Since my blog is catching up with my stitching, I thought I would revisit Stella's Birds..
The inspirations are Elizabeth Goudge's book, "Gentian Hill", medieval imagery and Mountmellick embroidery.
That's quite a lot to juggle, isn't it!

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.
Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.

Old English had two words for โknifeโ: โcnฤซfโ (the ancestor of โknifeโ) and โmeteseaxโ.
โMeteseaxโ was a compound of two words. The first one was โmeteโ (โfoodโ), the ancestor of โmeatโ, whose meaning was later narrowed.
The other one was โseaxโ, which meant โswordโ and is related to โSaxonโ and the surname โSaxโ, on which the word โsaxophoneโ was based.

@zio @ThatCrazyDude it's kind of like cooking with a dehydrator. The moisture evaporates off or it's trapped with the oil inside the food. Imagine cooking a drumstick with a hair dryer. Kind of like that.
The healthy trend is pitched that you don't add any bad oil/grease to cook it in, just use hot air.
Like a microwave, it's convenient for kids to use. Drop frozen food in tray, set time, press button, eat heated food. Nobody learns to cook anymore.
If youโre frying raw chicken you do have to mix oil into the batter, otherwise it just bakes it.

Son royaume pour le Groenland - ou comment, alors qu'il รฉchoue tant en politique intรฉrieure qu'extรฉrieure, il ne reste ร Trump que la faible Europe pour paraรฎtre fort.
Pascal Clรฉrotte
Pourquoi les โleadersโ europรฉens sont-il terrorisรฉs par Donald Trump alors que ce dernier est faible? Parce quโils sont des esclaves de maison, qui ont รฉtรฉ promus au rang de domestiques par le maรฎtre et sont prรชts ร tout pour conserver leur statut supรฉrieur ร celui des esclaves des champs et leurs petits privilรจges (deux livrรฉes et une paire de chaussures par an, manger ร lโoffice etc). Revoir Django in Chains, le film de Tarantino.
Cโest parce que Donald Trump est faible quโil a le besoin impรฉrieux de cogner sur lโEurope, parce quโil ne peut cogner sur personne dโautre. Sa motivation รฉtant de politique intรฉrieure ร lโaube des รฉlections intermรฉdiaires, cโest donc sur le champ de la politique intรฉrieure quโil faut le contrer.
Trump veut le Groenland ? Proposons lui un โTREMENDOUS DEAL, THE GREATEST DEAL EVERโ: quโil rendre ร la France la Floride (premiรจre implantion ร Fort Caroline, aujourdโhui Jacksonville, en 1564) et la Louisiane, des territoires qui sont lรฉgitimement les siens. Et sโil se comporte bien, il pourra peut-รชtre conserver la propriรฉtรฉ de Mar-a-lago, ร partir du moment oรน il en change le nom en โMaison du peupleโet en fait un golf public.
Dans une lettre adressรฉe au Premier ministre norvรฉgien Jonas Gahr Stรธre, Trump affirme ne plus รชtre attachรฉ ร la paix. Voici des morceaux choisis de cette missive, publiรฉs par la chaรฎne dโinformation britannique GB.
En clair, Donald Trump justifie sa volontรฉ dโannexer le Groenland par le fait quโon ne lui a pas dรฉcernรฉ, comme ร Barack Obama, le prix Nobel de la paix. Voilร ร quoi cela se rรฉsume dans la tรชte du prรฉsident des Etats-Unis.
Lโassertion selon laquelle la Chine et la Russie ambitionnent de mettre la main sur lโimmense รฎle australe relรจve du fantasme le plus complet. Il est au contraire dans leur intรฉrรชt que le Groenland reste rattachรฉ ร une puissance mineure telle que le Danemark, car cela garantit une forme de neutralitรฉ. Quโa donc fait Trump pour lโOtan? Nous peinons ร le discerner.
Nous lโavons affirmรฉ dรจs les frappes sur lโIran en juin 2025 : Trump a lui-mรชme mis un terme ร sa prรฉsidence. Il est, par sa soumission ร Israรซl et ร Netanyahou, dรฉsormais cantonnรฉ ร รฉructer depuis le bureau ovale, plombรฉ par des rรฉsultats รฉconomiques mรฉdiocre et une opinion publique dรฉsabusรฉe.
Avec son refus de publier lโensemble du dossier Epstein et cette intervention militaire dont les Amรฉricains ne voulaient pas, il a perdu la confiance de sa base qui, rappelons le, nโa pas votรฉ Trump parce que fan de Trump mais parce quโil รฉtait la promesse dโun retour ร la normale aprรจs les deux mandats dโObama et celui, dรฉlirant, de Joe Biden. Si ce dernier รฉtait un ectoplasme sรฉnile, son administration restait forte. Celle de Trump nโest quโun innommable bordel - excusez notre langage mais il faut appeler un chat un chat.
Pour rรฉsumer grosso modo la situation : Moscou promรจne Donald Trump; Pรฉkin ne lรขche pas un pouce de terrain; les monarchies du Golfe le renvoient dans ses quinze mรจtres; et lโIran lui dรฉcoche un gros bras dโhonneur tout en infligeant une nouvelle dรฉfaite cuisante ร Israรซl. Mรชme en Amรฉrique latine, pourtant sensรฉe รชtre lโarriรจre-cour de Washington, la tentative de changement de rรฉgime au Venezuela a tournรฉ ร la farce : les bolivariens sont toujours au pouvoir, personne ne les en dรฉlogera de sitรดt et tous les grandes compagnie pรฉtroliรจres amรฉricaines ont rรฉpondu un โnonโ ferme et dรฉfinitif ร Trump qui leur demandait dโy investir. Il ne contrรดle donc pas le pรฉtrole vรฉnรฉzuรฉlien.
En politique intรฉrieure, ce nโest guรจre mieux. Nous passerons sur la situation quasi insurrectionnelle dans le Minnesota. Les podcasters, ร qui Trump doit en grande partie son รฉlection - ce sont eux qui ont mis en รฉvidence la corruption de lโadministration Biden, du parti dรฉmocrate et lโarnaque Kamala Harris que les mรฉdias mainstream refusaient de traiter - font feu de tous bois tant la politique menรฉe par la Maison Blanche est absurde, violente et sans issue. Quand Joe Rogan dรฉcrit ICE1 comme la Gestapo, il faut commencer ร รฉcouter et se demander si un certain nombre de gens ร Maison Blanche, ร commencer par Stephen Miller, le tout puissant directeur de cabinet adjoint, ne devraient pas รชtre limogรฉs.
Certains, pourtant pas mal disposรฉs ร lโรฉgard du locataire du la Maison Blanche, appellent, tel lโancien de la CIA Larry Johnson, ร dรฉmettre Trump de de ses fonctions en vertu de lโarticle 4 du 25e amendement de la Constitution amรฉricaine,au motif quโil est inapte ร exercer son mandat.

Will Microsoft ditch Windows for its own Linux distro?
@MasonRemaley [โฆ] Microsoft will eventually cave and do the funniest thing imaginable: theyโll ship a Windows-themed Linux distro that can run Windows executables out of the box using Wine, and discontinue support for Windows proper.
Theyโll make a half-hearted attempt to keep some vendor lock-in by building in special integrations with their SaaS stuff or by patching Wine and refusing to upstream it, but it wonโt really work because nobody really likes Microsoft software anyway.
gamesbymason.com/blog/2026/micโฆ
Windows, ChatGPT, iPhoneโฆ. Itโs awareness monopoly, stupid.
Does Linux have better backward compatibility than Windows itself? Possibly. I recently needed to run ancient software written for Windows XP (32-bit) to read data from equally ancient hardware. I donโt know if itโs possible to run this kind of software on current Windows versions, but itโs a breeze on #Linux using #Wine. I installed Wine and Winetricks to get some needed runtime libraries and fonts, then add a udev rule to allow hardware access (USB). It simply works. No VM needed.
When I say I installed, for the first time that is, I also want to say I never needed to so far. Thereโs no software Iโm using I couldnโt find an existing version for Linux.
Thereโs nothing difficult about using Linux desktops. In fact, theyโre easier and more useful than Windows. Installing software is a breeze, not to mention hardware drivers. If thatโs still an issue, itโs because company X [NVIDIA] really tried very hard to make it impossible. [Did I mention NVIDIA?]
If youโre not a programmer punished having to make a living writing software for that operating system, you donโt need Windows. The only real roadblock was always that PCs are sold with Windows, and inertia. Same reason most people think #AI is #ChatGPT. Itโs only because mainstream media only ever talks about ChatGPT.
