Good afternoon! This week's theme is Cats of London 🐈‍⬛️ ----- 'Milton's House, Petty France, Westminster' (1845) by John Wykeham Archer

Project Hail Mary is great! Two thumbs down! (*) (*) That is Eridian humor!

Clonmacnoise, Offaly, Ireland

Even now I've finished it, I still have no clue what NYT Strands is about today.... #743 “The Big Dance” 🔵💡🔵💡 🔵💡🔵💡 💡🔵🟡 www.bing.com/search?q=nyt...

A late celebration of #InternationalWomensDay @bankphysics.bsky.social but I love these @perimeterinstitute.ca posters and how clever and artistic is the They Made Their Mark poster too! I wonder how many will take the time to read it. #WomenInSTEM #STEM #STEAM #physics

Set out beat my age in a 10k, and promised myself some boastfulness if I made it!

6 games in and #bohs haven't been behind in a game yet!

It sounds goofy to say it, but speaking as a former firefighter, THE TOWERING INFERNO has some of the most accurate fire/smoke behavior and firefighting response (setting aside the gloriously ludicrous ending) ever filmed.

Super workshops for teachers in Dublin zoo next Saturday (mar 21st) ...with a few spaces still available. Register at oide.ie/teachers/ please repost here and elsewhere... @theurell.bsky.social @irishsciteach.bsky.social @kelleherscience.bsky.social @humphreyjones.bsky.social

Have a #painting from the southwest of Ireland. "Cobh IV" was not the first time I painted the Cork harbour town, and if I ever finish the paintings currently in progress then it won't be the last either. Shapes. I like them. #art #SpeirGhorm

I thought this was a great profile of Nigel Rolfe by Gemma Tipton Performance artist Nigel Rolfe: ‘Gay Byrne asked me what I was doing in the Late Late studio’ www.irishtimes.com/culture/2026...

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down. Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book. (And would much appreciate a RT please)

I know many are against this but, for some of us, Arsenal grinding out a league title with a series of 1-0 wins would have a warm, nostalgic glow. Raised on 70s/80s pragmatism, seduced by 90s beauty, now loving some pragmatic beauty!

This is absolutely amazingly creative! Seriously - invest 5 minutes. It will amuse.

Guardian reports that Iran’s nuclear programme has been among the reasons Israel and the US have given for the attacks, alleging Iran was getting too close to being able to eventually make an atom bomb. '...too close to eventually make....' Does that translate as ...'not close'?

My bbc:microbit listening in on the opening bars of Under Pressure. 🧪(open.spotify.com/track/7rgZTz...)

Even worse - this chart is the unit charge. The UK's standing charge is about £0.60 per day and €0.73 per day. In France it is €0.16 ...

Followed a link from @duncanjonesmerrion.bsky.social to find this really interesting chart: I can remember when Ireland was one of the cheapest for electricity in Europe, but then it was deregulated to make it cheaper...or something like that.

"Starter homes" Brits being "trapped in the first home they buy" There will never be homes for everyone as long as people continue to think of homes as merely investments

This week's theme was St Paul's Cathedral. Hope you enjoyed it! Take a look over the timeline for full details of these and the rest of the featured pieces.

What a great photo from the Bohs v Shamrock Rovers game!

3 points clear having played Rovers and Derry! #Bohs

#Mixtape on RTE is good ... but so confusing! I got used to it being filmed in Dublin, though it's based in Sheffield. But now one of the characters has moved to actual Dublin! It's like a bit-part player playing two (simillar) roles.

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

If I had to describe the last 6 weeks in Ireland it would be that horrible feeling when your sleeve gets wet when washing your hands but for your soul.

...boiling a kettle 4 or 5 times a day (which I do), puts about 400g of carbon into the atmosphere every week.. And if Ireland's 2 million home are as fond of the kettle as I am, that must be close to 800 tonnes on a national basis... 🧪 www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/carbon-...

but learning to swim and trying to learn the piano (gave up due to not having enough time and the expense) have helped me appreciate even better the struggles my students face. Which is why I’m never too hard on them. I have high expectations of them but they go hand in hand with my empathy got them

breathtaking

Not being able to afford bitcoin has turned out to be even more profitable than not being able to afford an apartment in Bulgaria. Any publishers interested in Investment Strategies for Poets?

Salthill dart station- nothing to see here. What #climatecrisis? #flooding #leafysuburbs #ItsAllConnected

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Thomas Bayes could have been born on or near this date in 1701.

I've been having so much fun with this: bending space-time and watching planets collide for my viewing pleasure! Kudos to The (US)NSMTF for putting it together, and to the ever-inspirational @hookean.bsky.social for sharing a link. 🧪 www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/gravity...

also this story contains the sentence "There is no suggestion that Veronika’s skills are evidence of the evolution of an ominous new species of super-cow," surely an early front-runner for sentence of the year
