v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

Looks like some other people have now correctly identified the vats of 98% sulfuric acid, or at least the paper trail of it. Still haven’t seen anything linked directly to this sketchy picture of the vats themselves.

Did u know? Having a wildlife garden means minimising waste & re-using as much as poss. Live by the mantra - whatever grows in the garden, stays in the garden. Don't take dead wood or logs to the tip,pile them up in your outside space to create fabulous habitats for all sorts of small souls. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🪵

Lowest US Western snow-pack since 2001 (MODIS data)
davidho.bsky.social David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 7d
The western U.S. faces its lowest snowpack on record despite average or above-average rainfall. Warmer temperatures mean more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and will worsen droughts in areas like the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado River Basin.

science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...
Figure of Western U.S. snow cover area from 2001 to 2026 illustrates a staggering decline in current coverage compared to historical norms. While the historical data for mid-January typically clusters between 400,000 and 600,000 square miles, the line for 2026 sits in unprecedented territory at the very bottom of the graph. On January 15, 2026, the snow cover area plummeted to a record low of 142,700 square miles—less than one-third of the median and the lowest point in the entire 25-year satellite record. This visual gap emphasizes a severe "snow drought," with the 2026 data point trailing significantly behind even the previous record lows, highlighting an extreme and alarming anomaly in winter precipitation.

After hearing today’s news & knowing Alex Pretti - dry January is over.

In my ICU rotations at Minneapolis VA, nights in residency, & days as a fellow in infectious diseases, I worked alongside Alex.

Surely our nurses unions can help make some good trouble for a fallen hero?

Remember kids, don’t eat raw milk:

“The milk from the previously infected cow was not processed for human consumption. However, the virus generally becomes inactive when the milk is pasteurized, and the milk from this farm is only used for pasteurized products.“

www.melkvee.nl/artikel/1447...
🧪🛟
Dutch to English translation: Bird flu antibodies found in dairy cow January 23, 2026 A dairy cow in Northeast Friesland must have been infected with bird flu. Antibodies to the virus were found in the animal's blood. The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LVVN) reports that no evidence has been found that the avian influenza virus is circulating among the farm's dairy cows. There are also no signs of avian influenza at other dairy farms. Cats The NVWA received a report on December 24th about two sick cats. One of those cats tested positive for avian influenza and died on December 26th. The other cat tested negative and has fully recovered. Because the infected cat came from a dairy farm, the NVWA also screened the dairy cattle on that farm; this happened on January 15th. The cows showed no symptoms at that time. Milk samples were taken from several cows, and the bulk milk was also sampled. These samples were sent to Wageningen Bioveterinary Research for analysis, but the virus was not found. This means that no virus was present in the dairy cattle on the farm at that time. Antibodies However, antibodies against the virus were found in one of the samples. This means that the cow from which the sample came had been infected with the virus at some point. The ministry reports that this cow had suffered from mastitis and respiratory problems in December. These are symptoms that can occur with infection with the avian influenza virus. By the time the sample was taken from the cow, she had recovered. New sample collections Following the positive antibody test result, the NVWA (Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) revisited the farm yesterday, January 22nd. They took blood and milk samples from all cattle present, and a new bulk milk sample was also taken. ….continued
