Delighted that @drkevinfong.bsky.social’s excellent podcast ‘16 Sunsets’ is now out. Extraordinary and worthy successor to the amazing ‘13 minutes to the moon’ series. Thoughtful, inspiring history of the space shuttle program and exemplary standard of podcasting. 🧪

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Today’s poem takes the form of a series of “Uninspirational Quotes”.

#mondaymotivation
Uninspirational Quotes   “No matter how big the challenge ahead, it’s never too late to run away.”   “Every morning is another chance to have an even less productive day.”   “Don’t be overawed by your own inadequacies – embrace them with a passion.”   “If at first you don’t succeed, then it will probably never happen.”   “There is no task that is too immense – the word itself says “I’m mense”.   “Think of Life not as a competition, more as a sequence of non-events.”   “If the breakthrough doesn’t come today, don’t worry – we’ll all soon be dead.”   “It may be too late to begin again, but it’s never too early to go to bed.”   “It takes seventeen muscles to form a smile but only three to look at your phone.”   “Should you ever think your work is no good, just remember: you’re not alone.” Brian Bilston

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky
Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.
