Today in America, a gunman attacked a university in Virginia and another gunman attacked a synagogue in Michigan. Both gunmen are dead, but communities will long be impacted

Infuriating that our country refuses to take action to protect our schools & houses of worship.

Trump's supporters cheer the destruction of diplomacy. They applaud when he mocks climate science and bombs schools. But history will not be kind. 54% of Americans already oppose his handling of the Iran war . Humanity deserves leaders who prioritize peace, not personal profit.

🔮 No strait, no problem – Solar supercycle and the end of chokepoint geopolitics While politics is powerful, the laws of physics will always win

Solar does not care about the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil flows through chokepoints. Solar follows a learning curve.
Great piece @azeem.bsky.social

One of my older flower watercolours, sold a long time ago. Poppies, nettles and Macleaya cordata leaves in a glass jug.

Oriental poppies, nettles and Macleaya cordata leaves, watercolour. I wonder if that Macleaya (plume poppy) will come up this year? It often disappears for a while and then pops up again. It's a lovely plant, not particularly invasive.

Yes, a cat-falling expert.

Very chuffed to work as a writer for #starcitizen (no, I’m not telling anyone any inside info, don’t ask me 😂), but for those worried, don’t be - #baitandbleedgame is 100% still under development, and I will be making slow progress in my free time 😉

Is Victor Wembanyama poised to crash the party in race for NBA MVP? The Spurs star faces an uphill climb to his first MVP award, but he is doing his best to make the argument alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic.

“I need to press down the gas a bit in the last part of the season to win that award.”

It might be a year too early for Victor Wembanyama to earn his first MVP crown, but he is aiming to make a race of it.

On the Spurs' most MVP-like season in a decade:

Many dark blue mushroom-shaped spacecraft approach a green-and-yellow planet. The beautiful shape of these long-haul spacecraft (ACP Doralillow) is based on a plant found on Alpha II and reflects the Alphan belief that artistry and industry are intertwined.

Also used on the cover of Space 1 (1979).

Voyages

The Terran Trade Authority books made amazing voyages seem possible. This painting by Peter Elson is from Starliners: Commercial spacetravel in 2200 AD (1980) by Stewart Cowley. It shows spacecraft of Alphatel, national spaceline of Alpha Centauri.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.
