After many years of publishing my Fridays Finds, I have given up. Even Mastodon has made their user interface so opaque that after an hour I could not find the favourites I had marked for the last month. They were available on my phone app but I cannot be bothered trying to transfer each favourite from the phone to the desktop, where I usually write my posts. So it’s the end of an era. The first Fridays Find was posted in 2009 and there have been a total of 458, all in the archives.

Perhaps a listen to Who broke the Internet would be appropriate. I am writing much less here in public because I do not want my work scraped by the large language models that feed the likes of Chat GPT.

Here is a lovely photo shared on Mastodon to close this series.

Au revoir mes amis.

A thin ridge of dark, broken limestone is crowned by golden larches and deep‑green pines, where a small pale cabin sits near the edge catching low sunlight. Behind them rises an immense vertical wall of stratified rock, its slate‑blue surface etched with diagonal veins, folds, and fractures that create a dramatic, textured backdrop. The cliff face fills most of the frame, looming in cool shadow and emphasizing the scale contrast between the tiny treeline and the towering, glacially scoured mountainside.
