Wombat Butt Lore
A wombat has one of the strongest behinds on the planet. Fact. It's reinforced with a tough plate of cartilage across the lower back and rump, which helps protect it from predators. Wombats can back into their burrows and use that butt to crush dogs, foxes, or other attackers against the tunnel walls. They don't just defend; they kill with their butts. That butt gets itchy. And with stubby little legs and arms built more for digging than scratching, the wombat has to get creative. Cut to: […] -

Solar Setup v2
Time to think about version 2 of the solar setup. Version 1 is in this post. I’m still mildly amazed it’s all running, given it was thrown together in a hurry by someone with zero experience. I’m still getting nightly wildlife clips, which is a far better use of time than doomscrolling the daily news. The only real worry is that the system will fail and I won’t know why, because I only have access to the camera itself. The Eufy camera has its own solar panel, so I can at least […] -

Shed Costs: An Unremarkable Breakdown
First read the post about building the she if you haven't already done so to set the context of this post. This post is a short, factual update on the costs—materials only. Time, effort, and travel have been excluded, mostly for my own benefit so I don't think too much about it. As expected, most of the money went into timber (the treated kind) and the corrugated iron for cladding. Still have two sheets left over, currently awaiting inspiration. Most of the shed is built from treated […]https://blog.thebrink.club/2026/02/17/shed-costs-an-unremarkable-breakdown/

《#政局边缘》#TheBrink
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/15907在这个关头重看一遍，愈发觉得这是部极为出色的政治喜剧。
这部剧厉害的一点是，它向我们展示了所谓外交手段，都是发生于未然的——某一方不想让某件事发生，那么就用尽一切手段和资源去斡旋、周转、调停和交换。当事件已经出现在大众视野中时，代表之前的手段已然技穷了。因此所谓的义正言辞和厉声叱斥也不过是外强中干罢了。
同样，这部剧的缺点也一样明显——女性角色在这部剧中是完全的客体和凝视对象，没有任何发挥空间；性少数群体更是直接不存在，仅以轻浮的桥段出现；明明事件漩涡的中心是中东国家，手持勺柄搅动这口大锅的始终是白人/美国，这是无论编剧如何调笑基督徒都无法洗脱的罪名——牢牢地把叙事的视角和主动权攥在手里，其他一切都只是棋盘上挪动的棋子。
很遗憾这部剧没能够续订第二季，我也会强烈推荐所有关心政治、或者单纯喜爱紧张情节的朋友观看这部剧。但在观影的同时也务必别忘了，我们离成片的那个年代又往前走了多远。

I don't get how the people who understand and hate the propaganda of the mainstream (we agree) fall for propagandists like Bannon, Trump, Stone, Fox News etc. These people aren't really even trying to hide it. #TheBrink #LiberalValues
