#OTD in 2019, astronaut Christina Koch broke the record for the longest continuous time in #space by a woman (breaking Peggy Whitson's record of 289 days, 5h & 1m).
Eventually returning on Feb 6, 2020 & setting the new record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman at 328 days. #WomenInSTEM

While royalties might seem like great passive income, apparently you can make $400/year w/10k in high yield savings account (I know, who can afford for that much money to just...sit). But considering that's more than I make in royalties on my first 3 books now, the comparison is depressing.

2025 comes to an end.
It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics.
Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate.
Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

A lot of this discourse seems to settle on “voters don’t need motivation to vote, they just need to show up every time.” Which seems insane and ahistorical.

Democracy doesn’t fail because people vote.
It fails when voters are misled, choices are distorted, and accountability disappears afterwards — then we’re told this is what democracy looks like.

Newer modelling increasingly narrowing period of stronger stratospheric westerlies & deceleration in zonal wind in mid January. This would increase the likelihood of January 2026 being persistently cold evidently early month will be. If things fall right it could be a very cold winter month.
