Today at the Kremlin
"Your excellency, we know you wanted us to take Soledar for their tasty salt mines, but Lavrov here has a plan to sneak into a German Costco and steal pink sea salt for your fries."

Life Without The Algorithm
"There's more to photography than being popular. Being genuine counts for something too. In the new frontier of the Fediverse the focus is on enjoying your craft instead of being crafted by the algorithm."

Watching a documentary on the history of national parks and learning it took a century before management of the parks was routinely guided by science rather than popularity metrics.
We don’t have that long for our digital environments. But also, I am committed to the long game. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CS2ZM9-xL._RI_.jpg

Trump took hundreds of classified materials to Mar-a-Lago. He failed to comply with a federal subpoena. He returned some documents, but held on to others.
Based on everything we know, none of this applies to Biden.

EXTREMELY RARE footage of the elusive box jellyfish Chirodectes. Larger than a soccer ball, this jelly is a true ocean mystery, and this video is one of the only in existence, filmed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2021.

For anyone who prefers to read #Zelenskyy 's New Years address, here's the full text in English.
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr #Zelenskyy , gives an incredibly powerful New Years address to his people accompanied by equally powerful images from the war. Well worth the 17 minutes to watch all of it. My deepest respect to him and his people - and to his speech writers. He never ceases to amaze me.

I found this part particularly moving, as he thanks his people, starting @7:28 minutes:
“Everyone is important in war. Who holds a weapon, the steering wheel of a car, the helm of a ship or plane, a scalpel, or a pointer. Everyone who is behind a laptop, who drives a combine harvester, a train. Who is at a roadblock and a power plant. Journalists and diplomats, utility workers and rescuers. All. Who is working. Studying at a university or school. And even those who are just learning to walk. All this is for their sake. Our children. Our people. Our country. There are no small matters in a Great War. There are no unnecessary ones. Each one of us is a fighter. Each one of us is a front. Each of us is he basis of the defense. We fight as one team - the whole country, all our regions. I admire you all….”
Are you like me and haven’t completely stopped going to the bird site because some of the bird site people you follow aren’t on Mastodon/? Then try Bird Makeup:
• Enter the bird site handle you want to follow on Mastodon
• Bird Makeup will give you back a Mastodon handle
• Copy the Mastodon handle into Mastodon’s Search field
• The search will reveal the person’s Mastodon handle and an option to follow or subscribe
My experience with Bird Makeup
• It will take about 24-36 hours before the person’s bird site posts start appearing in your Mastodon Home timeline
• The person’s tweets-turned-toots will be batched, appearing in a cluster of successive toots and not in real time
• Jpeg attached is an example, using Former US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFau, PhD's bird site handle turned Mastodon handle and how his tweets-now-toots appear on my Home timeline.
• FYI, McFaul appears to already have @mcfaul account, but it doesn’t seem to be current or active, so Bird Makeup has been a better option for me.

Short-Tempered.
Two short-eared owls have a brief aerial spat over the moors during the breeding season, here on Mull.
Both were hunting and took exception to the other as they flew a bit close to one another. They didn't actually come into contact, and flew off moments later.
Great to see and hear.
Hopefully 2023 will see more success with the nests of these wonderful owls.
