Just made someone's afternoon with the National Library of Scotland's side-by-side map viewer, which lets you view historical mapping alongside current maps and satellite imagery. It is very cool indeed. maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/...

This might be a bit of a Hail Mary, but if you're a primary producer in the vicinity of the #TamarValley and supplying Callington and the surrounding parishes, I'd love to see you at a workshop next week so that we can work out how to boost local food sourcing. #Devon #Cornwall #LocalFood

House meeting. Important business discussed. OK well the septic tank is booked in for an empty.

Business owners distressed after Meta suspends Facebook accounts They say they cannot understand the reason for the bans and have struggled to have them overturned.

My head is in bits, but then it has been a sliding scale as to how many bits my head has been in since forever.

Britain’s food supply ‘at risk of catastrophic failure by 2030’ A report written before the 2024 election says climate change, habitat loss and geopolitical instability are a danger to food security — and it has been ignored

A "realistic possibility that by 2030 (increasing to 2050) our food, water and natural ecosystems (etc) are at strategic risk of catastrophic failure" www.thetimes.com/article/3812... #FoodSecurity

La Chimera Arthur, an archaeologist turned professional grave robber, returns to a small Italian town to see the mother of his lost girlfriend. He quickly falls in with his old gang, raiding Etruscan tombs.

La Chimera is on BBC iPlayer and though I'm only slightly miffed that I paid to watch it just a couple of weeks ago, I loved it. Give it time. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002t67f

Escaping enshittified websites and platforms and backing up, and using, my online "things" feels like using the web 20 years ago before the big boys hollowed it out. It's nice.

Love @kagi.com's Small Web initiative. I think the web needs a hand-cranked renaissance. blog.kagi.com/small-web

A dog with a green frisby. It's blurred because she's moving. A cheeky white of the eye.

The energy crisis is over, guys. We can power the world with my white-hot loathing for Microsoft products.

Ironic really, what the orange goblin said about Mueller, when they're going to have to install a dancefloor and drainage over his grave.

Doomsday prepping: Inside the world of Wales' survivalists From floods and fires to national security cyberattacks, how can you prepare for the worst?

Have food stored, be able to prepare it in austere circumstances, be able to deal with a power cut, generally be able to look after yourself, find community and work with others. Got it. Is there supposed to be anything odd about any of that? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Timothy Dalton is 80 today? What?

Doing a pesto with walnuts and likely a flavoured oil to go with a risotto/beanotto, also love having a stock of wild garlic butter in the freezer. Think I'll blanch it first. That Asian style oil sounds good. Hot oil over the top of it? Addicted to Laoganma
