My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The Gateway to India, Mumbai 1900's This is a Magic Lantern photo from. The 1900's. The building itself, is almost unchanged to this day. #photography #india #Victorian #magiclantern

This is a magic Lantern slide photo taken in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The writing on the wall indicates it's China. The European man couldn't look more 'British explorer' and I am wondering if the black man on the very far right is his batman. #magicaLantern #photo #Victoriana #China

41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.

I think Gianni Infantino maybe toast at last. UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have begun preliminary discussions about the possibility of organising competitions among themselves to ensure that players can continue to compete. FIFA delegates who backed him must be getting concerned now?

Happy holiday, cat lovers😻♥️

BREAKING NEWS: Small otter does very important small otter activities.

Wise words from Steve.

Xanxia would like to know 'how you doing?'.

He has had pit holes filled, sorted fiscal issues and now this. This is how a major city Mayor should be, sorting out the essentials effecting most of its citizens, not pet projects. Sadiq Khan take note. This is the type of Mayor London deserves and needs.

I think it's time for the yearly "how to deal with extreme heat" thread. Please reskeet and comment with advice.

@jriddler.bsky.social Please pass on with the added advice: - drink minimum 8 oz liquid every hour awake thirsty or not - put your clothes in the fridge/freezer overnight before wearing - spray your sheets & clothes with alcohol mixed w/water; sit by fan

Went on a Stitchtopia quilting weekend retreat a few weeks back and learned an interlocking pattern, with different colours for each 'round'. This is a small lap, for a cat to sit on, using the design. It's got thin wadding and a fleece back. #quilt #quilting #patchwork #stitchtopia #knotwork

Finished this crib / lap quilt. It's a gift for a work colleague who is expecting a boy and is a West Ham fan. These are the only plain blue and redish fabrics I had. Giving it to them today, hope they like it #quilt #quilting #patchwork #Hammers
