For the last few months the south Canberra roos have hung out in large heterogeneous mobs with lots of Big Bois and mums and little ones all grazing and hanging out together.
Over the last week or so the mobs have started to split into separate groups, with Big Bois separating from smaller ones

Here's another music video from my EPisodic sci-fi rock opera.
There is no AI in the music composition or production, but I make heavy use of consumer-grade generative AI algorithms for images and animations.

Chicken thread.
I did something this afternoon that I swore I would never do: I took a chicken to the vet.
But these girls are gun layers at the height of their productivity, it looked like something a vet could treat pretty easily, and dammit, she's my favourite.

When my house and community burned - where was the satellite information? A very raw blog post I am putting up so folks in the satellite, geospatial and tech fields can listen firsthand why I think we are failing the situations that need us the most.

The thing I love most about ancient Egyptian funerary magic is the way it so shamelessly bullies and gaslights the gods.
Here's a classic example from the Pyramid Texts. The dead king is introduced by a god, then IMMEDIATELY claims to BE that same god.
