@Pat This is a checklist of fundamental goals that governments, agencies and individuals should be working towards currently and in the near future.

The remotest inhabited house in the ward, and no one was in. Still, at least they got a leaflet.

I’d tell you a Fibonacci joke, but it’s probably as bad as the last two you’ve heard combined.

@EU_Commission I was born #European but this was taken away from me against my will. I wish there was a way to get my personal European status restored. Ultimately I hope I will live to see #Wales #Cymru become an independent, European country. #IndyWales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As prompted by @Noam Bergman, I’ve been keeping an eye on a #webcam trained on the #nest of a pair of #ospreys in #Scotland. Most of the time, one #bird is sitting on a solitary #egg while the other is out hunting, I suppose. Like most of life, things are a bit dull and all you see is a bird sitting patiently on the nest, incubating its egg.

A few minutes ago, the nesting #osprey started screeching and so I switched over to that tab to see what was going on. Its mate arrived with a fish for the other to feed on and the pair swapped roles. The nesting #bird flew away with the fish to feed on it somewhere else.

Here’s a couple of screen captures of the change over.

@trinsec @freemo @cy@mstdn.io two of the reasons why qoto is one of my favorite instances is the science focus and the 65,000+ character limit.

@cy@mstdn.io You said it. Qoto isn't rightwing. And you're totally free to argue with @freemo himself. I've done my fair share of arguing with him as well. We've butted heads and we've agreed on things. So long as it's civil, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, right?
