The Resurrection of the Greatest Sci-Fi Writer You’ve Never Read
He was beloved by Neil Gaiman and Robert Jordan, and so good that he won a World Fantasy Award for a Christmas card. How did John M. Ford disappear?

I’d bet that there’s illegal drugs on some of those boats… @… https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

En Guadeloupe, une journaliste écartée de l’antenne après un vif échange avec Jordan Bardella
La présentatrice du journal de 13 heures de la radio privée RCI, Barbara Olivier-Zandronis, a été mise à l’écart après un entretien tendu avec le dirigeant d’extrême droite. La direction du média dément toute ingérence politique.

Le grand écart de Jordan Bardella sur le droit à l’avortement
Si le Rassemblement national se veut progressiste en France, il ménage ses partenaires les plus conservateurs en Europe, en témoignent ses abstentions répétées sur des textes-clés portant sur les droits des femmes.

Completing a PhD while coordinating a graduate school is no easy task in itself. So I’m delighted to hear that my colleague Maren Jordan from @… not only managed to achieve that, but that her dissertation “Temporalities of Reproduction: Fertility Transformations across Generations in the Sultanate of Oman” was also awarded the Frobenius Research Prize. Full statement …

Attached: 4 images A few weeks ago, I shot a friend's 1976 Datsun 280z 2+2. Such a beautiful car. My dad told me my first ride in a sports car as a little kid was a Datsun 280z and that must have been what sparked my joy for cars (probably other things as well, but I'll roll with that nice story!).

An analysis of the solar differential rotation in solar cycle No. 19 (1954-1964) determined using Kanzelhoehe sunspot group positions
We study solar differential rotation (DR) for solar cycle No. 19 (1954-1964) by tracing sunspot groups on the sunspot drawings of Kanzelhoehe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research (KSO). Our aim is to extend previous DR analysis from the KSO data (1964-2016) to the years prior to 1964 to create a catalog of sunspot group positions and DR parameters from KSO sunspot drawings and white light images. Synodic angular rotation velocities were first determined using the daily shift (DS) an…
