The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The Sun and the Moon - From Jason Major (jpmajor.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/8KDvg5
From an SDO image chosen as the Pick of the Week for October 15th, this shot is almost too cool to be real...but it is! As the New Moon passed between the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Sun, the spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit got a view of the Moon's silhouetted disc passing across its normally unobstructed solar view. At the same time an energetic flare was erupting along the Sun's limb. Amazing!

The image shown here has been rotated 180º to put the southern hemisphere of the Moon facing upwards. The large-size version will show the rugged terrain of the Moon's south pole. It has also been color-edited, sharpened via high pass and level-adjusted to bring out details in the Sun's surface.

See the original Pick of the Week post and video of the event on SDO's main site here: sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/potw.php?v=item&id=27

It’s very “On Brand” that Miljöpartet, the Swedish environmental party, has printed their political posters on easily biodegradable materials.
A political poster that is soaked and distressed after the rain, looking like papier-mache, laying on the paving stone street. Showing one of the Miljöpartiet’s leaders above the campaign phrase “Sverige vinner på grön politik.” (Sweden wins with green politics. Maybe Sweden wins on green politics, I don’t know prepositions are tough)

Convenience Store Woman Sayaka Murata, G. Takemori (Translator) This was a weird little novella (complimentary) about some flavor of asexual autistic person in Japan & how they navigated, or didn’t navigate, cultural expectations. I think I lacked the local cultural context to fully appreciate it.

Categories are fake, there will always be weird edge cases where the boundaries fail, this is just a fact. The question is not "is this category REAL or TRUE" the question is "is this category USEFUL" because categories are tools, not features of the universe.

I spent the afternoon at Ribersborg Kallbadhus. A little bit of swimming in the sea and sitting in the sauna but for the most part it was all about laying out in the sun, and reading.

I love my local Swedish news paper. How can you not with stories like this? “For three years, a woman in Lund has been subjecting her mailman to unwanted contact. She usually appears from behind when he delivers mail and tickles him – and pulls his beard. Now the mailman has turned to the police.“

In a corn maze, the kids sprinted ahead at first. 30 min later they sprinted past us from behind. “How did you get ahead of us?!” they screamed. Watching other families return from deadends & knowing which paths to avoid, or a corn induced rift making the boundaries of space/time plastic & loose?
