do you know those people who present their doctor thesis in like, song format with a guitar, or performance, or in unusual punctuation and iconoclastic writing style etc.
imagine this: make a history/palaeography thesis of historical martial arts by close reading an old manual, recreating the techniques, and then your doctoral defence is presented in the form of performing sword forms, followed by detailed explanations of each movement

The words ‘fluent’, ‘fluid’, and ‘influence’ come from the Latin verb ‘fluere’, which means “to flow”.
‘Fluere’ and ‘to flow’ look very similar, so they must be etymologically related, right?
No! They’re entirely unrelated.
‘To flow’ is related to Latin ‘pluere’ (“to rain”) instead. My new infographic tells you how we know.
This is so spot on.
Candidates spend billions on TV advertising - where most of that money just goes to corporate execs and aharwgolders - and no one says a word.
Creators get paid to be taught how best to build their own platform and people completely meltdown.

This evening's first target was going to be a mosaic of two nebulae. Alas, I got the framing a little off, and I ended up with 1 1/2 nebulae. At the top is half of the Eagle Nebula (M16), and down the bottom is M17, The Swan/Omega/Check mark/Horseshoe nebula.
In between them are a cluster and two smaller nebulae.

Mike Johnson Blames “Human Heart” for Gun Violence, Not Firearms
"Speaker Mike Johnson insists guns aren’t the problem. Comparative evidence suggests otherwise: the scale of violence follows access, not abstract morality."

The end of August usually means two things in San Francisco (three if you count Burning Man): Summer is just beginning, and wildfires are peaking. This week has been mostly clear skies and warmer temperatures, so I went north to photograph the City from across the strait. The photos of the City from today aren't that interesting. However...
The Lime Point Lighthouse sits under the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and has been a beacon since 1883. Only the signal building remains after the residences were torn down following automation in 1961.
Sunrise was spectacular due to haze from distant fire. The air over the Bay, though, was crisp and clean. Pelicans were once again obliging the camera.
Couldn't pass up this photo of the Golden Gate Bridge during the blue hour.

Had tea with Abdul, the dad of my youngest's childhood bestie. At 70 he's still working as an interpreter and advisor for Central Asians in Sweden. He knows something like ten languages. I learned that he has an MSc in biology from a university in Kabul. A highly intelligent and cosmopolitan man who has raised a couple of amazing young Swedish ladies, top of their generation in most respects, exactly what this country needs. ❤️

Let's hope these two pieces of filth drag that other one with them in their downfall.
I wouldn't even mind if they got a cell together.

Writing to a deadline while on holidays
In two months, my first self-published novel will be out. Well, at least it will be at the time I write this blog. It's titled Grayson's Magical Mishaps and is part of the Haunted Hearts: Season of the Witch collaboration - eleven Urban Fantasy romances written by gay authors. I usually spend years on a novel but this one needed to be completed in five months.

Well, today was a big day. For Yohan! It was the annual open day for Irish Guide Dogs in Cork. This is where they invite members of the public, puppy raisers, owners of guide dogs and other interested parties to the centre. They give a skills demonstration as part of this event.
Guess who closed the show...

Cool video about the people who work with wildlife rescue in Singapore.
When I still lived there I lived in some old forest areas, so I often had to call them to come get the snakes, bats, from my house (which is a pretty different experience from how others experience Singapore)
I know people think of only tall buildings and urban environments when they think of Singapore but I did also grow up sitting at bus stops with pythons in the bush behind the bus stop.
Lots to improve about our management of wildlife and environment but in general I think it’s pretty unique how there is actual a blend of mega city plus rainforest and wildlife if you know where to look
Like the river otters who would come visit my school

Google only uses a drop of water, according to Google
"In its 2025 sustainability report, Google stated that its total water consumption increased by 28% to 8.1bn gallons between 2023 to 2024."
How many drops are there in 8.1 billion gallons?

in reply to Yoïn van Spijk • • •I notice in many languages, many of the FLOW infinitives (and I think this applies to verbs in general) end in an -en sound. Except in English, which instead puts "To" at the start.
Why does the infinitive in English have a "To"? Does it have to do with the -en ending being occupied by the -ing sound on the end of gerunds?
Yoïn van Spijk
in reply to Goggles • • •@PKYo In Middle English, the infinitive was 'flowen'. However, as English lost its endings, the infinitive first became 'flowe' ("flow-uh") and then 'flow'.
Meanwhie, the preposition 'to' became more and more part of the infinitive. Initially, it was only used to express purpose (as in 'he went to buy good') but it became an infinitive marker, except when the infintive is combined with certain helping verbs, such as 'can': 'I can come'.
The -ing ending has its own separate history.
