Turns out that a man who entirely baselessly and bizarrely calls a British minister a rape genocide enabler and tweets random conspiracy theories day and night might neither be the most stalwart nor reliable political ally.

As we approach Midwinter, here's The Black Stag from the cave of Lascaux. Considered to be either a creature of Ice Age myth, or a rendering of an extinct Megaloceros.
Deep in the ground it was drawn above geometric symbols, including 13 circles, the meaning of which is now lost.

I wasn't liking the diagonal walk, so I redid every angle (well the legs at least)! And I think that's a good talking point; its perfectly fine if your designs don't work right (or in my case a mixture or thet and it just looked a lil ugly) the first time!

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
