Family bike ride on the rail trail for mom's day. Forecast had less than 15% chance of rain and the path tracking across radar showed a storm system going well north of our route. Who would have expected an icy finger of rain to extend south and smite us??

Had a half hour to kill while waiting for the wine shop to open to pick up my order so I popped over to the Bay shoreline to see if I could find any cool birds. Saw a non-breeding red-throated loon sitting in the mud. That’s as cool as I got.

No, a sailor on a US nuclear sub off Greenland needed immediate hospitalisation, and Denmark/Greenland got him off the sub and evacuated him to lifesaving care in the Capital Nuuk.

It would have created a warm story of allies, mutual care, friendly Greenlanders, so Trump shat out a lie the press would replace it with.

Its always worse than you think.

От воздушных шаров до лазерного интернета: Project Loon и Taara от Google

Как-то раз внутри корпорации Google появилась идея раздавать интернет с помощью воздушных шаров, парящих в стратосфере, — так родился Project Loon . Проект должен был обеспечить доступ к сети в отдаленных и труднодоступных точках, но после нескольких лет испытаний, триумфов и неудач его, к сожалению, закрыли. Правда, не совсем — некоторые наработки были реализованы уже в другом проекте под названием Taara. Об этом сегодня и поговорим.

IBM Unveils Nighthawk and Loon Quantum Processors, Accelerating Quantum Roadmap to 2026

Vacation Day 1: we stopped to stretch our legs in Barry's Bay and found a distressed loon. It had fishing line wrapped all around its beak and neck and the line extended into the lake dozens of metres. We cut the bird free, gathered and discarded the line and drove 2 hours the wrong direction to get to the nearest wildlife centre. They got the rest of the line out of its beak, throat and stomach and the bird should pass the tiny fragment of hook without issue. We're driving the poor loon back to its lake.

If you fish, PLEASE don't throw fishing line away. It can kill birds.

Huurcontracten en loononderhandelingen: twee dingen waar het inflatiecijfer altijd een belangrijke rol in speelt. Maar door de nieuwe rekenmethode van het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) komen de inflatiecijfers van vorig jaar een stuk lager uit. Wat heeft dat voor gevolgen?

How does it help to have real facts, actual history, rational discission and choices?

This about Americas right to be bathed in fear and resentment so they can be stolen from.

My final Canadian 🇨🇦 province #linocut is my home #province #Ontario along with its symbols, the common #loon and trillium. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, black, green and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Ontario is where I was born and where I now call home. Growing up on Lake Ontario I was always aware of our region being defined by the Great Lakes, 🧵1/2

A common loon, Gavia dimmer, painted on an oyster shell. I liked the graphic quality of the loon's markings, and how the undulations of the shell played with the shape of the body.

My shells are sold in the shop at the Seattle Art Museum.
