The US-Israeli war against Iran has now driven up crude oil prices by around 50%.

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...

I went to see an exhibition in #Hamburg today advertised as "from Herakles to Superman".

But the exhibitors decided to make 1 room about US superheroes an…

A poster advertising the exhibition. A crowd of US American superheroes is shown in front of a temple-like building, with the Graeco-Roman gods watching from above. The gods are depicted as white statues. A yellow headline reads: "Mythos Superhelden, von Herakles zu Superman", in English "Mythos Superheroes, from Heracles to Superman".

Prof Sir John Curtice, on the English council election results based on key wards:
"A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance."
"It should be remembered that Labour may often lose seats to Reform because it is losing votes to the Greens, while the Conservatives are losing votes to Reform. The net effect can be that Labour end up losing a seat to Reform."

Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping the global mean surface temperature (GMST) at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial age (1850-1900) levels. Currently, the GMST is at 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C but is projected to reach 3 degrees C with the current direction of climate change. The findings are detailed in a…

Expected to be usually ~0.5/50%. How does one calculate the probability for a given length n that it's above or below a certain value, i.e. <=40% or >=60%?

I inherited my copy of Plato's Republic from my father, and I have always assumed he got it while he was at university. He probably did. But I assumed he bought it new, and he didn't. He's written his name on the flyleaf, but above it someone else has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' (very nice handwriting). The title page dates it to 1881.
So this wee book is probably one hundred and forty five years old. It's in remarkable condition.

A small book bound in dark green leather, with some stamped gold leaf decoration. In a red panel on the spine, it is entitled 'Republic Of Plato', in gold serif capitals.
The flyleaf, on which someone has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' in very neat handwriting, and my father has scrawled 'A T Brooke' underneath.
Inside, the text is quite dense, but very clear and legible.

I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Photo of an antenna link between 12 meter and 15 meter segments, shown above a metric scale. The entire link is between 17 and 18 cm long. Dacron cord carries the load between the two segments, which are connected by banana plugs insulated by more heat shrink.
The same link as in the first picture, this time disconnected.

Latest analysis shows the event poses no new risk to the @Space_Station, its crew, or to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite along with any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and the @USSpaceForce.
The event also posed no new risk to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink with payload deploys well above or well below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions."

My moment of clarity in the last few weeks was coming back to “Oh right, copyright is a hack, and one that is not serving us, particularly us on the margins”
The moral rights of authorship and the way we situate our legal process of ownership are, actually, kinda at odds. And it entirely misses the idea of a commons, both as community and as a cultural base to draw from.
I've long believed that we, collectively, should own our culture — to have modern myths be Copyright 1972 LucasFilm, the traditional songs we sing Copyright 1922, now owned by Warner/Chappell Music is one of the things I find repugnant about the situation we find ourselves in.
That said, reconciling that with the behavior of the AI companies, _particularly_ the American ones? It's hard. Google abuses its monopoly position; Microsoft has forced harmful and terrible tooling on people at every turn; OpenAI is run by someone who actively despises art and does not understand it; and Anthropic is run by a guy who is trying to make sure the apocalypse has a pleasant demeanor and doesn't offend any corporations on the way. All of the above have scraped the web with no active consent — and that's largely fine, that's what putting things in common _is_, that's the beauty of the open information world we have the remnants of — but also actively evading measures people put in place to stop it and with absolutely no willingness to engage with the process. Extracting from the commons _is_ the tragedy of the commons.
It does not mean that enlarging the commons with the resulting tools is bad. The doctrine of original sin is a Christian concept I do not subscribe to. The concept of 'fruit of the poisonous tree' is a legal tool to fix power relations not a moral stance. They're worth understanding, but they are not absolute moral stances that are self-evident.
These are not harmless tools, but so too putting hard regulation and corporate, legalistic scrutiny on everything has a vastly negative impact: it is a yoke on human creativity and community to the reins of capital.
And, so too, disruption has huge costs. We are, apparently, committed to doing things the worst possible way. One can just hope that we capture the good too, because the ride has started and it's rather late to get off.

Pastel Fog Rise
(Watching the sunrise and a dramatic fog rise on an early summer morning near Zugspitze, 2024. The summit is partially visible through the clouds...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Photo of a dramatic cloud forming from the dense rising fog near the steep slopes of the Zugspitze (its summit visible in a gap between the clouds). The cloud is illuminated by pink/orange pastel early morning light. A massive single red-white mast for a cable car is towering above the forest in the foreground, some nearby trees also catching the light of the rising sun. In the background, glimpses of talus fields through the clouds.

March was the first month above 430 ppm atmospheric CO₂ of this year, and only the second in about 15 million years!
The first one was May 2025; many more to follow, unfortunately.
Based on daily values at Mauna Loa, the average was ~430.2 ppm, that's 2.0 ppm higher than last year.

The Banqueting Palace, 2026 A looming building in a dark grey, rain soaked painting, with figures in the middle ground, on a bike, one riding on the handlebars, reflected in the wet pavement. Bare winter trees are in either side in front of a blue sky. Anderson explains: 'This is the painting of a memory. I wanted to recapture a walk home from school. The canvas is dominated by a dark sky. Devoid of people, it evokes the twilight of a suburban winter afternoon in England. A lot of the time th…
Passenger Opportunity, 2023-24, Reworked 2026 A huge panelled work featuring verdant scenes on the right and urban on the left. Subjects included slavery - lines of slaves in irons on the right, and family and community on the left. The colours are vibrant acrylic. At the bottom are images of departure, arrival and farewells.
Miss Sylvia, 2011 A striking, simple blue and yellow beach scene, with a single black woman in the middle, in a bikini, with her sun on her head and shoulders. The foliage behind her is portrayed by the absence of the blue background so the yellow wash shows through.
Untitled (Red Flags), 2004 The epic scale of the dark green jungle foliage behind this beach, stretching high above to fill the frame, dwarfs the crowd of people on the beach. There are red dangers flags in front of a red and white parasol. In the distance on the right, a line of fierce surf can be seen. For something so colourful and innocent, this picture of a busy beach gives me a surprising sense of ominous dread.
