Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail).

Behold "The Fall of Icarus."
A glowing detailed picture of the sun, with a little black silhouette of a falling man in front of it.

Who's going to buy US weapons in future when it's clear Donald & GOP will cut you off if your invader bribes them as part of a "peace plan".

One thing I absolutely love in central bank rhetorics: declare a boundary, then elegantly step right over it.

“For order among Nations presupposes something enduring—some system of justice under which individuals, over a long period of time, are willing to live. Humanity will never permanently accept a system imposed by conquest and based on slavery.” www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ad...

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

12/Why does Trump keep denigrating the EU? Because it is a remnant of the old order and must be delegitimized to make way for the new order.

In this map @researchremora shows us the urban footprint around the world. I pondered this map for quite a bit. Few of us venture outside of the pink areas for any long stretch of time.
