I hope this email finds you no matter where you're hiding.

When the berries are in the tree, the sound of the waxwings can reach SPLs rivaling the parrots (although at a higher frequency). They’re usually up there too high though, so I rarely bother to try for a photo. But with the sun already so hot at 7:30, the shade was clearly the best place to be. Every once in awhile a waxwing would drop down to snatch a berry and after dozens of frustrating attempts, I finally got one!

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

My LEGO set was bricked 😡

webRios started as "what if #rstats just worked on your iPhone or iPad" and now it has a whole documentation site. Feels like the app grew up a little today.

So yesterday my wife and I went for an immigration interview (one of the last steps in a major process for us). They asked her how we met.

She said ‘our exes broke up with us, then we hung out, we’ve been together for 9 years now’

The officer wrote that all down ‘our exes broke up with us and we hung out’

And we had to sign it.

So there is now a record of how super queer we are in the official archives.

Homemade mapo tofu and smashed cucumber salad for dinner tonight

When I go on my wanders I come across beauty, everywhere, of all kinds. There are specific places in the forests near our home where there are perfect moss gardens. I return to them often. To admire their richness, their deep eloquence. #mosstodon #moss #forest #森　＃苔

The pineapple, as usual, is extremely confused by why it is growing in such a cold climate, and insists it be returned to Hawaii. Only one other pineapple top is currently also surviving this atrocity. #gardening

Live posting the State Of The Garden. Fellow citizens, it is lemon/lime season. For some reason, there are more lemons in Southern California backyards than anyone eats. The only solution is to make lemonade! 1/x

Another update for today: We're planning to revive LibreOffice Online, a web-based version of the suite that users can deploy on their own infrastructure: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/24/libreoffice-online-a-fresh-start/

BBC: Security threat against Australian PM linked to banned Chinese dance group

"....A bomb scare at the Australian prime minister's home originated from written threats directed at a Chinese dance and music group banned by Beijing.

In emails seen by local media, performers of the Shen Yun group were told to cancel their upcoming Australian shows or risk explosives being detonated at Anthony Albanese's official residence in the nation's capital...."

We plan to decrease operational costs for our AI model by building custom servers that are immune to cosmic radiation, then spending trillions of dollars launching them into space. Yes, our CFO did tech themselves math using ChatGPT, why do you ask?

Genuine and possibly dumb question

Why do watch makers advertise "quartz"?

Is it the name of the movement or the actual mineral? Isn't it like one of the cheapest and most abundant minerals? Why is it worthy of advertising?

I never understood this.

@davidtheeviloverlord @chu

Inside the watch is a thin crystal of quartz, it vibrates around 32.3 somethings per second, and there is a chip that counts, and then sends a signal to the little motor to take a spin, well rotate
