Supernovae are violent explosions, spewing hot, radioactive material in the death throes of massive stars. You might think life wouldn’t stand a chance against one. But it turns out life on Earth has withstood *multiple* nearby supernovae. 🧵⚛️🧪

Went for a walk down the lanes. Surprisingly, a raven was hanging around the fields, a bunch of noisy jackdaws roosting in a sycamore and a couple of squirrels eating conkers in the churchyard. The haunted house looks no less haunted.
A low shot of a garden path a white rendered house and a sun bleached door. Nobody's lived there for years.

Today I am not doing any jobs, or organising things. I'm going to have a leisurely breakfast (I've only just fallen out of bed) and I might go for a walk later.

Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 15h
4th of Owltober! Coda the Eastern Screech Owl, an ambassador at BeWild Reptile Rescue in North Carolina, is pictured shortly before getting his beak trimmed with the help of summer interns. Want to donate to BeWild? bewildnc.org/support-us/ Source: fb.com/752793290801... #owlsintowels #owltober 💛🦉
Coda the Owl is wrapped in a plain white hand towel. Owing (mostly) to the wrap, he is oval shaped and nearly a borb (where borb = bird orb). He's much like the Owls in Towels logo but with desaturated plumage and cat-like ear tufts. His feather are the "gray-morph" variant of Eastern Screech Owls, peppered and bridled with black texturing that looks like granite rocks or tree bark. He has short ashy-white rictal bristles and longer black "whisker" feathers about his long and thin pale beak that hooks over the towel edge. A handler has him in their palms the way one might hold a new-born. He has anime-eyes: a pair of slate-grey peepers looking up at the humans with an expression of innocence and trust.

Real bit from David Byrne (!)'s new book. "The painting is by Johannes Vermeer, who had some success in his lifetime, but died in 1675 penniless. A little while after that his work fell into obscurity for almost two centuries. This guy! Now he's one of the most celebrated painters who ever lived."

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Fact: On this day in 1967, Boeing rolled out the first ever 747. It was named the City of Everett after the tennis player Chris Everett who designed the aircraft in between matches. Her husband, Jimmy Connor, designed the avionics, a skill still practised today by Andre Agassi

The arseholes at work have realised that the BIG CHANGE was based on horseshit and it's not happening now. I could have told them that three weeks ago, but no did listens to me and management can't take negative comments anyway. Everything has to be doubleplusgood.
