Nuclear armageddon! Is this it for real? Really?! | First Dog on the Moon The last time I was genuinely worried about nuclear war was more than 30 years ago. It’s nowhere near as fun now

🔮 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.

'STAR TREK: DISCOVERY IS TERRIBLE, I HATED IT SO MUCH'

'Ah that's a shame, I thought it really stuck the landing with S5'

'IT WAS STUPID WOKE TREK, I'M NOT WATCHING THAT!'

'Wait, you said you hated it? Surely that means you watched it and had an informed opinion?'

'WOKE!!!'

I’m pretty sure ‘Betty’ is not a real person

Welp. Seems like scammers have used my email address to mailbomb me by making lots of pointless customer support requests at sites and products I don’t use and never even heard of before!

Been avoiding all the ragebait and seemingly negative vitriol towards Starfleet Academy, and holding any judgement of my own until later. Enjoying it so far though, even though it is quite a bit different in format to the others.

How many nameless trafficked children… how many… how many | First Dog on the Moon Can I somehow unknow this? Is that OK? Please

Predictable. Everything that Bending Spoons touches, dies.

Huge storm (Kristin) just came through Portugal early this morning at around 4:15am with 50+ km/h winds in our area (up to 150 km/h further up north around Leiria). Power outage in our neighbourhood for about 2.5 hours

Hey Tom, I just crossed my 48th year around the Sun and I’m feeling pretty much the same. Can’t believe I’ve survived this long, yet so much more stuff I want to do and don’t know when I’ll be able to finish it all. Not enjoying all the random pains and aches and pains

microdosing just seems like homeopathy by a different name

A colorful space nebula that looks a bit like a bifurcated atoll or a lagoon. The nebula is called the Soul Nebula.

How I View the US After 13 Years Living in Europe YouTube video by Evan Edinger

I have been thinking about this a LOT lately, and have many things to say about it. Maybe I'll write a complete essay. But for now, this video is well, well worth your time.

At some point in the future, I may offer exclusive or behind-the-scenes content to members, but to be honest I'm not sure about what exactly yet. Comment below to let me know what you'd like to see.

Thanks so much!

In the coming weeks I will be adding more products to the store, including more wallpaper packs, postcards and other print products, in time for the holiday season. I will also be offering workshops and tutoring, if you want to learn or improve your photography.

To kick things off, I am offering some wallpapers for your phone or computer, from a selection of my photos. They are completely free, or you can pay what you want, on my Ko-fi store.

By supporting me with a membership, you will ensure I will be able to continue doing this full time, producing beautiful pictures from Portugal, Spain, over the world, and even outer space.

The will of Alfred Nobel says the peace prize should go to someone “who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses“. Does that sound like Trump?

MAGA Christians aren’t, really.

“DaisyUI” enables semantic class names for Tailwind CSS

There’s now a framework for a framework to add a feature to HTML and CSS that it had built in for roughly the last THIRTY YEARS

Ugh. So much for automation and self-service. Great when it works but awful when they can’t handle failure states. I’m locked out of my super account because they enabled 2FA without confirming that my AU mobile number is still valid (it isn’t, gave it up when I moved overseas).

Oh no!

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

“one user in the comment section who has schizophrenia warned that the AI chat bot, as it currently functions, would happily cheerlead a user through a psychotic episode because its only off switch has to come from the user themselves.”

My Brain Finally Broke Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension.
