Hurrah it is Wednesday and the weasels are dancing as always! A bit of Disorder and Joy Division today. The weasels are off on their hols for the next 2 Wednesdays and not sure if we’ll have a signal to post, so maybe see you, but if not, don’t forget to dance like a weasel, you know you want to!!

The secret to gaining everything your heart desires

I have finished my photo book… finally 🤣 just choosing the cover now, if you’d like to help me choose do comment below, any profits to Tavistock food bank, and to Okehampton Greatfield hedgehog rescue. river Dart, Huccaby, Foxgloves, Peter Tavy or sheep, Lynch common near Sheepstor, which one ?

Neil's playing a blinder! 🤣 #TheArchers

Despite looking brown, this dry and hot weather is good for our species rich lawn. It encourages the perennial flowers to send their roots deeper than the shallow rooted grasses. However, they can’t do this forever so we’re all still praying for rain. 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #GrosvenorSquare

Young people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with its dreadful consequences. Of course, they want to rejoin the EU.

The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018. Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.

Time takes its own time And it takes my time and yours. Doesn’t bring it back.

A lovely little bit of physics that you might have spotted if you ever play with a slinky. We should all play more, because we should all embrace our curiosity. And finding out how the physical world works is fun!

I’ve had a pack of Golden Wonder cheese and onion crisps for the first time in decades and it turns out it is not just nostalgia - they do taste better than Walkers!

Weirdly, despite repeated requests, I haven't had any invitations to Reform press events since I asked a month ago whether Farage was scared of questions about his finances.

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · 3d ago

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

Good article. If excellent farmers like John Pawsey are thinking of dropping out of food production, we really need to worry. We're in an emergency, but we're not acting like it. Normality bias is powerful, response latency is dangerous and vested interests are driving us faster to the cliff edge.

I spoke to @thetimes.com on horrible yields and how there is no "new normal" "As bad as this year’s harvest is proving to be, Behrens warned against seeing it as a “new normal”. “Until we get our carbon emissions down things will continue to get much, much worse.”" www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

"Kew Gardens has had a weather station since 1871. This July was, based on third party analysis of Met Office data collected at the site, the first calendar month on record where no rainfall was measured at Kew."

London's first month without rain

Plus: There's nowhere to bury the dead • London wants to keep its money • When will it stop being so damn hot • Who is to blame for turning off the air conditioning in the tower block?

"AI can’t give us authentic love. It can only offer devotion. And while this devotion can feel good, if we’re looking for real love – authentic love – we’ll need to look elsewhere" - @lucyosler.bsky.social and Joel Krueger for @uk.theconversation.com 💕 theconversation.com/you-can-love...

You can love an AI but can it love you back? Philosophy has the answer

If you’re looking to be loved, Simone de Beauvoir would warn you to look away from AI.
