Three panel comic. Panel 1: a little dog is sleeping on a couch, kicking its paws. A person says, “look! The little kicks!” Panel 2: in awe of the cuteness, the person continues, “what do you think he’s dreaming about?” Panel 3: in the dog’s dream, the pup is wearing a captain’s jacket, holding tightly to a wooden ship on stormy seas. In his other paw, he is gripping a harpoon as an enormous vacuum cleaner breaches violently from the water.

Bowie Day 352 “We Shall Go to Town” (1999) B-Side to some formats of “Thursday’s Child” Single What a cool, moody little piece here, kinda slow and sad but with a sort of romantic defiance to it. I gather there was some debate on whether to have it on the album or not. youtu.be/Tb84jkfCCps?...

Bowie Day 351 “1917” (1999) B-Side to some formats of the “Thursday’s Child” Single This is an instrumental that doesn’t really work for me. It’s got a nice backing, but the buzzy pseudo-vocals feel out of place and distracting to me. *shrug* youtu.be/zLoqhj54OCg?...

There’s also another mix of “Something in the Air” that went on the “American Psycho” end credits. (Funny ironic pairing!) This version adds a lot of strings and piano, giving a bigger operatic feel. It’s fun, but I kinda prefer the comparatively streamlined version. 2/2 youtu.be/RW4dli7tG2c?...

This is one of the largest images #JWST has ever put out. IC 348 is a stellar nursery about 1,000 light-years away in Perseus. Shot in 2024; public view of a 2025 paper. The image release is from 2026: esawebb.org/news/weic2619/ 🔭🧪⚛️ #stellarastro #stars

Image Description from ESA: A star-forming region. It is blanketed in thick clouds of gas and dust, millions of kilometres across, that form swirling patterns. Bright stars are scattered throughout the clouds, with the densest cluster situated in the centre of the scene. Each is crowned with six long points created by the optics of the telescope’s mirrors. In the upper right, a couple of hidden stars blast out long, glowing jets of material.
