Eat This Newsletter points the finger at

* alt-protein energetics: the sums don't add up
* breastfeeding: formula looks "less like brain damage and more like a really bad kindergarten teacher", and
* food allergies and intolerance: the immune system loses its mind.

Documentally: "New post. With some nude picks... https://open.…" - the Octodon

"There are also tools to show me where my online images have been used so I can invoice people who use them without permission. But it’s a pain and I wish Flickr could do that with a click of a button. It might happen."

That would be a game changer, and maybe even profitable for Flickr on a small percentage.

Is it possible, in my wildest dreams, that the latest XKCD from Randall was inspired by a recent episode of Eat This Podcast?

Twenty years ago today, I was impressed with WordPress, the new kid on my block. https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/getting-to-grips-with-wordpress

It is still pretty impressive, if it gives you what you want.

A lot of Mark Nottingham's post about improving feeds is plumbing and protocols I scarcely understand. The thing that disrupts my feed reading most is feeds that resend the latest 20 posts each time there's something new. Might be related to doubled images. Whatever, I dislike it a lot.

Composite image. On the left a map showing the location of the quest and my position. On the right a black Raleigh steel road bike leaned up against a white micro-rental car. The actual Rabbit is somewhere between the biccle and an apartment block in the background.

Not exactly exploring. Just happened to notice this Rabbit right by my usual route for a long bicycle ride, so I had to bag it on the way home.

Composite image. On the left a map showing the location of the quest and my position. On the right a view down a leaf-covered slope to a road. lined with plane trees and umbrella pines. Two groups of people are walking beside the road. In the foreground are shrubs, including small Ailanthus bushes.

Bagged this on Friday, and it had been so long since the previous Rabbit I clear forgot to take the screenshot that enables me to post a day later. Or three days later.

Rain at last, and it smells … like victory.
