YouTube video by The Raveonettes - Topic LUCIFER

#31 "Lucifer" by the Raveonettes from Pe'ahi II. I do have a soft spot for the Raveonettes. They kind of came and went as critical darlings, but they got that goth/pop/garage thing down: youtu.be/jE9__SjHbF0?...

So, to mark the end of the year, I am going to count down starting today my favourite 31 songs from 2025. These aren't the "best" (whatever that means) and really speak to whatever caught my fancy. I apologise if your favourite songs aren't on this list. Get your own list, dammit. Enjoy!

Top: "Don't Make Me Tap the Sign" Bottom: "No complaining about faculty salaries if you’re ok with paying the football coach $12 million a year."

👏Stop👏paying👏college👏football👏coaches👏so👏damn👏much.

Imagine adding up all the DI football coach salaries and buyouts when they are fired and converting that to faculty FTE. The number would be ungodly.

F-302s have SCSI hard drives, eh?

Ok, so, short of another eruption somewhere, I am peacing out from social media until Monday.

May you have someone in your life who looks at you like Chairman Kaga looks at a bell pepper.

I am pondering my next sabbatical. Do any of you at universities across the globe have programs/fellowships for visiting scholars/faculty from abroad? I'm especially interested in Latin America, Scotland, Wales, England, Japan, Finland, New Zealand, Australia. Thanks! [Reposted from the weekend.]

Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius in the Bay of Naples area are extremely hazardous. Millions of people live in or near restless volcanoes. Not sure if we're looking at a catastrophic eruption in our lifetime, but a repeat of 1538 Monte Nuovo would still be dramatic.

The Hayli Gubbi tephra has been sampled. These are photos from my sampling expedition on 24 Nov with the University of Semera from around 10 km north of Hayli Gubbi @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @alarosa.bsky.social

Fascinating and timely work on the intrusion that preceded the #HayliGubbi eruption - this will turn out to be a very valuable example for volcanologists!

I’m skeptical. I think Night of the Hunter is #1.

A few hours.

Nope. No evidence of this when you search for such a correlation

I've said this before: my dad worked on HAARP. I have a HAARP baseball cap and fleece vest. If it is a secretive super weapon, it has a lot of great swag.

GVP says ~4,266 within 30 km.

Now I got to go to a Suzuki viola/flute recital. The world is weird.

Eruptions Newsletter Extra for November 23, 2025 Unexpected eruption from Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia.

I whipped up a new post/newsletter extra for the Hayli Gubbi eruption. First time I've had to post an extra edition! #volcano #eruption eruptions.beehiiv.com/p/eruptions-...

Here is a hastily constructed animated gif from different NASA satellites showing the progression of the Hayli Gubbi eruption. Note the tall ash plume spreading NE (right) and a lower, light tan ash flow(?) moving NNW. #eruption #volcano

Here's the GVP page of Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia: volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?.... Plume from the eruption can be seen in this Aqua/MODIS image cross the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula. #eruption #volcano
