A lunar gravity assist
Infographic titled “Artemis II: First Crewed Test Flight to the Moon Since Apollo” showing a stylized trajectory of NASA’s Orion spacecraft around Earth and the Moon. The path is color-coded with numbered steps illustrating mission phases: launch from Kennedy Space Center, Earth orbit maneuvers, separation from the upper stage, and a trans-lunar injection burn sending the spacecraft toward the Moon. The diagram emphasizes a looping path that swings around the Moon (labeled “lunar flyby”) rather than entering orbit, before returning to Earth.

Additional annotations detail key events along the route, including proximity operations in Earth orbit, outbound transit (~4 days), a distant lunar flyby (~10,427 km altitude), and a trans-Earth return followed by reentry and splashdown. A side panel shows a sequence of spacecraft orientation and maneuver icons, while NASA and Artemis logos appear in the top right.

For once, Bergen decided not to be cloudy during an aurora
A night-time cityscape overlooking a coastal town illuminated by the warm glow of streetlights and building lights, reflecting softly on the calm water. Above the town, the night sky is scattered with stars and streaked with a gentle display of the green Northern Lights, forming a subtle arc across the horizon.

Er ikke plass til sånt på forsiden de må fokusere på det viktige
A collage-style screenshot of a Norwegian news and media webpage with three main sections:  

Top Left: A photograph of a blonde woman in a sparkling gold top singing into a glittery microphone on stage. Below the image is the headline text:  
   "Studie: Slik har Swift endret hvordan hun snakker"  
   (Translation: Study: How Swift has changed the way she speaks).  

Top Right: A bright, studio-style photo of three smiling young women in retro-style outfits, holding baking utensils and a mixing bowl. Above them is the label: "YTRING Kronikk". Below the image is the headline text:  
   «Mak­ter ‘tradwifene’ å leve opp til forbildene?»  
   Byline: Håvard Syvertsen, Forfatter (Author).  

Bottom Banner: A promotional banner in hot pink and navy blue with the text:  
   "GJØR DAGEN MORSOMMERE"  
   NRK Radio  
   On the right side, there is a photo of two men in suits leaning closely together, looking directly at the camera, with a white arrow icon in a pink circle next to them.  

The overall design is colourful and modern, combining photography with bold text elements.

Da har jeg innsendt klage til Kringkastingsrådet om NRK sin deling av høyreekstrem propaganda, og jeg anbefaler at du gjør det også. info.nrk.no/kontakt/krin...
Jeg klager over NRKs beslutning om å strømme Turning Point USA (TPUSA) sitt arrangement på NRK TV/NRK.no. Sendingen fremsto som en samsending av et politisk massearrangement for amerikansk ytre høyre – etter mitt syn ukritisk deling av høyreekstrem propaganda – uten tilstrekkelig, løpende redaksjonell kontekst og motstemmer.

Særlig alvorlig er at NRKs egen medarbeider Tove Bjørgås i sendingen beskrev Kirk slik: «Charlie Kirk var en dypt kristen mann, som kjempet mot marginaliseringen av kristne, mot venstreorienteringen på amerikanske universiteter, for retten til å bære våpen.» Denne omtalen er fullstendig uakseptabel. Den er ikke bare ukritisk, men også normaliserende og legitimerende overfor en aktør som har stått sentralt i spredningen av ekstremhøyre-retorikk i USA. Når en NRK-journalist på denne måten videreformidler og rammer inn et ytre-høyre arrangement uten kritisk distanse, undergraver det NRKs troverdighet og nøytralitet. Slike uttalelser kan ikke bagatelliseres, men må få konsekvenser.

Etter min vurdering bryter NRK her klart med forpliktelsene i NRK-plakaten:
– Del II §13 Kravet om redaksjonell uavhengighet og balanse over tid undergraves av at NRK fungerer som kanal for en ekstern, regissert politisk markering.
– Del III §28 NRK har et ansvar for å avdekke kritikkverdige forhold og beskytte enkeltmennesker og grupper. Å gi ytre høyres propagandister taletid og legitimitet uten motstemmer er det motsatte.
– Del III §29 Saklighet, analytisk tilnærming og nøytralitet ble tilsidesatt gjennom ukritisk strømming og gjennom Bjørgås’ ensidige og legitimerende omtale.
– Del III §41 Å videreformidle TPUSAs egen produksjon uten bearbeiding eller kontekst gir ingen samfunnsverdi utover det kommersielle; tvert imot gjør NRK seg til megafon for propaganda.

NRKs rolle er å tilby uavhengig, kritisk journalistikk. I dette tilfellet har NRK i stedet opptrådt som ukritisk formidler av høyreekstrem propaganda. Det er et alvorlig tillitsbrudd.

Cities Skylines 2 had to remove landlords to fix housing prices
Let’s start with Rent. Most likely you have run into complaints of “High Rent” in the game, so let’s talk about it. To complement the Land Value changes in patch 1.1.0f1 in March, we have tweaked how Rent works. First of all, we removed the virtual landlord so a building’s upkeep is now paid equally by all renters.

Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050
A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.
The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.
Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. "It's not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades," he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.
Taylor will also be able to bring forward drinking credits earned from the days he hasn't drunk over the past forty years, meaning the actual end date for consumption may actually be 2060

Ikke planlagt spesielle tiltak

Vestland fylkeskommune har ikke indikasjoner på at det er mange som krysser veien i nærheten av ulykkesstedet.

– Vi har derfor ikke planlagt spesielle tiltak for kryssende i dagens situasjon. Det er planfri kryssing på nordsiden, og i sør er det signalregulert gangfelt i Gjensidigekrysset. Men begge disse ligger et stykke unna og vi kan ikke utelukke at enkelte vil krysse her, sier Trond Hollekim, senioringeniør i avdeling infrastruktur og vei i Vestland fylkeskommune.

I need to stop reading the New York Times #urbanism
Meme shows a guy walking up to the New York Times asking "hey little man hows it going"?
The New York Times spews out article quotes saying:
"Bikes are another example. Based on fleeting declines in car traffic during the Covid lockdowns, many zealous city councils made a big bet on bike lanes. To put it less delicately, they cynically transferred the benefit of lots of public property from car commuters and small retail businesses to bike-riding elites and corporate e-businesses."
and “Why don’t we ask the ‘no cars!’ people how they get their groceries and general supplies?”

The man stares blanky, and then says "...yeah"
