Uh, let's see; how to distill the idea of 'me' ...
'I'm an 80's kid that never grew up' sums it up.
I like writing, gaming, science, maths, music electronics, art, anime, messing around with AI and sailing my decrepit sailboat like a dirty river pirate.

The world is shuddering into a new age; one not of glory and progress, but of greed and decline.
I take solace in the inevitable truth; the axiom that sows the seeds of hope, the harbinger of better times: evil's greatest flaw is that it always over reaches, it always eats its own tail.

Good morning from Varadero.
Probably my last chance to get a tropical vacation before the tinderbox of current global politics makes it completely impractical.

Dear Science Writers/Communicators
For the love of logic, stop saying "Time is an illusion."
If time is an illusion, so is space, causality, and everything else. Time is measurable, affects reality(GPS, entropy) and follows consistent cause/effect. Calling it an illusion is a logical fallacy.

Well the universe seems poised to end my pitiful existence.
I feel like death; but on the bright side, the fever dreams have inadvertently cured my writer's block!

“The Witch Head Nebula” is a large reflection nebula about 900ly away in Orion that’s illuminated from the star Rigel (seen right). This was a filterless capture of 15 hrs, but only 10hrs were usable due to a constant stream of dimly lit satellites right across the witch’s jaw. 🔭 #Astrophotography

I just love seeing the red glow if Betelgeuse.
Good morning #Bluesky friends, have a great weekend.
Here’s a photo of Orion that I took at Loch Morlich, near Aviemore in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to purchase an EV for the purpose of actively fighting global warming, just to have the CEO devolve into a sad narcissistic bro-dude who spent a childhood being bullied and wants to sacrifice everything to be 'accepted' in his new cult of white supremacists.
