Giving up on this platform because of an increasing number of unwanted images of fat, hairy, naked men appearing on my feed every evening. I'm guessing it's when narcissistic bears in the US finally get online. Numerous attempts to say "show less of these" not having any effect. 1/2

A small point, all things considered, but raising a tariff from 25% to 50% isn't a "25%" increase as he says here. Someone needs to teach him basic maths (which in this instance would give him 100%). BBC News - Trump: US to double steel import tariffs to 50% - BBC News

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.

Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

Unwanted photos of hairy overweight men like this are far too numerous on this site, and despite me clicking "show fewer posts like this" they still appear on my feed with monotonous regularity every evening. Stick to Grindr please and don't impose your vanity on me. BlueSky - sort your algorithms

My Great Uncle Arthur W Chamberlin, a Coporal in the Royal Engineers who died from his wounds on 8th July 1918, aged just 26. Buried in the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Acheux, near Amiens.

Sad day today, saying goodbye to one of my late mum's cousins who died aged 95. But at the wake another cousin shared with me some family papers, including my Great Grandmother's passport issued in 1925 when she was 60, so she could travel to France to see her son's grave at Acheux, on the Somme.

Roman army camp found beyond Roman Empire’s northern frontier
“What makes this find so remarkable is that the camp lies beyond the frontier of the Roman Empire,” says Saskia Stevens. That border was some 25 kilometres south.

Sad to say goodbye to our hosts after a wonderful 10 days break in the DMV area. One of the highlights of the trip was finding the ixöq store in north-east D.C. - a great initiative selling baskets from Guatemala, woven by women artisans using recycled and upcycled materials.

A lot of the things found at Pompeii and Ercolano have been removed for best protection to the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
I cannot recommend a visit there highly enough. So many stunning things but the mosaics are right up there for me.

Five years ago today, we lost Dad to Covid, aged 91. For the final two years of his life, he was cared for at Vida Grange near Harrogate, a wonderful facility specialising in the care of people with dementia. I still miss his wit and wisdom and will be thinking of him today

6 mile walk around Warrenton Lakes. We identified 16 different bord species, saw some lovely flowers, and the occasional revolting garden ornamentation.
