The Vampire Rabbit of Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne is best known for its proud history of industry and invention, its famous football club, and its vibrant nightlife. Many people who walk the busy streets of the Toon, are unfamiliar with its dark side: real life witch trials, public execution and dissection, and of course, the vampire rabbit.
Unlike the former two very dark tales from Newcastle, the Vampire Rabbit is of a lighter order. More of an interesting conversation piece for those who seek it out or come across it by accident...

These are our Aussie animals seeing themselves in a mirror!
I wouldn't be surprised if the magpies did recognise that they were looking at themselves. The two that come up to the mirror near the end of the video are mother and adolescent child.

Like solar, wind is also broadly distributed. I'm still awaiting an effective home wind turbine. Even at 0.1 kWh production it would make a difference at home, in addition to reducing pressure on the grid and its associated infrastructure costs.
"My friend Malcolm told me a story about pronghorns recently, the North American creatures sometimes confused with antelopes. They can run at speeds of nearly sixty miles an hour, much, much faster than any of their existing predators. Some biologists think they're still outrunning the dangerous species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, specifically the cheetahs that existed on this continent. And then Malcolm asked what each of us is still outrunning and whether we can tell when our predator has been extinct for ten thousand years."

For a while now I've been wanting a generic notation to explain various things on my wiki(tropical arithmetic, multisets, other programming languages, ternary logic, primes, etc..) and I found a PL design I really enjoy writing.
It lands in a weird place, I feel like it might be the only concatenative language without a stack? As far as I know anyways.
I took a day to implement it, and shoved it into a little interactive playground. I have yet to populate the examples.

Also makes me think about nonfungible symbols for Rejoice. Mercury has syntax sugar for this in the form of !Var f(!X) :- g(!X), h(!X). is expanded out into f(X0, X) :- f(X0, X1), g(X1, X).
I could see it coming into play for something like
!task ... [F !task]/!task<br>@Next1 ... [G !task]/!task<br>@Next2 ... [H !task]/!task<br>[]/task<br>becomes
task0 ... [F task1]/task0<br>@Next1 ... [G task2]/task1<br>@Next2 ... [H task]/task2<br>[]/task<br>

Free Android softsynth, I ran out of spoons with this one and want to concentrate on making Resonance as good as it can be instead so: orllewin.uk/programs/android/r… Makes good weird noises, can be nice and tame, or filthy. It uses PureData for the audio engine, I'll upload the code somewhere soon.

“The amount of untaxed wealth hidden offshore by the richest 0.1 percent exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people), according to a new Oxfam analysis published on April 2, 2026, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Panama Papers.
The findings show that, a decade later, the super-rich continue to exploit offshore systems to evade taxes and conceal assets, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated international action to tax extreme wealth and end the use of tax havens.
An amount of $3.55 trillion in untaxed wealth was stashed offshore in tax havens and unreported accounts in 2024, according to Oxfam’s estimates. “This sum exceeds the GDP of France and is more than twice the combined GDP of the world’s 44 least developed countries,” a statement by Oxfam noted.“
