Ok. Apple Vision Pro looks really interesting. AR first, not VR.
But I still can’t see myself buying one.
Dragonflies at Woods Mill.
It may be a common cardinal beetle, but it’s uncommonly beautiful.
Beach flower.
The wind farm has really grown on me over the years.
The gull parade.
Oh, nuts.
Squee.
Having an 80s moment.
Saturday morning pancakes.
The sun going down over micro.camp…
Micro camping.
Wow. Engagement on posts in my Substack Notes feed has collapsed.

Penny Mordaunt cosplaying as Britannia.
Still, Britain has a bit of a cultural thing about women with swords.
All the faith leaders coming into the coronation together, and then our Hindu Prime Minister and our Muslim Scottish First Minister, is surprising moving. The UK ain’t doing many things right at the moment, but being a multi faith democracy is one of them.

I definitely want Blue Sky to just go away. I don’t like it because if it gains traction it has potential of replacing Twitter as the festering turd in the middle of what should have been a vibrant growing market that keeps anything else from rising in competition with it.
