Hey experts on the Gemini protocol (not the Google AI thing but the totally unconnected open internet protocol).
It's getting a bit difficult to search for it now due to the Gemini AI crap. Are there any plans to give Gemini protocol a new/altered name? Maybe an abbreviation or acronym or something?

My six years of Latin study paid off today when I noticed the inscription above this crypt. Everyone of course knows "RIP" means "rest in peace", though the Latin is actually "requiescat in pace" which translates more closely as "may he/she rest in peace". The "requiescat" is the third person singular present active subjunctive of requiescō (meaning "to rest"). But in this particular inscription, we see "requiescant" — the "nt" being the telltale sign that we've shifted to the third person plural conjugation, so "he/she" becomes "they". And since this crypt holds the remains of two people, "may they rest in peace" is definitely more fitting.
(I hope you're more impressed with this knowledge than my wife was when we drove past it earlier. 😆)

wow, 985 "followers". on the one hand, my count went *way* down when I migrated from TheBirdSite. on the other hand, the vast majority of those 985 accounts are probably real.
it is unclear how much reach I actually "lost" back then ;^}

Minna's Masks is a story about a girl who loves wearing masks. But one day, her very first at a new school, she realises that she hasn't brought her masks - and she needs them to cope with new people, new situations, loud noises.
And suddenly, you realise you're not just reading a children's story. You're reading a clever exploration of #neurodiversity and surviving in a one-speed world.
And bedtime reading is no longer just a rote task, but an opportunity to connect deeply with your shy kid.

🧠 Full-Stack Science — from raw data to the final PDF
While preparing the new version of my monograph, I realized something funny:
if I listed all the software I used, the “Used software” section would look more like a Linux manual than a scientific appendix.Because, honestly — everything mattered.
From grep, awk, and apt, to PHREEQC, R, QGIS, and finally LaTeX.Every single stage — data cleaning, modeling, visualization, mapping, typesetting — I did entirely on my own.
No outsourcing. No “sending for refinement.”
Just a full-stack, open-source workflow — from the first script to the final monograph PDF.📘 Draft available on Zenodo:

We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings.
CBS News is gone;
CNN seems about to follow.
The Los Angeles Times installed an AI-powered “bias meter” to warn readers against taking some of what they read in the paper’s columns at face value.
And all across the country, local news is on a ventilator;
the right-wing Sinclair network is taking over everywhere,
and the Trump Federal Communications Commission is lending a hand.
