Mar A Liego North! 😁

Hasn't anyone bothered to tell the orange demagogue the definition of 'ceasefire'? 💁 Also, has anyone told him that a 'deal' between nation states is called a 'treaty'? It's gotten to the point where he just destroying 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 he doesn't like or can't comprehend. 🤷

Back in the north as the black fly awakes. Until you have met the northern black fly you have no idea. "Twas early in the spring when i decide to go For to work up in the woods in North Ontario. To the little Abitibi with the survey crew." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OlX...

Always follow your gut. This guy almost blew money on a brand new monitor after not initially finding the root cause of a broken monitor, but knew he could ultimately fix it if he tried harder. He was right.

@ms.now: This is not a cabinet meeting... it's a clown show not worthy of airtime! 😒 I was going to say I'll watch the BBC until further notice but they are showing this clown show as well! 🤷 I guess I'll just listen to the beautiful renaissance choir concert I recorded at a cathedral yesterday. ⛪🙏

“…any number of matters…suggest that Trump’s conception of the U.S. government is that it is little different from a company that he owns, in which everyone works for him. And if they’re not supporters, they’re opponents.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I'm setting up for the rehearsal of a Celtic choir performing on Saturday night. It gives me a chance to find the right nic placement and levels.

Just got back from taking my time machine 400 years into the past to record a Renaissance choir in a Cathedral, with solo lute & pipe organ pieces thrown into the mix for good measure!😎👍 I had to run my recording gear on battery power of course.💁 I'm listening to a preliminary edit, so far so good!🙏

Say what you will but PM Canny Mark Carney is merely choosing a best short term solution to a short term issue, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵!

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

@ms.now Alex Witt: I'd be more worried about the 'blow them to kingdom come' spew from the orange demagogue. Look up what 'kingdom come' actually means. 🫣

Starship stayed at around 68 kilometers altitude for several minutes and even gained some altitude before finally descending. That must be their 'sweet spot' for bleeding off the highest velocity. The last pic is a lucky screen grab of the initial breach of Starship's hull just before the kaboom!

Starship's maximum velocity was 26,749 kilometers per hour during reentry before the atmosphere was thick enough to start slowing it down. The 2nd pic shows what it looked like outside at the time. This is what Space Shuttle reentries would've looked like if they had external cameras like Starship.
