Kilpatrick Braes Yesterday Evening, lots of purple, thistles, thyme, bell heather, yarrow (mostly cream). Fauna: roe deer, kestrels, larks. Lots of parked cars but the Braes were quiet.

Facebook is "aiding and abetting the spread of climate misinformation,” said Robert Brulle, an environmental sociologist at Drexel University. “They have become the vehicle for climate misinformation, and thus should be held partially responsible for a lack of action on climate change.”
But now Facebook has reportedly decided to allow its staffers to overrule the climate scientists and make any climate disinformation ineligible for fact-checking by deeming it “opinion.”
Delighted to see a new version of Levelator. via TidBITS

Older versions (& Windows & Linux) still at The Conversations Network
I’ve not used it for a while but have run 100s of episodes of Edutalk through it in the past.
Lost its rather individual UI.
hmm with a tinge of #ds106
I have been working for years. on a four-line poem. about the life of a leaf; I think it might come out right this winter
It is the subtle things that let you know it is a school holiday.
TikTok did not say whether the feature would be removed from Android devices, nor whether clipboard data was ever stored or moved from user devices
Given that the app is widely used by pupils and sometimes by educators this is interesting.
Hopefully this situation when I type t in Alfred will change now the summer holidays are here and TextMate will be back in the number one spot! #microsoftTeams
I went 1.8 miles past the 5 mile limit to travel for exercise last night. The first time since lockdown started. Celebrating the end of term. It was worth it. So many things I’ve not seen; ringlet, kestrel, buzzard, larks, snipe, foxglove, heather, bedstraw, and so much more.
Aaron is wondering about Jetpack after reading Doug’s post about privacy. The post is fascinating and a useful reminder. On the Jetpack front I’ve got Jetpack installed but the “Publicize connections” & “Sharing buttons” turned off. I don’t see any traffic going to Facebook using two of the tool’s that Doug suggests. Perhaps Jetpack is OK? Or I don’t really know how to use the tools.
