My favourite of the images I made this year: HOTOL taking off. It sort a long time in my head before I got around to making it, and it turned out just as I’d hoped.

Perhaps there should be a small fee for every time you post a screenshot on Bluesky of some bullshit happening on X. Like the original 10p carrier bag charge, it wouldn't be prohibitive but it would make you think, hang on, do I have to do this?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is where I learnt all the classic Greek legends that I’m now re-learning (and getting a much better understanding of) via @alexpodyssey.bsky.social
Ulysses 31 (TV, 1981-1982).
Jean Chalopin: "We were told that if we wanted to sell something in France, we needed a cultural alibi. We wanted to do science fiction because it was up to date. I'm not sure how Ulysses got into the discussions anymore, but one thing was said: in Homer's time..."

An estimate of the energy cost of producing one single 10 second Sora video: one kilowatt hour.
- Deplete and then recharge your iphone 17 68 times
- 10% of daily German household use
- 5.5 hours of Netflix
- ~4hrs of gaming
This is probably a huge underestimate
