It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Anti-genocide protesters and demonstrators sit in front of St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, resilient and strong as heavy rain soaks them. The group 12 diverse folks each hold placards with key messages of the campaign against genocide in Palestine and Gaza. They are the first of thousands joining the demonstration in Scotland and across the UK today.

Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series, sits on a chair in a big church auditorium looking at an audience of fans. Everyone is smiling and he has his new book 'Stone & Sky' sitting by his side, ready for reference in questions and answers.

A bright blue book, titled "Stone & Sky" with gold embossed images overlaid on an outlined map of the north east coast of Scotland. The Kraken, an oil rig, viking ships sinking, and whales jumping are all giving little sparks of action underneath the book title. The book sits on a light wood pew book stand in the church auditorium where Ben Aaronovitch is doing his talk about this book he has authored.

Saw Ne-Yo at LAX, totally dressed down but still chic in sunglasses, as we were both waiting to go through passport control. We made eye contact, I smiled and said nothing. He smiled back and gave a nod as if to say "thank you for not making a fuss". We carried on through the process quietly.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

#Edinbrick2025, this year's #Lego builders event in Edinburgh, served up a 26ft (8m) long replica of the Forth Rail Bridge. 100k Lego bricks 🌉 Complete with Highland cows and wee folks painting the bridge, as they do in perpetuity IRL. Epic creations all round! What fun 😁 🧱🚂🚃🚃

A large red lego brick bridge, which is a replica of the legendary Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland, stretches across the frame. People are wandering around it looking at the many little details of the lego display, including two fully functioning trains, boats and blue brick ground emulating the water of the Firth of Forth, and Highland cows chomping on grass.

A view of a red lego brick bridge, looking from one end straight across the tracks, through to the other end. There are two rail tracks on the bridge, and it is set up on the wooden floor of a large gymnasium.

A busy lego scene complete with cottage, pond, stoney ground, pigs in a pen, little forests, and two unicorns having a chat with swords!

A lego lake scene, with a lego person catching a lego octopus from a lego boat in the middle of the lego lake. At the edges of the lego lake are lego houses, castles, and cottages, as well as a lego viking ship looming large as if in approach to the octopus catching activities.
