Finally, now I can live my lifelong dream of eating an entire humpback whale in one sitting.
Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

17 years ago a Shaheen dislodged a Sununu from the Senate in part because he insisted "stop complaining about health care."
The same Sununu is now trying to win back that same seat still held by the same Shaheen, whose vote last night essentially ended health care for many.
Time is a flat circle.

Goodnight from The Ghost Bear’s Bowl pub, where there’s much talk about what the oil extraction company up at Trotton Grove might disturb. Goodnight from Ali Weaver, wishing her mother wouldn’t tell the children stories about the Hairy Pike at bedtime. Goodnight from Hookland.

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

Oh ffs, this is just stupid and lazy. Not a trace of real interest in showing how knitting works.
Everyone's being let down by #Gameofwool, even Tom Daley. I'm very disappointed in the judges not insisting on better. Surprised no-one jumped ship when they realised quite how rubbish it really is.

also, WHAT IS THIS AI SLOP DOING ON THE KNITTING SHOW?
it's becoming so obvious that the producers don't actually care about knitting at all and just wanted a quirky game show format #GameofWool

10,000 generations of hominins used the same stone tools to weather a changing world
This technological tradition lasted longer than Homo sapiens have even been a species.
