The penultimate #AAS247 presser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiBq0KdXU9c about High Redshifts and High Energies dealt e.g. with An Unlensed Barred Spiral Before Cosmic Noon (https://www.newswise.com/articles/pitt-student-finds-familiar-structure-just-2-billion-years-after-the-big-bang and https://www.umass.edu/news/article/astronomers-find-one-oldest-barred-spiral-galaxies-universe), A precessing jet from an active galactic nucleus (https://public.nrao.edu/news/record-breaking-stream-of-super-heated-gas/ and https://keckobservatory.org/vv340a/ and https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ecz5crtdymxrlodycogpt/AB32N_1Bh3pyI2SyzbRGkTs?rlkey=zbyz1muz40y1rh8ierpw1yfok&e=1&st=ebs24tqb&dl=0) and the papers AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole & Multiwavelength Modeling of the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2024wpp (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.03337 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.03372 with https://docs.google.com/document/d/1foKS2AQJlWvI4_ZzUlV8pYfkyAsElzkRQ5yo82VWy4s/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0 and https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/news/articles/2026/1/6/cow and https://public.nrao.edu/news/radio-telescopes-uncover-invisible-gas-around-record-shattering-cosmic-explosion/).

Tried a technique I don't often use with an #acting #coaching client and got to witness them be and speak as I never had seen them do before. It was brilliant to see them embrace a different approach, gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Proud coach, happy audience member.

Hmm, I think this will be the temporary traffic light set outside that's causing havoc with our TV; I guess it's swamping the mast-head amp; that's coming in ~10dB stronger than the BBC DVB-T mux.
Anyone got suggestions - I was thinking of making a stub to see if I could at least get rid of that by the time it got to the TV; I guess the ideal would be a >500MHz high pass.
(Also, anyone know of something more featureful/robust than gqrx?)
