Heads up, folks!

Two Earth-directed coronal mass ejections from the Sun are expected to arrive tonight(ish) and predicted to hit Class-G4 tomorrow evening, thanks to an X1.2 flare unleashed by the AR4274 region on Sol.

Thanks to Earth's magnetic field we'll be safe.

But there might be .. AURORAS!

nearly every kid in the 80s tried to do this dance move at one point in their childhood.

Meanwhile …. Went for run and got back and this lazy git was still in bed

Hot town, summer in the city …. #Sydney

Run views from earlier this morning.

And the shin splints are subsiding — body is getting used to the running again! FTW

Local neo-dinos are loving all the fresh shoots, seedlings and flowers that have emerged with spring.

And they leave a mess behind!

Side note — there is an obscure unit of measurement for water volume called a “Sydharb” which is approx. 562 gigalitres.

Now you know.

High tide vs. low tide here in #Balmain

Tides are kinda freaky in that they show large masses of water shifting around the planet.

To fill Sydney harbour by this much is *a lot* of water!

This is the closest I’ll ever get to owning a tiger and dog pet combo that went on adventures together and tbh I never thought this day would come.

EVERYONE.

THERE’S A TIGER IN MY SUBURB 🐯

Just spent 30 mins playing with this guy and it was extremely rewarding.

Such a great character and instantly cheered up everyone at the dog park this morning! 💙

Decided to go with the VLA Antenna as we have Dr Michael Busch — Jansky Postdoctoral Fellow from @thenrao.bsky.social visiting and giving a talk on molecules and gas in the Interstellar Medium today!

Also, the gardens here on campus are looking great!

So how’s the stock doing?

I wouldn’t be relying on shareholders in any company to make ethical decisions (some do, but it’s not enough) because they have a conflict of interest that impacts their financial position.

Organic, public, grassroots approaches like #TeslaTakedown is the way to do it.

Another glorious #Sydney morning and glorious Jacaranda on our walk.
November 5, 2025 at 9:10 PM
The tourists have caught on that the jacarandas in our suburb (there are lots) are in full bloom and so they’ve come to take lots of photos with them (which is great for local cafes, bars, etc!)

The local dog park NIMBY-types are losing it and it’s all very funny to watch.

Max has been interested in birds more so than usual lately. I think it’s cause the Bush Turkeys and generally spring time sounds.

So I got him this cheap little bird when I was out this morning.

He was so curious about it and wanted to know if it was real. Lol.

It did not last long ….

And and and I saw this book but didn’t purchase it this time.

It’s got all the NASA patches from many missions which reminds me to tell you that Atlantis was the best Space Shuttle and i will not be taking questions or comments on this fact.

Also, it was a strategic decision to put a bookstore right across the road from my bus stop. Everytime I am waiting for the bus I have the “maybe I’ll go have a quick look” feeling and without a doubt I always walk out of there with at least one book.

Today it’s this by @chrislintott.bsky.social

The beehive! #Sydney

Just wrapped up a visit to the dentist and she was extremely happy with my teeth 🦷

Friendly reminder to get your teeth checked/cleaned twice a year … super important for your overall health!

Good teeth ➡️ better nutrition ➡️ better health ➡️

There are SO many galaxies in the Universe that some of them are eventually bound to look like each other.

I think I spotted one!

Quote posted below is a galaxy 4.17B light-years away.

Posted here is my photo of NGC 1232, only 50 million light-years away!

Almost an exact replica in structure!

Just saw that Jonathan Bailey is the Sexiest Man Alive (according to People Magazine) and this is such a funny way to class a single person. Imagine choosing 1 man from ~4 billion.

Keep seeing the cover on the right, but the left one is much better IMO and features a doggo (and he is hot).

A few years back I broke my ankle in four places so hard that the shockwave from the break went up my leg also snapping my fibula.

Pins, surgery, physio, recovery.

Surgeon told me I can never run again or risk arthritis and leg bone damage. So I stopped for a few years, which really sucked ….

A big thing happened this morning!

I went for my first proper run in ages! 🏃‍♂️

I love running so much, it’s my fav kind of exercise. Once you get in the rhythmic breathing zone it’s like your floating. Runners will understand!

Anyway, I was able to go running after medical advice and shoe advice!

Also …. JFC. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

He has truly built a powerful misinformation machine to fuel the minds of the machines into his Nazi views. That’s an uncontrollable reaction and this will spread like a wildfire.

But sure, Govt’s keep handing money over to this guy. Things are going to go totally fine*

The most unrelenting, excellent take down of Grokpedia (complimentary) you will read to date. This is so on point it should be read, shared and echoed.

It opens like this. Brava. 👏🏽
