Magnificent Bird of Paradise Cicinnurus magnificus
Meet the Magnificent Bird-of-Paradise, a dazzling, theatrical bird from New Guinea’s forests. Their vibrant courtship dances must be protected from palm oil!Palm Oil Detectives
I have a friend who is exhausted from horrific nightmares. Not bad dreams but relentlessly unspeakable horrors.
If you have ever suffered from traumatizing nightmares, can you share anything you've found that helped?
(Yes, they are in the care of a number of doctors; no, the doctors are not helping.)
Seeking experience- or research-backed replies only, no conjecture or search engine results. Will lock for "I asked ChatGPT".
Thank you.

🎭 cat.capris as Ranni from Elden Ring
This kind of character is more challenging to capture because there's a visual rhythm where the light needs to hit the character's face second not first but also needs to be a focal point. It's more subtle balancing than just making sure the character balances from the background in the generic sense.
It's been a while since I headed to a convention but I headed out into the cold for Uchicon here in Chicago last week for a few photo sessions. Typically cosplay photography at conventions is pretty hard but this location has some great architecture to use for background.
I'm currently booking for C2E2 and Anime Central in Chicago coming up.

Today I had to make a trip to pick up some milk. To get to the 7-11 I have to drive past it, turn onto a farm road, then double back. No u-turns allowed in front of the shop! This farm road is also where signs about local events are posted for people to see as they drive into town. I did my turn then had to stop and park nearby. The above poster had me yelp in surprise!
Guess who that is at the top!
Yes, I am the Wattle Fairy Godmother again for 2026. 😁

The ‘pleasant fiction’ of a rules-based order has been blown apart. It’s time for Australia to codify a bill of rights
What’s happening on American streets makes clear that a charter of rights does not prevent state overreach. But human rights must be more than a debating point.

Pinterest laid off its only icon designer as part of their AI-focused layoffs.
My current advice to my mentees in tech is that if you want to distinguish yourself, it's by how deeply you've embraced AI and how much it's made you more productive. Being the voice of opposition to "AI slop" or "work slop" is a great way to volunteer for the next round of "AI productivity gains" driven layoffs.

Someone asked me why I don't implement markdown support to the wiki engine instead of painstakingly typing down html tags. I think the reason that I never felt like markdown was worth it, was that the editor I use makes writing html somewhat frictionless, maybe if I lost this, I'd consider adding a parser.
Markdown support adds a thick layer of junk to a SSG, maybe the trick is just to improve html support to the editor you use, and keep the site simplier.
