People are wrong about Daylight Savings time.
Every time you'll get dozens of articles saying Is it time to get rid of daylight savings? as if it's a bad thing.
The truth is we're not doing it enough.
The real reason everyone is confused is because we took a half step. The world is a sphere, not a flat plane. Because we're missing an entire dimension of detail, we're only doing half the daylight savings required.
What do I mean by this?
You see, we currently save daylight by longitude, but if we want a truly accurate amount of daylight savings we will also require time dilation by latitude. So the further you get from the equator the more we have to slow the clocks down to ensure everyone actually receives their full day in the sun. This is because each day and night is longer the closer you get to the north or south pole.
This is the essential factor missing from a physically accurate daylight savings model.

Weird thing about these Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies: they all take place in a small town that is totally unlike any small town you've ever been in.

Hunting.
Here's an Ospreay (Pandion haliaetus) that I saw today. The bird was high over the ocean and long way off. The photo isn't the greatest, but it might be the best photo of an osprey that I've taken.
"Ospreys are unusual among hawks in possessing a reversible outer toe that allows them to grasp with two toes in front and two behind. Barbed pads on the soles of the birds' feet help them grip slippery fish. When flying with prey, an Osprey lines up its catch head first for less wind resistance.

Sweden could be a new nightmare for Elon Musk

“Port workers have refused to unload Tesla’s goods at Swedish ports for days, cleaning staff have announced their refusal to clean Tesla’s showrooms and workshops, and electricians have pledged not to repair the company’s charging stations. Since Nov 20, postal workers have joined the movement, ceasing deliveries of letters, spare parts, and pallets to all Tesla addresses in Sweden.”

Cartridge based consoles are fucking great. Oh, the console can't do 32-bit computing? Now it can, bitch. Oh, you don't have an accelerometer? Now you do, bitch. Oh, you don't have adequate 3d performance? Now you do, bitch. Get cartridged.

Getting really tired of watching apartment buildings full of kids get blown up in various countries. I think we should have a Convention on this. Maybe we can do it somewhere in Switzerland

Ayman Safadi, Jordan's Foreign Minister, said at the 19th IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain that no Arab troops will be sent to Gaza following the Israeli aggression, emphasising the desire not to be perceived as the enemy.
He labeled Israel's actions in Gaza as "blatant aggression" rather than self-defense. Safadi also criticised the international community's double standards, pointing out that any other country behaving like Israel would face global sanctions.

There seems to be a distinct divide between Whovians who want soap opera and Whovians who want the adventure with science. I was wondering if I'd miss Davies' writing when he moved Who to a subscription service but from what I've read so far, I'm not missing much.
