A bit of behind the scenes, an earlier version of the graphic for this month had the sun visible! It's still there with an associated light source, it just got shoved out of the camera view but through the magic of changing the camera, you can catch a glimpse.

Sometimes the books we choose end up being too topical. Our thoughts are with the ordinary Cuban citizens, facing extraordinary strain right now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Text reads: The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, is the son of Cubans who emigrated from the island to Miami before the Cuban revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959 and a fierce opponent of the regime he founded.

Cuba had already rationed gasoline and imposed limited daily electricity blackouts as it struggled with limited oil supplies. The island only has 15 to 20 days’ worth of oil in inventory, according to a report from the Financial Times.

The year roadmap, its design, started at the idea of the first 4 years of the bookclub remade as 3d models. At the time it was too complex a process and the idea of overall minimalism resulted in some OK and dreadful designs from the originals. It did, however, form the kernel of a good idea...
