I don't think I've ever been as happy to cross the Swedish coastline as I am today. 💙💛

On my way to Sweden. Let me share the beautiful forward view! ✈️

Hej Google! Visa mig världens minsta fiol. 🎻

Venus and Jupiter just above the tree line on our property. Venus is the brighter planet. In this case, it turns out being closer outweighs being larger. 🔭

Sweden's 1-0 and 5-1 goals against Tunisia by Yasin Ayari were absolute rockets. 🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsg...

Really rooting for Marocko against Brazil. It's time for African football to shine.

What the actual kraftuttryck is that pickup truck? 🤦‍♂️

If you know, you know, Swedish National Day edition.

OBS! Det råder varning för förhöjda parfympartikelhalter i Stockholm denna helg.

Practicing the Mok'bara during sunset on Risa.

Whish you were here. 🖖

It's time to show this flag some love again.

Monday thughts: If all goes well, I will retire in a little bit less than five years. If I am healthy, I hope to travel, spend time with friends, play games, go hiking, and read a book or two.

I really enjoy my Pathfinder-class ship, which is my first genuine science build in Star Trek: Online. I've named it the U.S.S. Sievert, after Swedish medical physicist Rolf Sievert. The SI unit sievert (Sv) is named after him. It is used in dosimetry to measure exposure to ionizing radiation.

I just love how timelines are depicted in Star Trek: Online.

I'm just a freighter captain getting a hot meal at the mess hall replicator while waiting for my cargo of tekasite to be offloaded.

Time to end this war.

Iconia, 200,000 years in the past. 🖖

It's war then.

Good ending to the work week. 🍾 www.reuters.com/world/us-jud...

The Iconians in Star Trek: Online are such an epic enemy.

NASA, Tuesday: "We have chosen Blue Origin for first three lunar missions." Blue Origin, Thursday: 💥 Just a thought, but maybe using multibillionaires' pet space projects isn't the way to go for crewed spaceflight.

"Ready for transport, Admiral." 🖖

I have not had much time or opportunity lately to go out into the woods. Today, the forecast was for scattered thunderstorms. They did not materialize, so I went for a short after-work hike. 🥾

Second breakfast at Elevens, a Lord of the Rings-themed café in Brunswick, Maine. 🧙

Pictures from today's after-work hike. This will likely be my last outing for a while as we're entering a two-day heat wave, followed by the graduation ceremonies at my daughter's college.

Whelp, I guess I'm building four different Phlage commander decks. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Good morning from one of our local great blue heron rookeries. There are at least three active nests with adults and chicks. 🐥

A Star Trek.

Checked out our local waterfall with my mother today. 💦

How hard is it to stop giving in to bullies, especially bullies as weak as Trump? www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I'm practicing looking young by taking selfies with my 87-year old mother. 😎

Liz Peek, multimillionaire ex-Wall Street executive and president of the National Association of Petroleum Investment Analysts, warns in an op ed that Mamdani's "failings" and "false savings" is going to lead to "wealthy people selling their apartments." Ma'am, don't threaten us with a good time.

I'm up to S2E23 "The Thaw" in my rewatch of Star Trek: Voyager. I really struggle with this episode. I am not fan of clown and carnival-themed horror.

Beautiful. 🖖

More ziplining shenanigans in #StarTrekOnline.

Mood.

Well then.

MTG mail day nine years ago. I paid $225 for it in 2017 ($305 in 2026 dollars). It's worth between $1,360 and $1,600 today, depending on whether you rate it as LP or NM. But I've never bought cards as investments: I play it in Commander.

What do the Eurovision Song Contest and Star Trek have in common? A hopeful vision of a better future. 👨‍🎤🖖

Former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, the first woman to have held the position in Sweden. They met at the 2026 Global Progress Action Summit held in Toronto, Canada this past weekend. She currently leads the Social Democratic party in Sweden.

I like listening to covers, especially if they are truly transformative. Unfortunately, many of my favorite covers are not available on Spotify. They're only on YouTube. If I had to pick my three favorite covers, they would be: 3. "Wicked Game" by London Calling: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K1z...

Not to namedrop or anything, but just sciencing it up with my buddy Harry Kim. 🖖

I love me a good secret compartment.

Grudge's cat collar from Star Trek: Discovery is up for auction. 😻
