Today I became an elected member of the Society of Wood Engravers, a reminder of the imminent entry deadline for the 2026 annual exhibition. Shown, engravings selected by SWE in 2023-5 and a probable entry for 2026. Good news in hard times.

35 miles cycling today on a rigid mtb, with a bit of technical trail, where I was really cautious cuz I didn't want to introduce myself to a tree and spend the remainder of the afternoon in an ER waiting for the on- call orthopedic surgeon to roll up

So I needed an 1 1/8 headset for a bike build and was looking hard at a Chris King for $200, then realized I had some nos headsets in a parts bin, so maybe this Deore XT will work.
Unless putting an mtb headset on a road frame is heresy.

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵
