A hummingbird moth! Not super rare, but definitely a bit unusual. Been trying to photograph this little guy for a few days now.

Nature is life's greatest gift. And its annihilation the greatest, needless, crime.
A weather model suggests temperatures of almost 50 degrees are possible in France. Anyone who claims there is no climate change, who disparages science in this field, or who denies that human activity is the cause, is making a statement that has nothing to do with reality #ClimateEmergency #FarRight
Well, I purchased Halo:Campaign Evolved (as was pretty much inevitable and essentially foretold in the prophesy), so tonight...(@batarong.com voice) ...we be gaming..!
You should never call yourself a journalist again if you willingly attended the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight to listen to a war criminal fascist tyrant’s propaganda speech paired with lame ass jokes and threatening attacks against them. You’re a disgrace with no credibility.
It's synchronized, self-updating, and wildly overengineered—but it was well worth the effort.
I wanted a clock that never needed setting. Things escalated.
A Raspberry Pi, an Adafruit 7-segment display, a 3D printed case, some vibe coding—and we've got a forever-clock that never needs adjusting.

Any cable can become a grappling hook if you leave it in a drawer with other cables for long enough.
I wish Pixelmator Pro (Mac) had a better font interface. I'd like a more feature rich font panel, giving me access to things like favourites. 'The last 6 used', which it does, is a bit lacking.
I don’t know what annoys me more - that they keep re-making Halo, or that I know I’ll keep buying Halo. Because damn, I love Halo. Well, bits of it. 1-3, ODST, Reach - awesome. 4 onwards…less so.
A Chinese shoe manufacturer made this video to show how indestructible their shoes are and y'all I'm much too gay for this 🥵
Installing Windows 2000 (because of course I am) and it keeps restarting the setup. Gets to the bit where it's done the first install, reboots, starts again. If I remove the CD it just gives a 'no operating system' message.

So, clearly I'm going to have to watch something with Sam Neill. There's so much choice, and he knocked it out of the park in everything. But, for me, I think it's going to be 'The Dish', because I absolutely bloody love that film. There's no bad guys, it's just people being people.
Well, *that* was shitty news to wake up to. R.I.P Sam Neill. One of the good ones.
