My goodness, what wide-ranging interests Alime has: politics, physics, many genres of music, other people's baby pictures... I did wonder if DM's would be her next step. Wonder who built her

Recycled sunshine! :-)

FUR/TORN, by David Torn 8 track album

David Torn. A sonic wizard. Sequences of remarkable moments, sculpted sounds, form a sustained meditation #guitar

Man, I remember those days. Scoring some Lyapunov exponents off a dodgy geezer in a pub; gathering at midnight on a disused airfield, five thousand strong, to bifurcate and bifurcate until the feigenbaums kicked in... It sounds so sordid now, but we were young and it was beautiful.

Baffling. #neoliberalism

Do not die like this!

Coniferous trees in a sunless forest, branches shrouded in mossy strands

In the dark, dank forest

but it depends what you want - this would be good enough for many people and many purposes

I let the phone camera do what it wanted. Venus is a bigger, blurrier dot than it should be and the Moon's crescent also is too thick. A camera would give you much more control as well as finer detail - you wouldn't want to print this any decent size. It's a nice snapshot, souvenir of a moment

From my mother-in-law's back garden in #Strathaven last night

Sehr danke!

Crescent moon with earthshine plus Venus - at the upper edge of a thin, dark cloud. Twilight sky beneath, chimney pots and trees along the skyline

Not at home so a phone snapshot is the best I can do. But what a beautiful evening! Get out and enjoy #Venus and the beautiful crescent #Moon (with #earthshine). Picturesquely placed cloud too, here anyway #astronomy

it’s weird how “having a job that isn’t actively evil” now feels like a genuine luxury

When you think of your experiences of learning, you might remember sitting at a desk in a quiet classroom.

But lifelong learning is different. It isn’t just about what you’re learning, but the people you’re learning with too.

More famous people who fell asleep in front of you at the movies, please.

they're lovely, aren't they? And I didn't go looking for any particularly favourable time, there are always nice examples when the Sun is active. Magnetic field lines take on the character of structures in the plasma of the high-temperature corona

here are some coronal loops, extending over the limb of the Sun, as seen just now by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (false colour representation of ultraviolet light). Stock-in-trade for us, despite the funny jargon :-)

The story about the wise English Queen and the Great Russian cosmonaut — Steemit I had a great English teacher in High school, he was the first one to tell me this story. I think it's truly touching.… by russian-life

Here's how to drink tea Gagarin-style. Make black tea (let's go with Russian Caravan) and put a slice of lemon in it. Let the lemon infuse, sip your tea, then eat the lemon!

Things seen from space: the Great Wall of China I t's quite a claim to make: that such-and-such a 'man-made' thing can be seen from space. The one people are probably most familiar with is...

There's a popular myth that Yuri Gagarin saw the Great Wall of China from space - but it's not true! In this post, I delve into the heritage significance of things seen from space. 🧪 🏺 #YurisNight

Wow. This is so evocative - really makes you imagine looking down from space with Yuri Gagarin's eyes ....

'the Moon certainly does not possess a smooth and polished surface, but one rough and uneven, and, just like the face of the Earth itself, is everywhere full of vast protuberances, deep chasms, and sinuosities'.

daft. That's more than enough flat-earthery for me. Thanks! - I think

Is Trump About To Nuke Iran? The fact we can't say "no" for sure should terrify us.

I've had a lot of conversations with national security-focused colleagues in recent weeks, and come to believe we are wildly underestimating the chance Trump goes nuclear against Iran. I think it's about three percent — which is an astoundingly high chance. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-trump-a...
