"Across the country, libraries are using culinary programs to evolve beyond traditional book-lending, adapt to users’ needs, and reshape themselves into contemporary centers of community. Events have generally centered on cookbook or food memoir discussions, perhaps sharing dishes connected to the title, but libraries are increasingly expanding this concept."

This toot fosstodon.org/@interlisp/11512… led me via a reference to Edmund C. Berkeley (as coauthor with L. Peter Deutsch of "The LISP Implementation for the PDP-1 Computer", March 1964 and author of "Giant Brains, or Machines that Think", 1949) to the 1950 2-bit relay computer Simon and then to Harry Porter's Relay Computer:

I've never seen such a succinct explanation of a computer.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

Terrible picture of this moth, grabbed in the dark undergrowth, but still enough detail in the tail to make a reasonable guess at the ID 🧐
Seems to be a common marble or dark strawberry tortrix (Celypha [Syricoris] lacunana; Gebänderter Wickler in 🇩🇪).
It is indeed a very common moth, including in our garden, but apparently not happy with having macro lenses shoved in their faces 🤷♂️

From @sergio.chapa in 2023: Given a pace of about three miles per hour, it would take roughly 32 hours to hike the entire trail nonstop. Hiking about eight hours per day means less than a week of hiking and camping.
But that’s not the path I chose.

When exploring RPG mechanics and playstyles, two concepts frequently come to mind: immersion and authoring. These approaches are central to how we experience and create stories, yet they lead to profoundly different player experiences.

Ich:"Schade, dass man die nicht auf einfachem Wege am PC bekommt"
Er: "Doch, damit kannst du Fotos der Game Boy Camera ganz leicht auf den PC spielen und sie sogar als Webcam benutzen."
