Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

what a strange day - still can’t believe so many of you sent such kind messages (don’t worry, I am well aware there is plenty of hate in other places) - here is one of my favourite photos from Brighton last weekend - goodnight

"A sudden change, I in a moment fell
I had not time to bid my friends farewell
Think not this strange, death happens unto all
Today was mine, tomorrow you may fall"

The grave of Herbert Heathcote, stonemason. Some tools of his trade can be seen on the footstone.

Thanks to @winterroom.bsky.social
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ATLAS WORKS. An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. D. Wightman, at the Mortuary, on the body of Herbert Heathcote, aged 30 years, a mason, who lived in Furnace hill, and who was employed by Messrs. John Brown and Co. On Monday he was standing on a girder in one of the shops, engaged cutting through some brickwork, when it gave way, and he was precipitated from the girder to the ground. His head struck the iron flooring of the shop, and when picked up he was found to be dead, his skull having been fractured. A verdict of "accidental death" was returned. The square and compass on the foostone are a prominent symbol of Freemasonry, often found on headstones as a way to indicate the deceased's membership in the fraternity.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?
