When you’ve spent almost nine hours inside the vortex of Psytrance, you can bet it’s my favorite genre of all time, because once you’re hooked on 145 BPM the line between hearing and being the music completely disappears.
The bassline doesn’t just sit in the background, it takes command with ruthless precision, rewiring thought into rhythm and heartbeat into tempo, proving again and again that Psytrance isn’t just what I listen to, it’s the sound I belong to.
By the time the flow…

I got a commission to render a map of the municipality of Macabebe (and Masantol) in the province of Pampanga, #Philippines 🇵🇭. So here’s a preview of the said map.
Almost all of the data is from #OpenStreetMap.
(Commissions are open if you want maps and like how I create maps. 😉)

Blank political map of Macabebe and Masantol in the Philippines. Surrounding areas are colored in beige while the municipal boundaries are shown as thick red lines and barangay (village) boundaries are thin red lines. Major roads are rendered as black lines while rivers and the Manila Bay are in light blue-gray.

Crime in large cities in the aggregate is lower in states with Democratic leadership.
But Trump focuses his ire almost exclusively on large blue cities in blue states,
sidestepping political conflict with Republican governors.
Trump threatens to deploy national guard units to Chicago and Baltimore,
ostensibly to quell violence,
a pattern has emerged as he describes which cities he talks about.
Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Baltimore.
But …

Trump claims Chicago is ‘world’s most dangerous city’. The four most violent ones are all in red states
Jackson, Birmingham, St Louis and Memphis had the highest murder rates in 2024 – all are in Republican-led states

When you shoot a 20-year-old roll of color film from CVS, you know you are going to get some surprises. In this case, all the photos are blue and almost unrecognizable. I did my best in Photoshop to remove the blue, and now they are more recognizable.

Warm Dark Matter meets Cold Dark Matter Isocurvature

Warm Dark Matter meets Cold Dark Matter Isocurvature
Isocurvature fluctuations can be generated in various scenarios in the early Universe. In particular, some specific models predict those with a blue-tilted spectrum, which is consistent with the constraints from cosmic microwave background such as Planck, although isocurvature fluctuations with an almost scale-invariant spectrum are severely constrained. We argue that cold dark matter (CDM) isocurvature fluctuations with blue-tilted spectrum are not only consistent with current cosmological dat…

Out & about in the Bernina Range, on our way to the Labyrinth, surrounded by majestic 4000ers (meters)... A dream! 😍
(#ThrowbackThursday, preemptive #FootpathFriday and my personal hiking highlight of 2024)

A glacier side moraine with an almost imperceptible path on its ridge is leading into a sea of ice, rocks and snow in the not so far distance. The massive glacier is just a few dozen meters below from where the picture was taken. It flows & drops down from the peaks in the back (all ~4000m and around 1300m higher up for my position), forming a maze of large seracs on the way. Sunny day with blue sky and some wispy clouds.
View across a large glacier (from the same moraine & position as other photo) towards the opposite side of the valley with its 4000m peaks, hidden below a thick layer of snow and ice, some side glaciers and bare major rock faces dusted in snow. Some dried brown grass in the bottom-right corner.

Some of you already know that after finishing TCR, something really tough happened — my blue fixed gear bike, the one that’s been with me since 2018, was stolen. That bike carried me through countless adventures, and losing it just a month before the start of TPR feels devastating. Now I’m in a tricky spot: no bike, no extra funds, and the race I’ve been preparing for is almost here. On the advice of friends, I decided to do something I’ve never done before — ask for your support. Every contr…

Galaxy-halo internal alignments across cosmic time

Galaxy-halo internal alignments across cosmic time
Investigations of intrinsic alignments suggest a link between the alignment of a central galaxy's major axis with the galaxy distribution and its internal galaxy-halo shape alignment. In contrast, blue central galaxies typically exhibit almost no alignment signal, owing to a stronger internal misalignment with their halo. We investigated how the internal alignment between the principal axes of the stellar and dark matter components evolves over time as a function of the total mass of central ga…

I took this #photo when I thought that I'd be almost there. - Because I had mostly looked about the elevation. But as you might see on the photo, the way flattens a bit towards the summit.
Well, it was a great trail - it just took longer then I assumed.
Some more context and a video are on my blog:

A trail winds its way through a lush, grassy area, with the vibrant green vegetation creating a serene natural landscape. The sky above is a clear, brilliant blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds. Trees line the path, providing shade and a sense of tranquility. A rock juts out from the grass, adding a touch of ruggedness to the otherwise peaceful scene. In the distance, a rocky hillside is covered with more trees and bushes, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wilderness. This idyllic sett…

the same view as in the previous image, but this time the sunlight is only grazing the tops of the cornflower petals, leaving the center of the flower dark
again the same view, the cornflower and its stalk getting a bit more light this time and the background being a lot brighter than in the previous two images
again almost the same view, this time the flower is getting a lot more full on sunlight than before, but the rest of the image is much darker than any of the previous ones, making for a stark contrast between the bright blue flower and the almost black green rest of the image

Content warning: Spiders and Titanic: The Oddest Pairing You Didn’t See Coming

Warning for anyone scared of spiders or the Titanic wreck!
Spiders used to terrify me so much I couldn’t even sleep. I overcame it by doing what they call exposure therapy, just googling spiders and looking at pictures until it felt less scary. Now, I actually want to own a tarantula as a pet, which is kind of funny.
Something I’m even more scared of is the Titanic wreckage. It’s a oddly specific weird fear, but I think it’s a specific kind of Submechanophobia, where the fear is …

Close-up macro photo of a jumping spider on a bright green leaf. The spider’s body is covered in fine light-brown and grey hairs, giving it a fuzzy look. Its large, iridescent purple and red jaws stand out, facing forward. Two big, bright green eyes add an almost alien appearance. The spider’s thick, hairy legs have dark tips. The background is softly blurred green and blue, focusing attention on the spider’s detailed features. The image shows the spider’s beauty up close without being threaten…
The photograph shows a section of the wrecked RMS Titanic on the ocean floor, focusing on rusted and corroded railings and deck structures. Marine growth like sea anemones, sponges, and small white invertebrates cover the metal, creating a textured surface in rusty orange, brown, and grey-white tones. The railing is twisted and broken, with a dark sea fan-like organism attached. The scene is dark and somber, surrounded by deep ocean gloom. It evokes a strong sense of decay, time passing, and n…

Roughly the bottom half is a shallow but wide creek with a few rocks visible above the water and others visible below the water, a little bit of a vegetated bank comes in at the middle left. The main event is a tall waterfall of brown rock with a large number of cascades on it; there are a lot of trees to the left, with a fall kind of green that was real, not just color graded, and an almost perfectly clear blue sky above it.

Postcard from California: Plastics ‘recycling’ – out of sight, out of mind
By Bill Walker Last year California shipped more than 156 million pounds of plastic waste to poor countries, with almost three-fourths sent to Mexico and another 44 million pounds sent to developing nations in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. That’s the reality behind the blue recycling bins Californians fill with plastic waste for curbside pickup. We may think we’re recycling, but we’re really sending much of our waste out of sight, out of mind.
