I'm here for your authentic selves. The highs. The lows. The occasional meme. Don't worry that you are not "good enough" or some such drivel. People are so damned interesting. Let's all be tiny flames burning against the big dark void.

Both cats hit the woodstove for a few minutes but sprinted back to separate heat vents when they heard the furnace blower kick on.

Self-driving automobiles are a solution in search of a problem. People don't want them, but companies like Uber, Amazon, Cruise and Waymo keep pushing them because there's so much money to be made. I hate the way these companies are compromising our safety and the way government regulators aren't pushing back.

Firefighters were battling a major house fire near the intersection of Hayes and Divisadero streets early in the morning of Jan. 22 when a Cruise vehicle with no safety driver started to creep its way into the emergency scene.

Two firefighters stood in front of the car to prevent the vehicle from driving over hoses used to douse the growing inferno, but that didn’t work. As the car continued to inch forward, one firefighter took quick action and smashed the vehicle’s front window, finally bringing the car to a stop. First responders contacted Cruise, who sent workers to move the vehicle out of the way.

Reports of a "bear's face" on Mars remind us that humans LOVE to find faces in inanimate objects. It's a form of pareidolia—assigning meaning to random patterns.

HiRISE on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the "face," which measures about 2,000 meters wide. Scientists described it as "a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (the nose), two craters (the eyes), and a circular fracture pattern (the head)."

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

Over the past two months our winter virtual tour of Scotland has progressed from Dumfries in the south to Durness in the north and today it concludes at Smoo Cave, at the eastern end of the village. "Smoo" is a name thought to derive from the Old Norse Smuga which means "hiding place". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/durness/smoocave/index.html

Thank you for your company over the past two months!

Lucy the Welsh Terrier and I often commuted to the workshop in Chorlton with this Kingcycle and customised BOB Yak trailer combo. 🐶

Some corners of my studio, before the creative mess starts. It is our spare/guest bedroom, so when somebody visits it transforms into sleeping place. If you like my art, lucky, if not, sorry, still have to sleep in there! 😀 #art #artist #mastoart #artmatters #studio #photography

our three campspots in mauretania:
- behind a lonely mosque
- behind a police checkpoint with very friendly officers
- in a national park just before diama border; where we only slept in our sleeping bags on the picnic blanket because of the many thorns (we where afraid that our airbeds get punctured), this night was accordingly hard 🤪
in the morning we run out of petrol. to get our coffee we hat to be creative with one of the empty cola cans 😋

Ants can detect volatile organic compounds in urine that come from cancer. Scientists grew human breast cancer tumors in mice and collected urine. Ants used their antennae to accurately detect which samples came from tumor mice and which came from tumor-free mice. #screening #cancer #ants https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ants-can-sniff-out-cancer/

I specialize in "socialization projects" at the cat rescue, which means sometimes I get older kittens who need some extra convincing that people are okay, and they'll likely need a special home because they may always be skittish. Here's two of those special kids, Anastasia and Windsor. They're super sweet, always rubbing up against my leg and telling me it's canned food time. Also they are gorgeous. #FosterKittens #CatsOfMastodon
