Roof Tile Making - when the term 'handmade' is totally accurate.

Briljante actie. Dat wil toch iedereen op zijn afscheid.
"Sinds 14.30 uur rijden minder treinen rond Utrecht door een tekort aan treinverkeersleiders. Het tekort heeft onder meer te maken met een afscheidsborrel van "twee zeer gewaardeerde collega's" van ProRail. Dat laat een woordvoerder van de spoorbeheerder aan de NOS weten."

"That was really dextrous and educational, cat. I was unaware that my phone would even fit inside the teacup."
No photo. For reason.
RT: @StoneDunk Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍
Cycling doesn't have to end in autumn

“Fast tech is the blind spot of the e-waste world. Black Friday and Christmas will bring another enormous wave of electronic toys, decorative lights, mini gadgets, chargers and other inexpensive electronics into our homes. Their low price doesn’t mean they have no environmental cost. We need them to be collected and recycled when they’re no longer in use” — Pascal Leroy, Director General of the WEEE Forum

Confused face...
Hello fine people of Mastodon!
I'm Frank: a soil ecologist, popular-science author, nature macrophotographer, university lecturer and science communicator (and exhausterwhelmed new father). Through my research and outreach, I'm determined to raise awareness of the tiny organisms that keep our soils (and our world) working!

Today I just want to share that my girlfriend is incredible and I'm really impressed by her achievements.
She had to face her director of thesis for her doctorate because she thought a theory in her field was wrong, even though it was the standard use in the whole domain for 20 years.
Without any support from her university for this, she proved to her director, and to the rest of her field that the theory was wrong and needed to be reevaluated. Another lab contacted her later to confirm they had the same observation.
Given the level of politics in academia and the mysoginy in STEM, I find it incredible and inspiring.

I asked a trusted colleague for comments on a written document and they fed it in to chatGPT and sent me back that output and I just want to cry.
Guess I won't be asking that person for help or advice on anything anymore. Enshittification happens in people's writing skills too, I guess.
I also have absolutely no idea how to respond to them. If you're that far down the genAI black hole I don't think pointing out the ethical/environmental/cognitive issues will help. Fuck.
That awkward moment when LePen supporters suddenly realized that they were actually a fringe group, boosted by Russian propaganda.

Making the beaver warning sign out of wood was probably not the best idea

So, Ukraine took out the troll farm and suddenly the far right went dark. IMAGINE ALL THAT
Dear President Zelenskyy, keep hitting Russia's data centres.
Yours

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears.
Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.
Ob ein Film einen Oscar gewonnen hat, und wenn ja, wie viele, interessiert mich in der Regel höchstens am Rande. Bei diesem Roadmovie interessierten mich vor allem die hervorragenden Darsteller. Und mit diesen lohnt sich dieser Trip durch den rassistischen Süden der USA wirklich. (ARD, Wh.)
