IT’S been a while, right? We here at WIRED talk about you a lot (mostly good things!), and we’ll admit it feels a little weird to address you directly. But we need to have a talk. And yeah, no, this is not going to be a fun one. Because things aren’t great, Internet. Actually, scratch that: they’re awful.
You were supposed to be the blossoming of a million voices. We were all going to democratize access to information together. But some of your users have taken that freedom as a license to victimize others. This is not fine.
Are we talking about Leslie Jones? Sure. Today. But we should’ve mentioned something to you Monday when some of you went after the woman running Ireland’s Twitter account. Or earlier this summer when anti-Semitic trolls started crowing about their nested-parentheses bat-signal. Last year, it was the assumption that of course we should have a pro-Gamergate panel at SXSW. Or two years ago, when some of you hacked Jennifer Lawrence and a slew of other folks in that ugly display known as—this is as gross to type as it is to read—the Fappening.
Did you know 40 percent of Internet-using adults have experienced online harassment? Do you know how many Internet-using people commit harassment? Us neither. It’s not many. But that minority is literally the worst. And they’re screwing it up for the rest of us.
When you were born 25 years ago, people were so overjoyed that they just wanted to talk with each other. Then they wanted to spend money. Great! Except the companies that rushed to fill that void figured something out: For anyone trying to spend money, odds are there’s someone else trying to take it. They added fraud protections to protect people and themselves.
But that didn’t protect anyone against what people said to each other. As you got bigger and stronger, more people wanted to talk—but some of them were jerks, or worse. Remember flame wars? You had no immune system, and you started to rot. Now that rot has turned to blight. And here we are.
The networks we use to talk to each other have managers, and they don’t seem to know what to do about it. We don’t either. We don’t know how to make you a place where information is still free but people are safe, too. We only know that silence is unacceptable.
You had no immune system, and you started to rot. Now that rot has turned to blight. And here we are.
Here’s what a Twitter spokesperson said when we asked about the problem of abuse on its platform: “We don’t comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons.” After a hate mob drove Leslie Jones off Twitter last month, Jack Dorsey appealed to bureaucracy: “Our rules prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others.” There are rules? Well. As long as there are rules.
Except, you know what’s not making a difference, Internet? Rules. Do you know what happens when people talk to us about how to stop harassment? They get harassed! Threatened. Other people email them their home addresses and name their family members!
And do you know what happens when we highlight how people respond to hate with love? Just read the replies.
Internet, it has to stop. And since you are this enormous, limitless beast with many heads and hearts and faces, the best way we know to get your attention is to talk to the companies and people who form your backbone and your bloodstream.
So. Companies that created the tools that let us communicate: no more passes. You have the ability to help people feel safe in their daily online lives. You have sophisticated tools to fight spam, and you take down content that infringes on copyright in the blink of an eye. This is a call to action. And a plea. You can’t say “we suck at dealing with abuse,” promise to do something, and then drag your feet. Because it’s starting to look like you care more about your next earnings call than the people who actually use your sites.
Maybe you’re not a company! Maybe you’re a hacker who can come up with some solutions to this problem. Go get ‘em, White Hats. And companies who pay hackers and researchers to poke holes in the Internet, how about putting a bounty on fixing this enormous hole at the heart of the Internet? Help some people out.
If you’re someone who organizes, executes, or fuels abuse and hate crimes online, then let us be blunt: You are not our people. We trust you can find the door.
And if you’re someone who organizes, executes, or fuels abuse and hate crimes online, then let us be blunt: You are not our people. We see you dominating the comments on our Facebook posts. We see you shouting louder than anyone else in the comments of our stories, and in our Twitter timeline. Stop. Just don’t. You’re an embarrassment to the sites you frequent. We trust you can find the door.
Back to you, Internet. After all, we’re stuck with each other. You’re how we live our lives, and you’re how we’re going to continue to live them. We wouldn’t trade that for the world. We just want to make sure we work together—with you, and the people who built you and maintain you and depend on you—to become the place you were supposed to be, and be better than you are.
Love,
WIRED

Facebook Post 12-19-2020 Had the pleasure of helping this lil seagull! A lady posted in one of my local groups that a seagull was injured with a broken wing in the parking lot at her job and it had been there for eight hours. We called the Paws wildlife rehabilitation center in Lynwood and they said that they’d take it. I agreed to drive it. The bird was caught without incident and made it to Lynwood in one piece! Glad I could help!
Update: It had a broken wing and a shattered pelvis and had to be euthanized because the wing was broken in a joint that wouldn’t allow it to fly again 😟 Rest easy little Angel!
In Memoriam
From the Philadelphia Zoo's Facebook post:
"It is with great sadness that we report the decision to euthanize our iconic 17-year-old female Amur tiger Kira yesterday, Tuesday, October 28.
Kira was under veterinary care for age-related joint stiffness beginning in 2011, but after a recent episode of sudden lameness in her front right leg, she was anesthetized for a thorough examination. X-rays of her right elbow revealed severe degenerative changes and evidence of a probable fracture through the abnormal bone at the elbow. Given her advanced age and poor prognosis for a return to a good quality of life, Zoo staff decided to euthanize her following the exam while she was still under anesthesia.
Born at Zoo Leipzig in Germany in 1997, Kira made Philadelphia Zoo her home in 1998; several Zoo staff had the privilege of watching her grow from a cub to mothering many cubs of her own. Kira produced 13 offspring from four litters in her lifetime and has distinctly aided in sustaining the Species Survival Plan population of Amur tigers. She was a favorite among staff and guests and her presence will be greatly missed."

Some days ago an old high-school buddy I keep in touch with on Facebook posted a couple of photos of us, when we took part in an after school hours "dance club". We took the class once a week (on Thursdays), just after school, with a small group of other students, our French teacher, and a bunch of senior citizen instructors.
It was a cool experience - a neat meeting of very contrasting generations. Man! Those old folk knew how to dance! ;)
Anyway... The memory's been kinda lingering in my mind this week, so I decided to try a few dance poses on the dollies. :)
I think they look rather nice. Hope you like them. <3

Thoughts on Turkey.
I flew in to Ataturk International Airport, arriving at 11:30pm on May 20. I slept in the airport which was surprisingly not as bad as I thought.
Turkey. How the hell did I get to Turkey? I really have no idea what I was doing here. Istanbul sounded like a cool place… Honestly, I didn’t really put much thought into going to Turkey, I kinda just showed up. But as luck would have it, my friend from Syracuse, Beatrice, is finishing up her semester abroad there right now. She met me as I got off the bus from the airport and took me out to an authentic local breakfast place.
Turkey is a little behind the times. As we sat there eating some weird goat cheese thing (that’s the technical term), an overbearing loudspeaker came on. And not a loudspeaker in the restaurant. A loudspeaker over the whole city. A man speaking in Arabic calling for prayer. I look out the window and see men rushing and running to the nearby mosque to wash their feet in a foot-sink thingy (also a technical term) and then inside the mosque to pray. Now apparently this happens multiple times a day.
It was very weird. We happen to walk by a different mosque later that day and decide to peak inside. We were in there looking around, Beatrice in her fancy headscarf, provided by the front door man, and we’re both barefoot. Of course this would be the time when the loudspeaker comes on, calling for prayer. The men start flooding in, some in sweat pants, others in fancy suits, to pray. We stayed to watch for a little while (technically we were allowed to be there) but left shortly thereafter.
On a positive note though, the world is flat, thanks to the Internet. I posted on Facebook that I was going to be in Istanbul and a friend from high school messaged me saying she had an alumni event in Istanbul at the same time. I found myself on a fancy dinner cruise on the Bosphorus River hanging out with an old high school friend and some really cool people.
Basic networking, fast forward to the end of the night, I made a new photographer friend who lives in a Switzerland, and offered to let me crash at her place when I go to Switzerland later this summer. Boom. One Facebook post. Now that’s cool.

If I find the scanned slide, it needs to be reversed!
Done!!
see C:\Users\Bill Crowle\Pictures\Other Pictures\Slides\Hunt mouldy slides
Cleaning the slide (described below), removed the mould on the emulsion slide but wiping while damp left more fluff lying it the direction of the last swipe!
I tried some Kirkland flushable baby wipes of organic natural solution!
Most if not all the mould was on the soft emulsion side, so you have to wipe softly and quickly before the emulsion softens. If you then wipe with a lint-free cloth to remove all the wet wipe fibres stuck in the emulsion you can feel the cloth drag on the soft emulsion.
Let the slide dry and harden for a few minutes then hold the slide at a flat angle to a bright light and you can see the lint stuck to the emulsion and the non-emulsion side. The emulsion side of a Kodachrome slide is the side with the Kodak label.
You can then use the lint-free cloth to wipe or flip the fluff and fibres off.
You can see the fires change direction as you wipe. This can be done firmly and several times on the viewing side but be gentle on the other side, the emulsion side.
Before scanning, I use a soft makeup brush to remove any remaining dust and fibres, especially from an old Kodak cardboard mount.

Those of us who have been travelling a lot before the time of digital cameras may have a huge collection of mouldy slides 10-20 years old. Some websites advise using alcohol to wipe off the mould. I have a better way. The wetting agent in these wipes provides just the right amount of lubrication to clean off the mould in slides without scratching the film too much.

This is terrible advice for one reason. People will go out and buy alcohol. It will contain water. They'll forget about the 99.9 pure grade and just remember some video on the internet said to use alcohol and buy the cheaper 91% or 71% and not even notice even if they intended on buying the right stuff. Or even having the 99% pure they'll grab the wrong bottle on the shelf and use that by mistake. Believe me. I worked supporting a technical product and you wouldn't believe the stupid careless things people did. If all they sold was 99.9% pure alcohol then sure. Most places don't even stock 99.9% stuff. People will pick up whatever is available and call it a day. I absolutely, positively, guarantee this. No. Bad. Buy regular film cleaner. It isn't that expensive. Follow the directions. People cleaning 70 or 80 year old film likely know what they are doing or will research the film and use the right stuff as recommended by the manufacturer. Seasoned photographers will not watch this video because they already know how to clean film. This video will only attract new people who might not even have ever used film who want to scan something but not really know what they are doing. There are certain types of film that will be ruined using any type of cleaner. They will not know this. (Polachrome is one)
I am not a fan of being "polically correct." I feel that ploitical correctness has greatly contributed to the pussification of this country. Especially with teens. Kids kill themselves over a Facebook post these days. Pretty damn pathetic. If parents would just teach their kids a little toughness instead of how to just "play nice" we wouldn't have these sorts of problems.
I remember seeing Rodney King on TV during the LA riots asking, "Can't we all just get along?" I say fuck that! Fighting, disagreeing, and arguing all build character and a little toughness.
With that being said, I thought that I would be a little more sensitive with the title of this photo.

According to my charts, the S.H. Figuarts Wonder Woman 84 figure should be released soon, so I suppose it's an opportune time for me to back pedal and fill in a gap or two in the collection.
Back in the Winter (man does it feel like forever), I purchased the Mafex Justice League Wonder Woman figure, after being thoroughly disappointed with the Mezco release and not having found the first Figuarts release at a sane price (that came a few months later).
While the Mafex JL WW was not as articulated in body as the Figuarts was, the Mafex body was generally functional (lightyears better than the Mezco one) and had a much nicer head sculpt. Between the two, I gave the slight win to the Mafex.
The WW 84 Figuarts release, based on photos, is well positioned to resolve the face issue, but I foresee some issues that unless I'm mistaken, they didn't resolve from the first release. But the harping on that figure will happen in due time.
A few nights ago, I stumbled upon a Facebook post selling the one Mafex Wonder Woman I did miss/pass, the solo movie version. It wasn't complete, missing the uncoiled Lasso of Truth, but for $30 CAD, I wasn't too fussy.
I had done my homework already so I knew what to expect. The solo version has the same body as the JL version, so articulation was going to be identical. The solo figure would come with the Godslayer Sword and.. whatever they called her shield, rather than the BvS or JL version (which strangely changed anyway). She'd have both coiled and uncoiled Lasso of Truths, but solo would lack the Motherbox. The Bandolier, like the JL version, wraps up to her right shoulder, and features a spot to hold her sword.
Like the jump from solo to JL, the jump to solo from BvS was pretty significant from a finish perspective. The solo figure featured some brighter colours compared to the JL version, which looking at it now, seems to be the case for the WW 84 movie. The Bracers of Submission, along with her armlet, feature some light gold highlights
Mafex hadn't quite figured out what a healthy human being looked like yet, so the solo figure complexion was still somewhat on the yellow side. It does appear that Mezco was aware of what a human face looked like, however. The improvements over the BvS version were quite noticeable, even if it was simply the BvS sculpts actually being painted properly - the neutral face on the JL version appears to be a reworked solo face, but the angry head is definitely all new.
Overall, I can't say I was disappointed with this figure, given the price and background knowledge. I purposely skipped getting this figure at full retail as the improvements really didn't tickle my fancy until the JL version. While having it in hand does show me the improvements were quite significant compared to BvS, there is nothing in the solo version that would possible cause me to dethrone the JL figure.
As of this writing, there has strangely been no Mafex solicitation for the WW 84 movie, which is a shame because they were definitely moving in the right direction with the JL release. Maybe Bandai was the only player this time around, which is great cause I'd love a Figuarts Golden Armour to go with my McFarlane.
On the other hand, who knows - 2020 has been a messed up year, and we're only halfway there. I guess ultimately, only time will tell.
I originally thought it was just a praying mantis of a different color, but a comment on my Facebook post told me that it was actually a Chinese mantis I don't know if it comes from China or that is an insult to the Chinese people.

While photographing eagles along the river, we noticed one of the eagles had what appeared to be a broken beak. We weren't sure whether it was a deformity or injury, but wondered whether the bird would be able to survive.
A few days later I found a Facebook post on the "Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge" page with a note from Gloria Vincent who provided some background on this bird.
"I did hear briefly from Marge re this eagle. She is in the process of writing a paper on the bird. Here is what she said in her emails.
“A shortened version of the story is…On Mother’s Day 2006 I received a call from a frantic woman to inform me her son and his friends had a bald eagle in their trunk. We arrived to find an unconscious Bald eagle in the trunk of a car with 3 teenage boys in attendance. They had “clubbed her” it seems as a way to “restrain” her so they could remove fishing line from her body. Clubbing an animal usually results in death. The boys may have been unaware of that.
I took the poor eagle in my arms, and held her during the 30 miles to REGI. A short time before we arrived the eagle stirred. She was alive! It was weeks in intensive care and finally she was able to stand and then eat on her own. She was a stunning adult female but had brain injury. She was amazing and fought every day to recover. When she was admitted she “looked” perfect in every way, but in short order parts of her once gorgeous beak fell away. Still she fought on and used the beak as if there was nothing wrong.
“Every wildlife facility and expert I consulted with on this case advised I euthanize her. We listen to our patients here at REGI and allow them to be our guide. This bird never showed pain or agony after she began to recover, in fact if anything we noticed a stronger spirit and determination.
“After nearly a year in rehabilitation and after we tested every aspect of her health, conditioning and her now unusual beak for strength, winter hardiness and ability to use it with perfection, we released her on May 5, 2007 at the REGI compound after a year of rehabilitation. We evaluated every aspect of her condition before making this decision.
“We never forgot her. I remained confident that she was doing just fine, but there was no solid proof of that…UNTIL a photo showed up on one of the eagle sites. I recognized her in a heartbeat but had to search old files for my photos. I was able to access them a few days ago and guess what? Old “Notch-beak”, now famous in the Quad Cities is indeed my former patient.
“This is the first I have written about this amazing bird. I have yet to thank the wonderful photographers that sent me the photos. This winter has been so difficult. It has put me so far behind, but I will catch up and tell them of my gratitude. Never lose faith in what is possible in the wild world. Just when things seem the most dismal it will surprise you."
REGI, by the way, is the Raptor Education Group, Inc. in Antigo, WI., a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for injured or orphaned birds.
My facebook post read "It's gonna be an EPIC sunset tonight!!"... as I raced down to the beach after work on Friday night with my gear ;-) I was right!!! my camera didn't know what to do with all the color!! It certainly was EPIC and one of the most magical I have ever seen. I hope you'all are having a good weekend and out having lots of fun and taking lots of photos this summer! I know I have....! Looking forward to slowing down a little and hoping to be afforded time to catch up with all your holidays/ vacations/ posts!!
Thanks as always, for your Flickr LOVE!!!
Before we move further along the route it's worthwhile looking again at page B53 as well as B54. I must admit I didn't previously know that 3V11 ran on Saturdays but it's on this WTT. The SO train didn't, though, go through to Whitland, it went to Marston Sidings.
Departure time from Grimsby was 5 minutes earlier, 4.25pm. The train stopped for 10mins at Mansfield Station, departing at 7.0pm. It arrived at Nottingham Victoria at 7.42pm, departing at 8.5pm. This might actually clear up some confusion. I've seen in various reports people talking about the Immingham Britannias stopping at Nottingham Victoria and even of detaching vans. Clearly that was not the case with the SX train. However, it could be the SO train they saw. This is further bourne out by a Facebook post by Stewart Warrington on the private group "GCR Leicester Central Railway Station" on 24 April 2020. Within the spotting record that Stewart posts there is an entry for Sat 17 March 1962 showing 70040 'Clive of India' (Fish). I don't think the SO 3V11 lasted very long with 'Britannias' as the possible motive power but it could explain the differing reports which said the train stopped at Nottingham Victoria, unless you have other evidence??
After Nottingham the train stopped at Leicester Central from 8.45pm to 9.5pm again presumably to detach some vans. It then stopped at Rugby Central from 9.43pm to 10.20pm and, again, I recall reading accounts from people seeing a Britannia there dropping some vans off.
The arrival time at Banbury was 11.13pm

John Ayers: Monday ain?t all bad
John W. Ayers, PhD, MA, is a social scientist and epidemiologist whose work is dedicated to the modernization of public health research methods.
John is a leading expert on the ?big data? revolution in public health, particularly for the study of non communicable diseases and health be haviors. His 2011 tracking of electronic cigarette Internet search queries was the first application of such data towards preventive medicine and was the American Journal of Preventive Medicine?s most cited research article that year?rightly predicting the rising popularity of electronic cigarettes. He harnesses search queries, Facebook posts, news media, and tweets to uncover how cycles in public health and disease are shaped by the physical and social environment. His work has been featured nationally by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Wired, with international coverage in more than a dozen languages.

A Facebook post* showed this same plant blooming with many flowers. That lasts about 3 weeks, and unfortunately the 'dated' photo of this exact plant had been taken perhaps 3 weeks earlier; when I arrived, only about 7 blooms remained. But it was not a disappointment, because I learned something completely new to me... and this place has so much more to see... as the rest of the photos show.
This is a 'Turquoise Puya' * , a terrestrial Bromeliad from the Andes mountains of Chile. It forms a rosette of silvery-green leaves about 3-4 feet tall and wide. Over the years, it forms a large colony of pups. The leaves are spiny, so move carefully around them. The "turquoise tower" produces a six-foot flower spike from a three- to four-foot rosette of spiked strappy leaves. The inflorescence can take over several weeks to complete its spectacular bloom. The true turquoise flowers have bright orange anthers which stand out in striking contrast. They are monocarpic and will not flower again. It can take a few years for its pups to produce their own spikes.
Puya alpestris, Sapphire Tower, giant bromeliad.

A facebook post from Sandra Samons:
"I hope I'm doing this right! Am I the oldest person on this web site, or does anyone remember this dairy? It was on the south side of Washtenaw at about where Huron Pkwy. is now. My dad, a partner in the dairy, is the tall lanky guy close to the middle. That's his secretary standing next to him. I don't remember her name, but only that my mother was very jealous of her!"
I saw a Facebook post that 516 was in Newton and cruised into town first going by the yard. I arguably should have taken a shot of 516 sitting on track 4 but decided to keep going instead of stopping by TPI. I had a helper and deciding how much they really want to help is more of an art than a science.
[Facebook post] Berlin's city hall, appropriately named Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall), stands not far from Alexanderplatz in the center of what once was East Berlin. You see it towering in the background here, the target of selfie-takers toward the front of the frame. In the middleground on the right is Berlin's famous Neptune Fountain. I have closeups of the fountain that I'll share with you later.
You might be able to make out the flag flying above the Rathaus. It's the Berlin city flag and it has a bear smack-dab in the center. How cool is that! I've heard stories that the city's name is related to the German word for bear (Bär), but I understand that they are apocryphal.
After the shock of Donald Trump’s inauguration day, when millions of Americans (and visiting foreigners like me) felt understandably distraught, bereft, dismayed, as the grotesque, narcissistic, predatory, corrupt fraud that is Donald Trump delivered a bleak and graceless inauguration speech, it was nothing short of a delight on Saturday, Jan. 21, Day 2 of the aberrant Trump presidency, when, across the country and around the world, millions of women (plus large numbers of supportive men) marched in protest against Trump and all he and his administration stand for — his disdain for women, his racism, his xenophobia, his adherence to intolerant white Christian fundamentalism, and, last but not least, his opaque, but very obviously corrupt business practices. Two US academics have estimated that between 3.3m and 4.6m people marched in total across the US, with New York’s turnout estimated at between 400,000 and 500,000 people.
Stepping out of Grand Central Station into a river of protest, with more clever, witty and insightful handmade posters than you could imagine, and with chants and cheers punctuating the general hubbub at regular intervals was to feel that perhaps this dystopian vision of America can indeed be overthrown before it wreaks untold havoc at home and abroad. And with no beginning or end of the protest in sight, it was easy to believe that the number marching was much larger than even the academics’ estimate.
It will take more than one day, of course, as the people of America need to unite like never before — everyone who didn’t vote for Trump, everyone threatened by Trump, everyone appalled by Trump, including, of course, those who voted for him but might already be having second thoughts. This could be a disastrous presidency, or it could be even worse than that, but people need to put aside any notions of complacency, and work out how to resist. This was a great start, and a historic moment that everyone there will remember, but now there needs to be much more action and organizing.
As you look at these photos, however, I hope they are a reminder of a day of hope across the US and around the world, when ordinary people demonstrated that fundamental decency will not be silenced, and that a tolerant, multi-racial society, featuring, at its heart, equality between women and men, and between people whatever their race, creed or color, has humour, intelligence and compassion that throw into even sharper relief how troublingly miserable, negative and ungenerous Donald Trump and his advisors are.
