it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Following Prince Andrew’s titles being removed, Prince Edward becomes the Duke Of York. Basically, it all shifts up one. For instance, I’m now my next door neighbour, Pauline Cathcart.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

The nice thing about the adverts gang is that they're not hypocrites. In fact Sarah Pochin has long campaigned for more gay representation in catfood sdvertising.

Sorry, Sarah, but you are now, officially and on the record, a moral degenerate. And you know it.

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone
Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

The food is very good. Each patrol takes it in turn to help Mrs Lovegrove cook it. We cooked spaggetti bolangeze & pie then for breakfast we had eggy bread.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Kraftwerk make their sole British TV personal appearance on Tomorrow's World. Shame about the musical lapels never happening, unless as we suspect that was Ralf and/or Florian taking the piss.

As I enter my late middle years I find myself thinking more about the nature of forgiveness, and how much more positive it would be if, rather than endlessly and desperately parroting the far-right, Starmer were simply to be trampled by geese while rollerblading in the Dordogne.

I don’t suppose anyone has any idea how to ID this empty moth pupa? Found in a crevice of a mature oak trunk. The hairy bits look somewhat distinctive but I wouldn’t know where to start. @mothiduk.bsky.social?
a macro photo of an empty moth cocoon in the crevice of an old oak trunk. An empty moth cocoon in my hand. It is dark brown but has tufts of straw coloured bristly hair along the sides. It is split open at one end where the moth emerged. An empty moth cocoon in my hand, from a different angle. It is dark brown but with tufts of straw coloured bristly hair.

I doubled my previous record count of Elephant Hawkmoth last night! (i.e. there were two)

Batrachedra pinicolella/confusella was NFG but I fumbled the process of getting it into a pot. Bad news for my garden list, good news for that individual moth, I guess.
#TeamMoth #moths #VC17 #SouthLondon
An Elephant Hawk-moth on the seedhead of an ornamental poppy. The moth is all pointy angles and vibrant pink; the seedhead is almost circular and pale blue-green. The picture is from the side and the moth is preparing to fly, so side of the body and underside of the wings are showing, with white legs contrasting against the pink body. It also has some details in a warm olive green.

A respectable moth night: I make it 76 of 32 species.
Brown Scallop was the best record, only my second.
Glamour provided by a couple of Hawkmoths, Elephant and Poplar, and Blue-bordered Carpet.
Mild further interest provided by a Dun-bar which is my earliest record by 11 days. Whoo.

A Brown Scallop moth. It's a murky brown moth spread flat against a wood surface with a faint wavy pattern on the wings and slight scalloped edge to the wing. The tip of the abdomen is fat and club shaped and raised up. Elephant Hawkmoth. A fuchsia pink and olive green moth shaped like a fighter jet. A Blue-bordered Carpet. A triangular moth with its wings flat against a cardboard egg box. It is white with a dark brown patch at the front, another on each wing, and a soft grey border at the rear of the wing that is "blue" like steel not blue like an Italian football jersey.

It's shaping up to be a good toad and frog harvest this year.
The edge of a pond, under the rim of some paving. It is dotted with froglets and toddlers, just about old enough to have lost their tails. There are at least 40 of them.

Smershpod by the way is EXCELLENT content. But it was very easy to make it terribly badly, certainly at first. Steep learning curve.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice
Part 1 of 4 A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly. Part 2 of 4 Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is. Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek. Part 3 of 4 Lucy dumps poor ol’ Charlie Brown into the creek and watches him float away. Part 4 of 4 Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi. Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there. “Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?” That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.
