The Wombles had the circular economy all figured out back in 1968. We should all aspire to be like the Wombles.

"Making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folk leave behind..."

And here's one of the delightful original episodes, if you've never seen them: youtube.com/watch?v=6P2a1oWmEQ

My view last night after Argentina’s nuclear power plant Atucha went offline because a land-clearing fire affected power lines, leaving half the country (pop 46m) without electricity. Intentional fires to clear land for soy, cattle and gated communities burn everywhere non-stop, reddening eyes, burning throats. The press ignores it. Government response? It stopped publishing fire stats. Current summer is hottest in history of Buenos Aires, weather bureau said yesterday. No one carried the story.

Tonight in 1977 — The finale of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW aired on CBS.

“It was incumbent upon me to profess absolute belief that this was the smart thing to do: to go off while we were ahead and on top. But I was crumbling inside. I didn’t want it to end.” — #MaryTylerMoore

Today I learned ↓

The word "Dashboard" comes from the board on the front of a horse carriage which prevents mud from kicking up on the passengers as the horses are "dashing" through the dirt.

@markearnest@mstdn.mystikos.org I’ve lost three pairs of glasses in the surf… at the same beach.
(Admittedly, one was my daughter grabbing onto me/them when a big wave hit - she didn’t know what to do with them so threw them back into the white water).
I twice had my glasses smashed playing sport (blood streaming over the glass)
I’ve worn briefly two pairs of glasses. But I noticed someone on a teams call do the same the other day.

@stavvers oh no, off by a factor of 40,000 and my inner Sheldon can’t stay quiet

Haystack Rock Blue Hour

Haystack Rock is the dominate rock feature on Oregon's Canon Beach just south of Astoria Oregon.
This beach is a true gem. It is all that much nicer when you have a beautiful sunset fading into the blue hour. The beach is wide and the ocean is shallow at this point, so the waves roll out for a good distance leaving a beautiful reflective surface for the setting sun.
