Wildlife finalist: Lynx Pounce by Thomas Vijayan
This week's #podcast is going to be a little delayed due to day job/life factors -- we apologies & appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, if you've enjoyed our #lynx content, you might enjoy our previous creature corner episodes on:
Swans
Goats
Cows
Bears

In our recent episode, I learned that a #bobcat & a Canadian #lynx can reproduce (creating a hybrid called a Blynx)!
And, uh, well, we should prob leave them alone (you know, since scientists put a tracking collar on one too tightly in 2003 and it starved to death )
PROTECT. THE. BLYNX.

So.. erm... is this what you think a #lynx was gonna sound like??

In this week's episode, we're in #CreatureCorner to learn about the animal eponym of the #constellation #lynx!

So now that bit.ly is showing ads, if you need a URL shortener, #lynx is decent and #accessible and easy to host. And before you tell me that we don't need URL shorteners anymore and how they're a security risk, I need them for:
1. Business cards, slides, signs, and other physical objects that need a URL. While most phones can scan QR Codes, you can't read them out loud for #blind folks. If you're doing a presentation, "scan the QR code on screen" isn't good enough. You need to have a URL that you can speak and another human can remember. Yes, NFC is a thing, but it doesn't solve that problem.
2. Places that still don't allow URLs (LinkedIn) or where long URLs are awkward to work with (text-only emails, the terminal, etc.)
3. Times (like a phone call) where I need to tell someone a URL using the noises that come from my face-parts

Lynx Constellation done in watercolour, gouache and Phosphorescent (glow in the dark) paint.
Le #lynx est une espèce protégée, certes, mais qui souffre beaucoup des collisions avec les voitures, du braconnage etc.
Les lynx blessés, ou retrouvés orphelins, ont besoin des centres de soins.
Connaissez-vous celui de La Garenne, en Suisse? Son travail est remarquable, et je ne dis pas ça parce que je travaille en ce moment avec eux! Il a besoin de dons pour pouvoir construire un bel enclos de réhabilitation des lynx.
Chaque #don compte, alors si vous pouvez aider...

@kyonshi #ScotGov noticed that at least four #lynx were "illegally" released in the highlands, and have captured two of them. And they are threatening all sorts of vague consequences if anyone dares to release more, but it is already far too late. And they have been warned for the last ten years at least this was going to happen if they didn't stop dragging their feet on #rewilding issues. #FAFO
Footage of one of the original two lynx being captured in Scotland. Seems very tame. Even used to being in a carry crate.
Love how the person greets the cat with "Hello. You all right?"
#Lynx
@Gargron I wonder if all of this now slop, but eventually "great", AI crap will start pushing people back to using #lynx and the like, or even #gopher. Why bother with images and videos any more when signal-to-noise ratio gets below a certain point.
With browsers we learned to use #adblock and the like, but how to #aiblock?
At this rate the only winning move might be just not to play, and move back to text based tools. Or enjoy your new friends if you never left

Deux études publiques présentées le 2 décembre 2024, ont rappelé la survie fragile du lynx boréal sur le territoire français. Mixage génétique, anti-braconnage... La préfecture de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté s'engage à investir certaines pistes pour préserver l'espèce.

Jaguar is in the news today so it seems like a good time to look at one of the more interesting cars from the company’s back-catalogue. This is the handsome Eventer shooting brake, a conversion carried out on the XJ-S by Lynx Motor Company. Snapped at the NEC Classic Motor Show last month.
