Amateur idiot interested in space. Hoping to make more people aware of the crews and achievements of the Paraglider Research Vehicle, The Gemini Tow Test Vehicle and the Northrop HL10 Lifting Body. Other items do appear.
I wonder if Elon and Drumpf are going to heroically rescue these folks?

Went to see @robinince.bsky.social not read from his new book of poetry last night: exceptional fun watching him operate at full speed without a filter and accidentally reveal the cancellable belief that life is better lived with kindness and without shame. flapjackpress.co.uk/shop/ice-cre...

Good job France.
Supermarkets donate to Olio here in the UK but unfortunately just a few (as it's not law).
Hopefully it will be law one day.
Food dates are just guesses and/or when the food is at it's best - Best Before. So many things can be frozen or eaten within the next few days.

In other news: France becomes the first country to force all Supermarkets to donate unsold edible food to charities to feed the poor. France is urging the world to rethink waste—and showing how policy can support both sustainability and social justice.
Trump would never allow this here. 🤬
