Computer simulation of a rapidly rotating neutron star, specifically a pulsar with its accretion disk and rotating x-ray beam(s). The star is light blue, the accretion disk deep and deeper orange, and the x-rays a hazy white.

There have been numerous fires in Central Idaho over the past 30 years that 'all the kings horses and all the kings men' couldn't stop...
Clear Creek (2000) was my first. Had almost 10k people assigned, #1 priority in the nation, and it was still putting up 8 mile runs.

An important idea I've heard from @amonthei.bsky.social is "unsuppressability." Many are possessed of the VERY mistaken notion that all wildfires CAN BE suppressed. But 4 a select few, there is no technology on Earth that can stop them. Humility is part of the path out of the wildfire crisis.

Go fly a kite, but not near this grabby tree in Ann Morrison Park in Boise. Beautiful unseasonably warm (55 degrees) day in Idaho's capital city.

I uncomfortably feel the heat of the Sun on my right lower torso through my black French soccer team t-shirt. It’s 13 °C on the last full week of autumn in Boise, Idaho.

Pride goeth before a fall. The monitor of Secondary Computer, specifically. From the stand of which my new phone slid off and hit the wood bookcase shelf where I had kept a pillow until recently. (Cats ignored it.) By centimeters I rearranged. No apparent damage. Yet.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
