This is quite good but, in my view, still a bit undeveloped. Nevertheless, it points in the right direction.

The view from here right now. #ski
Unfortunately, I’m hearing what @… said through other channels as well: it appears to be nothing more than a geographic shift. Someone just posted that Roseville (north / northeast suburb) is “swimming in ICE” right now.
Godspeed to the suburbs right now. I hope we’ve been able to pass along enough of what we learned here in the heart of the city. The sprawl is going to make rapid response a lot harder out there….
(If you can’t view post: it just says ICE was swarming the southwest MSP suburbs yesterday.)

The New John Handy Quintet with Bobby Hutcherson - "New View!" (1967)
#NowPlaying #JohnHandy
Went to the new Capital Brewing Lager House in the new East Trading Hall (which I think used to be Anzac Park East). I had the steak frites, which was pretty good with a nice smokey flavour and tarragon butter. The only slight let-down was the packet gravy (which just tastes of salt, MSG, corn starch and Parisian brown) - but the steak's good with the butter and you can drown your chips in the gravy. Their house lager's pretty acceptable too. The building is still a little incomplete…

TARRANT: If you could see the way you're behaving.
PIRI: No, she's right, I deserved it. I'm sorry, sorry for being so silly. It won't happen again.
TARRANT: Right, that's it.
AVON: What does that mean?

Some photos from today's hike in the mountains. To escape the fog.
It was very very icy at the bottom. And I was super happy to have my micro spikes.
The way up was pretty calm. Right the #silentsunday I had desired. At the summit there were a bit too many people and I didn't see proper motives. So I just enjoyed the view and the really warm temperature.
On the wa…
MicroSucks STOP WITH THE CHANGES! I had Word showing one page as my default view. Today it switched to multiple pages. I DIDN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO CHANGE THAT SETTING.
Small change, but one I should not need to make! I think they are annoyed that I changed from Edge to Firefox.
Also, annoyance is that in SharePoint using Firefox I MUST sign in every site I open. Massive (middle) finger pointing right now.

Facing east from Australia right now, using the app:
#artemis
The uncertain brightness and tail(s) development of #Kreutz #comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) is one thing - see the curves in https://astro.vanbuitenen.nl/comet/2026A1 and https://aerith.net/comet/catalog/2026A1/2026A1.html for guesses and https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2688 for the current value which is ~8.5 mag. - but the viewing geometry is the other: here it is for 51.5° North (my place Bochum) and 22.5° South (Windhoek) as the view is much better from the southern hemisphere.
The table first gives the elongation (angle between comet and Sun in the sky) and the phase angle (the angle Sun - comet - Earth) which nearing 180° can lead to significant boost of brightness by forward scattering on dust.
And this is followed by the altitude of the comet at the solar depressions given in the top line, for Bochum and Windhoek: sunset and end of civilian twilight and for the latter also the end of nautical and astronomical twilight, i.e. the onset of night. Also of importance is the angle of a hypothetical dust tail (simulated in https://hdr-astrophotography.com) after perihelion, also much better in the South: https://britastro.org/section_news_item/c-2026-a1-maps-a-kreutz-group-sungrazer - but first MAPS has to survive the latter *and* release a lot of dust at the right time ...

In my view, the SEND reforms are in the right direction but will fail because insufficiently funded.

Peter “Antichrist” #Thiel holds his “Antichrist” seminars in #Rome, where he will likely once again, as he did in 2025 in San Francisco, denounce Greta Thunberg as his symbol.
He doesn’t actually believe the talk about the #Antichrist
