Kinda surprised nobody’s snapped this up. Usually it goes in under a day. Would anyone like it? 🔭🧪
Would anyone like my @royalastrosoc.bsky.social 2026 diary? I use an electronic calendar so this is surplus to requirements. 🧪🔭

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Panorama made a silly mistake. The cut should have been made obvious, because in context Trump's whole speech IS insurrectional, & DOES encourage violence.
Now Trump threatens to sue the BBC. Well, make me new DG & I'll go tell Trump to go f**k himself.

Share a TV series from the 1960s you love.
My choice: Mission: Impossible.
(I have not seen ANY of the films. Don't judge me.)

HiPOD: Frosty Alcoves on Kaiser Crater Dunes
In this image, the dunes are partially free of seasonal ice, with the contrast making it easy to see the ripples. Deep alcoves have been carved at the crest of the dune.

Next off the shelf is: Death at the Sign of the Rook, by Kate Atkinson (pub.2024).
I think this is my 4th of 5th KA & I'm definitely reading them out of natural order, but hey I'm a maverick & she's a great teller of tales.

Today's boring post is about toning down the new shed from light ginger to a mid-chestnut. You're not meant to be a garden feature, you're a purely functional shed. Get over it.

It's The Great British Bake Off final already!
It's also a foregone conclusion, because unless Aaron or Tom get VERY adventurous AND manage not to have a disaster in doing so, then Jasmine's the winner. She's just been so good and so consistent that I can't see any other outcome.
