Sometimes I like to take my satellite tracker for a walk across the sky. I just came across Luch/Olymp, a Russian spy satellite, sent up in 2014 to 'observe' other satellites. Although still transmitting it's now broken apart and exists primarily as a debris risk in the geostationary belt.

Well played, maestro. “I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership”

Recalling the time I shared a glass of something nice with the Anti-Santa, Hermann Nitsch. Someone with a sound grasp of German sadly confided that the artist had obviously had a stroke. I correctly ascertained that he - like me - was simply pissed.

This is the darkness. This is the birth of light. Warmest wishes for the season from Michael, @verlorenschatten.bsky.social, and all the Lollipop Guild.

🙏 @vmdtm.bsky.social ! This is Lullaby, a song I wrote some yrs ago as we all sensed some tide or other starting to turn. A reminder that light always returns (in flames if necessary) and that after every almighty mess, a clear-up comes. Handy enough to remember eh!
