the upcoming @nationaltrust.org.uk Annual General Meeting, and another vote to keep the βRestoreβ private equity mobβs hands well away from the Trustβs charitable resources.β
@samiraahmeduk.bsky.social The Farage love-in at BBC News is, yet again, all over social media and BBC News' reputation sinks further every day.
That's what they want, isn't it? Drive the rational away, shrink the audience and justify the cuts.
Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones.
So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.
The BBC would say theyβre representing the polls, and the support Reform has in them.
I would say the support Reform has in the polls is because theyβre over-represented on the BBC.

The current dilemma for most creatives now is that you need to share work online for your business to survive but if you do, it will immediately be stolen and replicated by AI and it's quite possible your business won't survive that

One of the oddest parts of Reflect Orbtialβs schtick is its claim of βsubstantive discussionsβ with scientists and astronomers. Basically zero evidence of this or it having an impact thus far.
Taking a quick break to scream about the proposal and scream some more about how incredibly fucking terrible Reflect Orbital is https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/26/california-sunlight-space-mirrors-satellites
After a very dry summer, the fungi of #Dartmoor have been working to catch up!
We were very lucky to have local Medical #Herbalist and Mycotherapist Jenny Carden join us for a partner walk, where she helped us search for, and identify, fungi.

I'm can't comment on the sincerity of Tommy Robinson's conversion to Christianity. But Jesus probably didn't want to deport the Good Samaritan back to Samaria.

Iβm not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donβt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
Breaking News!
Code: y-Axis Alert!
Yesterday's Nino 3.4 preliminary sea-surface temperature anomaly set a new record high, at 3.48Β°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. To clearly show this anomaly, the y-axis max was raised to 4.0Β°C.
Attention historians: this is gobsmackingly bananas.
"Koenig tells of series creator Gene Roddenberryβs insistence on ethnic diversity in Star Trek, and why he believes it is a key to the franchiseβs ongoing success."
Don't miss this half-hour with Walter π
Oh no π
One of the last members of the USS Enterprise has left.
RIP Walter Marvin Koenig (1936-2026)
Star Trek, Babylon 5, Moontrap, The Starlost, The Questor Tapes, Futurama... What a career in sci-fi.
I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again π
My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.
