Everybody’s got an ego and power and girlfriends and all the rest, so it ends up a mess sometimes, and that’s what the song was written about.

Astronaut, pilot & engineer Samantha Cristoforetti: the first Italian woman in space, 2014. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 She holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut & brewed the first espresso in space. #WomenInSTEM #Italy 📷 : Coolest #coffee break in history!

Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti inside the International Space Station (ISS), sipping fresh espresso from a special 3D-printed "Zero-G cup" designed to use the fluid's surface tension to let the astronauts sip from it rather than using a straw from a pouch. She has short dark hair, wears a red-and-black jacket over a purple shirt (a Star Trek uniform specifically for the occasion), and smiles softly while Earth’s blue horizon and swirling white clouds fill the huge circular window above her.

An absolutely fantastic #Roman barge, "De Meern 1", lenght 25m. It was wrecked in a winding tributary of the Rhine around the year 190 AD, possibly due to navigational error. Much of the barge's interior and the captain's personal belongings were preserved in...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #Archaeology

A photo of a well-preserved wooden barge displayed inside a building. The barge is long and narrow, with wooden benches running along its length. It appears weathered. There are some people watching the barge, giving a sense of scale to the barge.

The joys of writing are abundant. Seeking tidbits of information to answer a question and learning along the way, is one of them. Today I learned dinosaurs evolved roughly one galactic year ago. Which has no bearing on what I am writing. #writing

Something beautiful for the weekend! An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago! From West Tofts, Norfolk 📷 MAA Cambridge University collections.maa.cam.ac.uk/objects/4509... #Archaeology

The photo shows a Lower Paleolithic Acheulean biface handaxe knapped from dark grey flint with a creamy-white cortical layer, shown against a black background. The handaxe is roughly tear-drop shaped with a pointed tip and rounded bottom. There is a fossil shell centrally displayed on one face, identified as the Cretaceous bivalve mollusc Spondylus spinosus. Above the shell to the right is a small rectangular museum label. Likely made by an early neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis) population or an alternative Middle Pleistocene hominin species (H. heidelbergensis s.l.). The toolmaker has knapped the flint in such a way as to seemingly retain the shell in a central position. The shell’s central display has often been described as an example of aesthetic intention by the toolmaker. A recent study (“The West Tofts handaxe: A remarkably average, structurally flawed, utilitarian biface” by Emily Flanders and Alastair Key) concluded it was likely ‘an average utilitarian tool’ in the eyes of its Acheulean maker, and that the aesthetic intent is assumed by the present-day beholder, and not supported by objective evidence.

Measurements 79mm x 35mm x 132mm. Weight 0.375kg.

Due to inflation and risings costs of living, compensations and valuations for thoughts and opinions, have been adjusted from a penny to a "twenty for my thoughts".

if i seem laid back and relaxed to you, it’s an elaborate ruse - i actually carry the kind of tension that makes massage therapists and other health professionals say “wow” and “oh no”

Daily reminder not to use AI and spread the word to family and friends about how it exists only to steal jobs and ideas. Plus it destroys the climate and wastes tremendous amounts of water. #BoycottAI
