YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

I'm struck how this account of climbing Mt Everest in 1952 echoes what astronauts say they miss on long-duration ISS missions: "a desire...to see grass and water and leaves once more"

The Worker’s May-Pole, Walter Crane, 1894.

See Halley’s Comet (Well, Sort of …) https://www.ufofeed.com/243956/see-halleys-comet-well-sort-of/ On May 5 and 6, stargazers can view the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, made up of fragments of Halley’s Comet. Week of May 3-9, 2026 If you’re old enough, do you remember seeing Halley’s Comet — the …

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

I slept so bad last night I decided to have a cheeky 3 hour nap at work. I feel much better now and it had the added bonus of making my work day go by faster.

One of the greatest deceptions I know is that mince pie isn’t savoury.

Yuri's Night - tomorrow, April 12. Very appropriate to celebrate the International Day of Human Spaceflight as the Artemis II crew are safely back on Earth! #YurisNight

I've done research and written down the history of a horrifying mass murder that happened in Sweden 1843, reading old newspaper clippings, etc. Tragic story! #truecrime #researcher #sweden

men will literally wear 25 pounds of iron on their head for years rather than just go to therapy

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

Quote this with your “eye strain” art!! 💥

If movie is an abbreviation of moving pictures couldn’t one use streamies or streamie instead of saying ”I saw it on streaming”

Home sick gave some time to rewatch some of my old favourite movies today I watched ”the Penalty” from 1920 starring Lon Chaney next up is going to be The Freshman from 1925 starring Harold Lloyd #moviesky #filmskya youtu.be/u4mAHUkiUDA?...

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It’s so annoying how many sites nowadays don’t have rss feeds to subscribe to anymore.

Funny coincidence today is January 21st anniversary of the beheading of Louis XVI.

I miss the prairies and the nature over there but I’m glad I left can’t stay in that place with how things are now.

All these current events lately have finally pushed me to move the last things I use gmail for. I might even delete my google account entirely 🫢 #CurrentEvents

I absolutely love reading old diaries from the 18th century or earlier. They’re just like us just in a different time.

It is so strange that crime doesn’t occur where people don’t live.

Waking up with -20°c degrees outside I consider not showing up to work and running away to join a circus in a warmer place.

I've heard Erich Von Däniken died, so here's - for the first time ever - the brutally honest text I wrote down after visting his Mystery Park in 2006. He turned into a racist asshole, but his silly books was a huge importance to me as a boy. #ufosky fred-andersson.medium.com/erich-von-d%...

today i learned about Livius Andronicus' translation of the Odyssey into Old Latin, of which we have only fragments, incl. the first line: virum mihī, Camēna, insece versūtum tell to me, Muse, the man of many turns the meter is Saturnian which predates the adoption of hexameter into Latin

Some of my photos of the fireworks on new years. #photography

This year’s Vienna new year’s concert had two of my favourite things. Good music, a fun conductor and some Wassily Kandinsky art.

My favourite band WINO just released their first new song since 2003. Only Time Knows sounds unmistakably like them. Same guitar tone, same voice I’ve loved for years. I’m genuinely so happy this exists. album.link/i/1859521173

I’m going to the mall today to buy myself a little Christmas present. I’m going to risk getting Whammed this close to Christmas. I’ve been surprisingly spared to hearing the song so far.

Did sleep last night, my brain decided to invent a tragically doomed 60s folk rock festival where many of those playing died soon after, and then screened a little documentary about it in my head.

Julegrøt is more than a bowl of warm rice porridge. In Scandinavia, it is a doorway into one of the most magical winter traditions in the world. For hundreds of years families have gathered around the hearth to stir creamy rice. eatshistory.com/julegrot-rec...

Bat Friday

It's Friday, and apparently bluesky is ready for this fun revelation: Dinosaurs lived on the other side the Galaxy.

Love sci-fi films, but always struggle with novels. My brain can't get to grips with: "Jake awoke in Neu-Croydon and trip-shifted his Snow6. He'd been zamping the Decortex Line long before the Tokyo Dataspleen Protocols, unnerving the Neuro-Eidolon Body who had once declared him an ultra Cyberpug."

Been trying out Kagi lately and liking it so far haven’t needed to revert back to google for anything so far.

Two of my favourite graffiti I saw in Dublin this weekend.

I love you and miss you madly.

Everyone go watch 'Nightfall'! I did the majority of the VFX and supervised the animation team for this film! I'm very proud of how all the dinosaurs came out and I hope you like them! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-xu...

Let me save you all some time & energy. 3I/ATLAS is almost certainly a comet. A really cool interstellar comet. All “anomalies” are well within window of normal behavior. Just platformed by the wishful thinking or misinformed. That’s the *actual* data and evidence.

Something lovely for the weekend! Magical amber animals from the Mesolithic. Carved between 10,000-7,000 years ago. Amber can generate static electricity⚡️ For their ancient owners, these small animals could give off sparks in the dark and make hair stand on end, as if by magic✨ 📷 me #Archaeology
