Dumpster diving for art? Naaah, will pass, thanks. Be more Leslie, be a normal human. Don’t be the tech-bro.

The last annual review concluded the SS Richard Montgomery was perfectly safe!

And as a demonstration of exactly how safe it is it also banned aircraft from flying anywhere near it in case, y'know, the wreck spontaneously makes itself a lot safer in a manner incompatible with continued aviation...

Have I sailed as close as you are legally allowed to do to have a nose at the SS Montgomery?

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

Today has been A Lot. Mainly good, but a lot of people and a lot of emotions. And I would love to talk about some of it, but bluesky still won't let me limit interactions, so here we are

Thirteen years ago, “Poland Can Into Space” was just a meme.

Now it’s reality. 🇵🇱

With @wojtekbrzezinski.pl, I discussed how ambition & smart public spending turned a joke into Europe’s fastest-growing space sector.

So it’s the tenth birthday of Midnight, a book that was nearly but not quite a lot of things. Happy birthday, little book. Still looking good.

The most (only) interesting thing about Dick Cheney to me was that at one point he had a specific type of artificial heart that functioned like an aquarium filter. It kept his blood circulating constantly, so he literally *had no pulse* from 2010 to 2012 (when he got a heart transplant).

We had a sitter for Nandor and Stevie whilst we were away this weekend. This is what she opened the door to every day. A mardy little welcome committee.
