After setting up app tracking protection on my phone a couple of days ago, I can see thousands of blocked tracking attempts across so many apps, including ones that aren't in use.

I don't use Facebook or Google, but they seem to insert themselves into everything to get their sticky mitts on #data.

Watching the events of the past few months, this was entirely predictable.

Still, WTAF?

"Israeli forces bombed areas in the southern border city of Rafah where more than half of Gaza’s population is sheltering on Thursday."

I lived and worked in Israel (Jerusalem) a long time ago. Visited the West Bank, Ramallah, Gaza, Bethlehem, and many other places.

We've made a new algorithmically generated one-of-a-kind puzzle. The Bismuth Crystal Puzzle. Every one is uniquely grown, with a different shape, image, and cut.

I hate that I have to specify this but no AI involved. Just geometry, color, and craft.

Speaking with student nurses in #MentalHealth and really shocked that many are not wanting to work in the #NHS after graduation.

Not because of pay or hours, but because of the appalling conditions on some wards and how patients are treated by staff.

Black students are also treated differently to white students - like they are being set up to fail.

These things aren't unknown in the system, just nobody really cares, and if students complain they are likely to fail their placement.

A brown dog catching a treat. It looks really funny. A mouth is open and eyes are almost popping out.

Mushroom getting started for the day.

She often runs ahead of me and lies on the floor so that I will stop and play.

Never fails - I'm well-trained.

The botanic gardens looking lovely today. Inverness is really lucky to have it.

…them?

I know it’s gardens plural, but… I dunno. I think you can have a botanic gardens, one botanic gardens etc. conversely, I’ve never heard of a single botanic garden, at least in this context.

Whaddya reckon?
