I think that might be fixed now - there were some image related fixes in a recent version.
It's a sad state that most articles I see are entirely based around something somebody has posted on X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit. Occasionally a tech publication will have a report on something posted on Mastodon.
Apparently being a journalist these days just means scrolling through social media.
If you saw a bright green laser pointing into the sky, you would be forgiven for thinking the Avengers were about to descend upon your city
> After spotting a green laser beaming into the sky, a lot of people were left scratching their heads - but some think they’ve worked out exactly what has been happening.
> Posting on Reddit, user Apenerd shared a picture of the great beam into the night sky on July 23. He didn’t explain at what time or what location he took the picture, however.
> He captioned the post: “Every night this light/laser comes from out of nowhere and appears to be thousands of miles long.” The post so far has over 34,000 upvotes and has really got people talking.
> He even claimed that he drove closer to the beams source and concluded it was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio to blame.
It looks like if you reset the status to "playing" (or equivalent), you can then set "played" again, and it tracks it as a second play.
So I think this will work for my import/sync.
Garfield would never be nice to Odie...
garfield would never be nice to odie. if you ever see a garfield strip where he starts off being nice to odie, 99 times out of 100 it's misdirection. if you're wise you'll prepare yourself for a twist ending

BGG to NeoDB
BGG to NeoDB. Contribute to chris-y/bgg-to-neodb development by creating an account on GitHub.
This is a Python script I've been playing around with - it copies your "owned" games from BGG into a collection in NeoDB.
I'm considering expanding it with plays but need to see how that works in NeoDB - I'm not sure if you can set "played" multiple times, it might work better to set as played once and add a note with each play.

In related news it's my account's cake day today, so any butterflies gratefully received (worms, dead or otherwise, not so much).
I saw an albino squirrel near Bedford. My photo is terrible though, it's a proper cryptid image, could be anything.

What a phenomenal waste of money that would have been.
I checked and logoparalysis isn't a real word (I guess none of these are?), but it should be. We need a word for the inability to find words.
Amin Abed
Not normally on Faceb**k but happened to see this.

Fairy sleeping on a unicorn by Sandra Chang-Adair
> Published in Heavy Metal in a gallery of my artwork. I've always liked the imagery of a beautiful woman sleeping on a horse. I'm not sure where I first saw this romantic scene. Maybe it was in some movie, or it has something to do with Lady Godiva. A painted a hunter with his dogs in the forest watching her. Of course, both dogs are mine, Ripley the Sheltie and Freckles the Australian Shepherd.

Many years ago there was a news article and uproar about one of these being disguised as a tree - which towered above the surrounding trees. I think the rest of the trees have probably grown by now to stop it looking so out of place.

There were other changes this day but due to an issue with the bot, they didn't get posted. Mostly it was the change of UKTV channels to be prefixed with U&
A senior officer at Bedford Borough Council has said that the general election and forming of a new Government has taken Universal Destinations and Experiences, who are working on plans for a new theme park in the area, by surprise.
Do they not read the news?
Yeah, it looks broken again, nothing much coming through on that community for a few days. Could be post length still.
With that in mind, if it looked to Bookwyrm like a Bookwyrm instance (as far as the books bit is concerned), that would be amazing.
