Good morning. 🍁🌑☕

5 April 2025

A couple of days ago, I spotted a coal skink (Plestiodon anthracinus) slithering around in my office. It darted under and between the books piled beside my bookcase, prompting me to search behind the books, a small chest, and my shredder to locate the intruder. I managed to grab it with my right hand, but it escaped by slipping through my grip and likely took refuge behind the bookcase. With two heavy desks and the bookcase in my office, I wasn't willing to rearrange everything just to chase down a small lizard. I would have gladly taken it outside, where its survival prospects would be far better than in my cluttered office. On the bright side, the encounter motivated me to organize my bookcase, turning the pile of books next to it into a neatly arranged collection.

@arstechnica Absolutely won’t happen… As a current #Nissan #Leaf owner, I’d be curious to see what would happen if #Tesla did buy Nissan; but it would make very little sense for them to do so.

If Nissan was unable to find a buyer and went out of business, well Tesla is one of many companies that would directly benefit from such a demise; so it would make more sense for Tesla to reject any such proposal outright.

In saying that, this is just wishful thinking by #politicians , anyway.

Bashful Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.
