We reuse plastic food containers. Saves us money, saves on plastics in the environment. It's great. I just filled up a jar with cold soup and leaned a little on the lid to get it tight, and it turns out this particular plastic jar had gone through the dishwasher a few times and had become brittle. Fucking jar collapsed and the soup EXPLODED all over me and the kitchen. But generally speaking, reusing plastic food containers is great. 👍

I came up with this joke when I was asleep, so forgive me if it's not very funny

It's nice to see wetlands getting a bit more attention in the news. If it isn't rewilding by introducing otters to control the crabs that were damaging saltmarsh in California, its a study that has identified that saltmarsh and mangroves act as an even better carbon sink than we had thought, and may have a role in reducing ocean acidification.

"Been there, done that!"

That's how Clotilde Dent Bowen used to describe her life (1923-2011).

This pic is when she was the first African-American woman to graduate medicine from Ohio State University in 1947.

I've just made her a Wikipedia page:

And she features in my post on African-American pioneers in mental health. But more on her remarkable life before we meet some others...

Disappointing news for those expecting big skies and wide open vistas. The cows didn’t want to come off the hill so back to the trees we go. ‘Spot the Dog’ is a moody, misty duo and not desperately taxing today.

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“The dual-finned Canadian land shark surfaces briefly, scouting the area for signs of potential prey.”

Amazing story of an in-house band at Disney in the 1940s called "Firehouse Five Plus Two," who recorded a few recently-discovered practice demos under the names "Farthouse Fuckheads" and "Jackoff Jackrabbits." Best detail: they recorded these demos over outtakes from Cinderella music. https://cabel.com/2024/02/13/firehouse-five-and-the-cinderella-surprise/

I may have orphaned 100s ... but then *they* ate their mother. She's gone. They are raising the massive pile of brood with ant like joy.

They are happy for now... but there are no more eggs... unless they start rouge laying. We shall see.

Every time I look in on them I feel like a criminal... like... a pariah.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that a vote is not a valentine, you aren’t confessing your love for the candidate. It’s a chess move for the world you want to live in.

Today is #ILoveFreeSoftwareDay.

And I do love Free software.

I run my small law firm - and my personal life - almost exclusively on Free software.

Rather than calling out particular software, here are 25 FOSS projects that I shared as part of last year's #FreeSoftwareAdvent:

#Russia Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a comment condemning 1945 Allies bombing of Dresden[^1] in Nazi #Germany and calling it “barbarian”. What Russia forgot to mention that the bombing was performed on request from #USSR marshal Ivan Konev 🤷
