Times News interviewed Chris Hadfield the 1st Canadian to walk in space. A great man w fascinating insights. Wish he was asked about God. When asked in 2011 if he'd consider a 1-way trip to Mars, to be 1st to visit he said "I would be honoured to be given the opportunity." youtu.be/17LTeOA5H-Q?...

Stayed up past 3am to watch Orion flying to Moon & Houston mission's Q&A w press. Whole event was an uplifting breath of fresh air seeing people working well together, Americans speaking softly, calmly, respectfully, intelligently. Felt like the 50s and 60s when people dared to dream of world peace.

Watching BBC live Orion spaceship on MacBookPro in England UK Fri 3 Apr 01:37 GMT. Love seeing all involved work so calmly together, great live commentary: crew's glued to their windows. Note, ISS Commander Hadfield said astronauts think of their loved ones when gazing out of their spaceship window.

BBC 18:25 Houston team meet shortly for go/no go decision. All systems have to be wking & Orion capsule at right orientation+correct position in its orbit. If go, no changing their minds w/o difficulty. Crews put trust in physics to get them to right place & home again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

4 Artemis II astronauts doing great currently orbiting Earth before heading to Moon in 2 nail-baiting hrs: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4... Chris Hadfield inspired countless kids. See him sing in ISS (2013 not AI) great example of physics in action, vid w no ads sudanwatch.blogspot.com/2020/03/prop...

Astronaut Chris Hadfield 1st Canadian to walk in space, flown 2 Space Shuttle missions, served as ISS commander said what they think about when gazing out of their spaceship is where their loved ones are.

BREAKING: UK's naval vessels, another one bites the dust. "With the United Kingdom and France largely on good terms in recent years, officials are said to have seen no pressing requirement to return the vessel to active service."

Psst! Don't tell DJT UK has 73 naval ships & stuff w bigly IQ. And that in WWII UK used inflatable tanks & decoys as part of large deception campaign that included fake military buildings and other tactics to deceive the enemy. Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_t... Above isn't April 1 joke.

Filing this here to repost on Apr 1 next year to reminisce about freedom & democracy; USA's 250th bday; 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by US, Mexico, & Canada across 16 cities, 1st time 3 nations host the tournament. h/t cartoon spotter Daryl Hannah @dhlovelife.bsky.social

Here's wishing physics courses such as this could be extended to the UK, the rest of Europe and beyond. Physics is a training of the mind, useful in everyday life and any career. "Physics isn’t confined to a textbook. It’s all around us in concepts you can apply while working in your future career!"

Dear Americans, you know you have a lunatic running the US. Only solution seems to have come from a female US ex spy who beseeched the US Navy to turn its ships around. Can't help thinking about Nicolae Ceaușescu: www.britannica.com/biography/Ni...

Americans are disgraceful for forcing their military to follow the orders of a demented Potus they're enabling to stay in office. Normally, it'd be wrong of me as a Brit to criticise the running of the US. But everything the US is doing now adversely affects me, fellow Brits, Europeans & the world.😢

From BBC News 30 Mar 2026 14:39 GMT: Spain says US planes involved in Iran war not allowed in its airspace.. refused to "authorise either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the war".. US & Israeli attack on Iran reckless and illegal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

UK Ministry of Defence @DefenceHQ Update on UK operations in the Middle East, 29 March 2026.

None of us can see ourselves the way others see us. US can't see itself how the world sees it & will never change because majority of US folks couldn't care less about what happens outside US as they get what they want in US & see no point in reading books, learning about foreigners & the world. 😞

A recent poll says 135m Americans support DJT. Many of the others say he must go now but don't say how. They seem to be waiting for someone to do something. Who? What? Marches rarely work. If Mr Trump went now, what then? US is still too broke and broken, cornered w back against wall = more war+$.

See below: Canada's strengthening its borders. Is US preparing for a draft? Starting on 20 April 2026 US army raises max joining age from 35 to 42. Min remains at 18, or 17 with parental permission.

Cool cats Nico and Nomi. Cats rule. Cats unite for world peace x

News of a poll yesterday says 135M Americans support Potus DJT. His family & fellow Americans are cruel to allow an old man in poor health to show his insanity on the world stage. Animals displaying dangerous behaviour would be made to sleep. When will this stop, what are church leaders are saying?

The headline 11am GMT says: "LIVE Trump's 15-point plan passed to Tehran as Iran says US is 'negotiating with itself' Iran has received the plan according to reports from Pakistan, which is acting an an intermediary. An Israeli minister tells the BBC that Iran is "probably" unlikely to agree to it."

What DJT said last wk including last Fri - as summarised in above post - appears to have reduced price of gold & silver. Dear Larry, I've followed you since you started on Twitter. You have many clever viewers. Sticking my head above parapet here to ask if anyone knows why gold & silver are falling.

*Edit: should read "Past Month" not "Past Week". This screenshot I took at 19:11 GMT showing "Today" while BBC News' top headline is: 'Trump says negotiations to end war happening 'right now' and Iran is 'talking sense'. Question: who's using AI to manipulate markets, politicians, news messages?

I joke about this stuff but 15 minutes before the Trump post hit the tape there was a surge in e-mini price and volume. Someone knew and traded.

Dear Paul, clever post, thanks for the much need laugh. x

Posted this comment today at @number10cat.bsky.social. Sharing a copy here for future reference as I watch daily price of gold & silver as barometer for big news headlines. Helps me to see when to monitor prices on hourly basis. Never been an investor. I don't like money, it's the root of all evil.

Dear North Americans, why y'all just sitting around gawping & moaning on socials while enabling US to carry on hating & killing like it's a movie & game. Meanwhile, rest of world has to suffer your inability/unwillingness to remove The Don Al Capone & his sycophantic gang from office. God bless USA.

Dear Larry, you are so on the ball. Why has gold gradually dropped from £4K GBP to £3,267 today & silver's hovering around £40, half of when gold was around all time high. I use gold & silver values as a barometer for world news. Why's g&s falling? Love you Larry, please post as much as you can. x

LUCA! How you discover such amazing clips? Can't be easy. Wondering what inspired crab to run, grab and run. Was it food, a stone, twig or what? Maybe food caused the excitement. Whatever, a treat for the giver, taker and viewer. See 3 vids incl Nat Geo's Pom Pom crab www.atshq.org/what-do-crab...

Full brief at youtu.be/w_11LXTr4UA tx to comment in Paul's post below. Feels odd to me not being bombarded w news about how US & Israel coordinate their strikes on Iran, Lebanon, Gulf etc. How does everyone know who's doing what when where how? Seems like a recipe for chaos & errors w AI in mix too.

As founder & editor of 23 y/o Sudan Watch blog, it's easy to imagine drug-fuelled rebels in Africa willing to fight US-Israel in Iran, Lebanon, Gulf etc. Russia has a deal w Sudan to access, in exchange for weapons, a Red Sea base for 4 ships, some w nuclear. sudanwatch.blogspot.com/2024/05/suda...

"..a literal presentation of what some of the Evangelical fundamentalists believe, that Jesus will return as a warrior with an AR-15. As they interpret the Armageddon prophecy literally they believe Jesus will come down from the heavens on a white horse. This symbolizes the beginning of Armageddon."

Dear Paul, 18 days ago I saw this news at The Times of Israel dated 01 Mar 2026: IDF says it has mobilized 100,000 reservists amid ongoing conflict with Iran. Number appears to be in addition to 50,000 reservists currently on duty www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent... _ _ _ bsky.app/profile/paul...

Middle Powers Band Together To Establish A New World Order ON Tue 17 Mar 2026, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with King Charles at Buckingham Palace. Following that, Zelensky held bilateral talks with UK PM Sir Keir and NATO Sec-Gen Rutte. Also, Canadian PM Carney met with King Charles.

NORTH Americans have shown their true colours voting in DJT as POTUS twice and enabling him to remain in office. They can't see themselves the way the world sees them. Some say the USA's 250th year may be its last. It's changed forever, has no friends and will never be trusted again. 😢
