Storm Boelo is hitting us hard in Orkney today. I wanted to test out the beardometer at Skaill today. Took my breath away.

Pachelbel's Canon in D gives the cello the same eight notes over and over, and Rob Paravonian, who got stuck playing them, has not gotten away from them since. He counted the A coming around fifty four times, and he figures Pachelbel must have dated a cellist who dumped him. He thought quitting the cello would end it. Then his stepnephew's eighth grade graduation played Vitamin C's "Graduation" and there they were again. He got in the car and Aerosmith's "Cryin'" was doing it too, so he switched to folk and got "One Tin Soldier." After that he gave up fighting it and started naming them: Blues Traveler's "Hook," Green Day's "Basket Case," Matchbox Twenty's "Push," Better Than Ezra's "Good," Bush's "Machinehead," U2's "With or Without You," Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn," Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi," Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," the Laverne and Shirley theme, Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," and the Beatles' "Let It Be." A wedding piece from about 1680 is sitting under a punk song and a sitcom theme. What did he leave out?

There is only one world leader I can think of who has both nobly defied Trump's extortive quid pro quo blackmail and fought bravely to thwart Putin's murderous aggression - so much so, that most would say he's "outfought" Putin. One world leader. Trump AND Putin. He's in a tough place now with Trump's desperate need to distract, and general sociopathic treachery - and given the lack of mettle from the GOP, nobody can say for sure how things will transpire. But we KNOW he leads courageously, we CAN say Slava Ukraina, and we can DEFINITELY say that Vlodomyr Zelenskyy is ... a rare hero.

Hi everyone, ​I'm reaching out to see if anyone might be able to pitch in a little to help cover cat food for the cats this week. Things are a bit tight at the moment especiallynow that im sick, and ensuring they stay well-fed and taken care of is my top priority.

Animals that kill in the wild are statistically ‘hungry’ and trying to survive. Naturally, they will kill again if they don’t want to starve.

Sightings like this are almost unheard of. The last record Fish and Game has is from 1976, when someone watched an albino calf from the Porcupine Herd through a spotting scope for about two minutes. No photos were taken. akpub.io/4j9bctt

Dear Friends, ​As many of you know, taking care of multiple cats comes with daily challenges, and right now we are struggling to keep up with our monthly cat food supply. ​We want to ensure every cat gets the nourishment and specialized care they need...

They called him Backpack because his mama carried him around because he had an injured leg 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I LOVE YOU BACKPACK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He got it from his mama. Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family. His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

I love everything about this. This is Molly Tuttle and the Golden Highway performing a bluegrass rendition of the Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit”.
