For instance, it shows up here in a letter written by Robert Burns explaining to someone that he is a himbo:
Letter from Robert Burns to a Clarinda, explaining he is a himbo she cannot depend on except for fancy poetry and prose: "What I said in my last letter, the powers of fuddling sociality only know for me. By yours, I understand my good star has been partly in my horizon, when I got wild in my reveries. Had that evil planet, which has almost all my life shed its baleful rays on my devoted head, been, as usual, in my zenith, I had certainly blabb'd something that would have pointed out to you the dear object of my tenderest friendship, and, in spite of me- something more. Had that fatal information....."

The earlier references I can find seem to be paraphrasing Horace
From Q. Horatii Flacci Odæ, Epodæ, Carmen sæculare "the blustering tyrant of the western deep, this well I know, my friend, / Our stars in wondrous wise one orbit keep,/ and in one radiance blend. / From thee were Saturn's baleful rays afar/ Averted by great Jove's refulgent star, And his hand stayed Fate.....

other people have shared this on other platforms, but I know some people may not have seen it yet- my friend, the ebullient, enthusiastic, always-pushing-me-to-be-better Mel Chua @mchua.bsky.social passed away Monday night, of bladder cancer. www.caringbridge.org/site/f77db13...

The Hanover Street Bridge wasn't anchored properly when they built it in 1916, which is why it gets so many potholes. People have been saying it needs major renovations for.....a century. From a report from 1934: historicbridges.org/maryland/han...
"At the present time [1934], the entire project while not unsafe for use, is in poor condition structurally. The arcade and the fill at the north, or Baltimore end of the main bridge, are settling. The concrete work is in poor shape on the big bridge, having crumbled in numerous places. The fill at the main branch has settled and continues to settle; and the north abutment of the 600 ft. bridge must be replaced. The entire job, in the opinion of various people, was poorly carried thru, with the result that there has been a continual patching process required to keep the project in passable condition"

I really like this label art, for Meteor Mash from Burlington Beer Co.
Beer label, black background with iridescent green, purple, and silver drawings of a rocket ship and stylized meteors, comets, planets, stars, and abstract shapes. "Meteor Mash; Double stout with coconut, chicory, and milk sugar"
