Do you ever think you can actually smell someone through the television? And I don’t mean a pleasant smell either. I can smell Noel Fielding’s breath on Bake Off. All stale and fags. The bakers are like, fuck off and speak to someone else mate. My wife is the same with the actor James Nesbitt.

@ianbeestin.bsky.social, Hi Ian. A question for you re your Yamaha Hip kit... When you pack it away do you have to take the bottom half of the bass drum legs off to fit it in the proper Protection Racket case? I've had to pack mine away but had to take the bottom half of the legs off. Seems odd 🤷🏻‍♂️

Born on this day: Sophia Loren, the iconic Italian actress whose magnetic presence, Oscar‑winning talent, and timeless elegance made her a global symbol of cinematic glamour. Rising from postwar hardship, she built a legendary career defined by strength, beauty, and unforgettable screen charisma.
Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls, wearing a dark brocade blouse with a cameo brooch and oversized glasses, her silver curls neatly styled against a vivid pink backdrop, smiling with a mischievous, knowing expression that captures her character’s sharp wit. IYKYK. This is one of those ones where I expect people to go ‘I don’t get it’ or ‘this is tenuous at best’. Anyway, you guys know what’s up.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...
The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

Why this matters: ​1.5 MW capacity per turbine (the 4-turbine array powers 7,000 homes each year). ​Proven durability in hyper aggressive ocean environments, tracked by SKF. ​100% predictable energy to balance grid spikes, unlike solar or wind ​

Deep in Scotland's Pentland Firth, a grid scale tidal turbine at the MeyGen site just set a massive milestone: over 6.5 years of continuous operation without a single unplanned maintenance stop. ​Operating 40 meters underwater in one of the fastest tidal currents on Earth.
