  1. Ah, #LinkedIn, the land of #larpers and #professional peacocks! 🦚 Where posts about third cousins getting hit by trucks somehow morph into groundbreaking business insights. 🤡 Just another day in the #corporate #circus where shallow virtue signals and empty #buzzwords reign supreme. 🎪🤦‍♂️

  4. In other news, I saw some #peafowls today. There is a small population that was introduced to #Agistri island a long time ago, and over the decades they made their way into the ecosystem.

  5. Peacocks take over a northern Italian beach town.

    More than 100 peacocks have spread through the seaside town of Punta Marina, where residents are trying to manage the growing population without harming the birds.

    The peacocks now wander through streets, perch on balconies and gather along the beach, becoming an unusual part of daily life in the coastal community.

  8. We found a house today with an ostentation of peacocks.

    I had originally guessed "gallantry of peacocks" as the collective noun, which sounds pretty good to me. But Grammar Monster tells me the correct term is 'ostentation', 'pride', or 'muster' of peacocks.

    These were hanging around a local neighborhood house. The guys with the big tails would rattle the feathers every now and again. Also, a peacock's call sounds a lot like a goose.

  9. Peacock wants attention, dog rescues lost owner, cute therapy horse, and a new way to deliver cat treats.

  10. Monkey Kingdom released in 2015 set in Sri Lanka

    Tina Fey is the first animal documentary narrator I have enjoyed other than the racist David Attenborough medium.com/the-frog/attenborou whom I can no longer enjoy.

    There is a beautiful shot from just above where monsoon rains gush over a precipice into waterfalls falling at different angles :)

  11. Recently divested from the #Peacock branded #NBC mothership, MGMT at #MSNBC announce new name in corporate split from National Broadcasting Service. The left leaning editorialized cable news network, that once took on the MS in a 90s era partnership with #Microsoft , now is being divested by #Comcast and will become #MSNOW aka My Source News Opinion World owned by Versant.

    Versant is a holding company created in the effort to spin off cable channels with fading revenues from core #NBCUniversal assets. The Comcast CEO's family wound up personally owning 33% of the joint venture.

    Somehow #Versant owned #CNBC will be allowed to retain its current branding sans any #Peacocks in its logo, as will E! And USA Network. Earlier this month, #NBCSports and it's new separate holding co partner Versant renewed their joint broadcast rights to United States #Golf Association (#USGA) championships through 2032, with the Versant operated #USANetwork and #GolfChannel continuing to serve as the cable tv home of the events post-split.

    In other #cable #sports broadcasting news is the creation of something called #GlobalNetworks, basically another possibly botched biz decision by David Zaslav's awkward WB/HBO/Discovery empire to split off the #Turner #TNTsports #broadcasting assets that currently hold the live #BroadcastRights to such iconic sports events as :

    #NCAA Men’s #Basketball Tournament (through 2032)
    #MLB (through 2028)
    #NHL (through 2028)
    #NCAA #Football Playoff (through 2028)
    #NASCAR (through 2031)
    And #FrenchOpen #Tennis (through 2034)

  13. A group of peacocks, like those in this linocut, are called 'an ostentation', for obvious reasons. I am making a series on the weird and wonderful terms of venery - the collective nouns for groups of animals (and other things). Some are evocative, some strange and obscure. This is the fourth in a series of such prints.

    The word 'Ostentation' is in a rather rococo and ostentatious typeface.

  14. The feral peafowl population on the nearby peninsula has grown enough that they're going to start trapping them again:

    They were all over the neighborhood I had to drive through to get to one nature reserve a couple of months ago, and I could hear them calling each other while I was hiking:

    This is also where I saw one walking along the trail (another amusing case of wildlife using human paths for the intended use)
