C’mon you guys at the back

Started a new music box yesterday. Had to figure out the missing gear from the instructions, a couple of adjustments in the mechanism, but it works !
A starry night from my little solar storm Sasha.
Would have preferred Interstellar theme but sounds nice.

Life before cynicism.

i think i am going to spend the rest of my autistic life lamenting that we have the entirety of human knowledge and history in our hands on a moment to moment basis and pretty much nobody bothers to use it

Friendly reminder that zero gravity isn’t a thing

Because #bluesky needed more baby goats... You're welcome... ☺️

Lovely

It's a lovely clear blue sky in the late afternoon here in London. Here's a low down Moon show for you! Waxing Gibbous at 61.9%. Have a great evening. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

A long exposure image of the Earth from orbit showing the Dragon capsule, the city lights appearing like streaks with the green and orange atmospheric glow, many stars in the background of space with the streak of the Milky Way and both Magellanic Clouds as large circular blobs.

In 1951 a Swiss doctor & painter researched psychedelic effects by dosing himself with 100μg LSD then drawing his supervisor each hour.

Here's what Lászlo Mátéfi drew:

Vanilla ice cream cone, covered in a chocolate shell, rolled in chopped nuts, with a couple bites taken out of it, and two chocolate buttons inserted into the ice cream in such a way that the cone now resembles a barn owl's head.

Sunflower about to open up. Lots of sharp green leaves shooting outward, and yellow tendrils curling inward on the face

Legalizing THC is such an obvious good decision that at this point it feels like we’re debating the legalization of cookies.

Farming hemp is a solid income for rural Texans, and it grows well here.

Legalizing and regulating THC is associated with fewer opioid deaths. (Looking state-by-state)

i started digging a hole to China when i was 12 and i’m almost there

Morning fun. The fountain in the pool we've set up to entertain the local wildlife died. Replaced it yesterday and it's attracting more attention than the old one. This is a Cooper's Hawk.

Yeah isn’t it known to be an interstellar comet?

On this dreary winter's day, I'm feeling grateful because I have not one, not two, but three beautiful picture books out in the world. 🤩 Hard to believe, but wonderful. 🦎🦉🦇#nedbarraud #scholasticnz #kidlit #STEM @steamteambooks.bsky.social

This is a video of a bear on a trampoline. Whatever argument you may or may not have tonight is invalid.

AI isn’t going to drop Arnold Schwarzenegger from the sky to kill humanity.
It’s going to kill the planet by using up all the water to cool the machines storing all the data.
So Meta, Microsoft, X & Apple plus the other tech companies will be forcing humanity & life on earth completely dehydrate.

This oil painting captures a rustic, nostalgic scene centred around an old, red petrol pump standing against a weathered wooden fence. The bold red of the pump contrasts with the muted, earthy tones of the background, drawing immediate attention. The textures are rough and expressive, with thick brushstrokes and vibrant accents of green and yellow foliage creeping around the base, suggesting abandonment and the quiet reclaiming of man-made objects by nature. The overall composition evokes a sense of decay and memory, as if this forgotten relic stands as a silent witness to the past in a once-busy roadside stop.
