It's always fun to see how much occult philosophy permeates the works of figures like Newton and Leibniz, who are usually held up as paragons of rationalism.
Also, I really need to read a proper biography of Llull at some point.

Good opportunity to post the link to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Having a space weather service is one of the few things that make me feel more like we're living in Cool Star Trek Future, and there is precious little of that.

Get outside into a dark place if you can tonight - no guarantees, but a possible brilliant display of the northern lights.
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Can someone who is better at machiavelling explain to me the advantages of releasing incriminating documents on your political opponent /after/ a month long Mexican standoff you lost because your rival kept manifesting you had an empty revolver?

For perspective, GEMA and OpenAI feuding is like two vampires having a dispute over who gets to drain all the cattle.

Interesting! Scientists have discovered a new species of sea #anemone that inhabits the depths of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan. It creates a kind of #shell using its own secretions to house #hermitcrabs, forming a unique symbiotic relationship. 🐚🦀

I've been labeled "crushed piano" on bluesky, which is .. a surprisingly good approximation of my default mental state, but also leaves me wondering if that categorizes my posts as more "rude" or more "explicit".

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
