It was a lovely weekend away, but I’m ready to be back to my routine.

Blue sky continues on Bluesky

Blue sky on Bluesky! 😍

Goodbye, Mum 💔

Monday grind… Goal: tree-trunk legs #gym #workout #LegDay

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.⁣

US grounds SpaceX's Starship after test flight explosion The rocket's upper stage disintegrated over the Caribbean, forcing airline flights to alter course.

This is not space exploration or scientific advancement. This is an egomaniac, narcissistic, power-hungry idiot wasting prescious resources on pointless toys.

I love a sunny winter day

I wanna find this in a bookstore or a library!!!

“Happy through intelligence.” OMG yes! Heaven!

I love posts like this. When you can take away something new.

Emergency management is about restoring the status quo. Damn! How true and as such, how powerful and scary.

We need to move away from the status quo if we want to survive!

Is anyone surprised? Mark is Trump’s ass kisser who’d do anything for money and power. Just like Besos, Musk and sadly, but again, not surprisingly, Tim Cook 👀

Duh. It’s called taxation. The premium you pay is tax and it depends on your income and family size. You guys just hate the idea of tax. That’s all.

Then someone says this: “So I wondered why can't we essentially just have medicaid for all where nobody has to ever worry about any bills, copays, etc but everyone pays a premium into it based on income and family size? Am I stupid for believing something like this could work?”

I am always fascinated by discords on these big American dilemmas like health care and gun control. Americans ask the question ‘how could we solve this’ and forget to look around in the world where these problems have been - at least partially - solved.

@maryrobinettekowal.com I’ve just downloaded The Calculating Stars and can’t wait to listen to it. The plot sounds intriguing. Who doesn’t love a clever and ambitious female protagonist?

The Insurance Apocalypse Fire, money, and who gets burned.

Pro-tip: If you're concerned that your work is too popular and getting too much attention, you can always pivot to writing about reinsurance and CAT bonds to drive readers away. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-insura...

It’s spooky here…

Ground News - 2024 was the first year Earth passed 1.5C of global warming, the limit set by the Paris Agreement. Last year was the world's hottest since records began The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens. The

We have done it: 1.5 degree Celsius surpassed!

Will the burning homes of rich people be enough of a wake up call or will we continue our suicide mission called capitalism?

Tim Cook donating $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Expected and unsurprising, but I’m still disappointed. I thought Apple believed in things that were exact opposite of what the Orange Man promotes. I guess I was naive to believe that Apple will be different than other big corporations.

Something from the past… #2007

Back to London after an emotional and productive few days in Budapest…

“Strength is more than muscle—it’s the discipline to push beyond limits, the resilience to rise after every fall, and the courage to face yourself and grow stronger every day.”

Happy Tuesday!

If you want to have a lighthearted night, don’t miss out on my friend’s musical at The Two Brewers in Clapham tonight!

Saving lives on this beautiful Saturday
