A digital illustration done in a black and white woodcut style similar to Totentanz images by Holbein and others. A skeleton wearing a jester-type cowl with two floppy horns with bells on the ends, and another garment around his shoulders and boots all decorated with bells. He his high stepping and playing some kind of flute. Black lines radiate out from behind him and a banner wraps around at his hips with the words ‘maybe it will happen today’ on it.

Hubble Servicing Missi#256C - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/2cjpXhS
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, we are sharing this gallery of images from all five of the Hubble servicing missions.

Astronauts serviced Hubble for the first time in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble between 1993 and 2009.

How did astronauts repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope more than 300 miles above the surface of the Earth? Watch Hubble astronauts as they discuss servicing from the innovative Robotics Operations Center: bit.ly/2EiiNTP

S103-E-5308 (23 December 1999) --- Astronauts C. Michael Foale (left) and Claude Nicollier hover above Discovery's aft cargo bay during their shared space walk to perform servicing tasks on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The photo was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC).

Cool Bike Art @coolbikeart1.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
One of the first, if not the first, credibly documented inventions of a folding bike is by an American inventor, Emmit G. Latta. He filed a patent in the U.S. on September 16, 1887 and it was issued on February 21, 1888.
Patent illustrations for a folding bicycle. At the top is a side view, below that is a view from the bottom, and then there are three details of various attachments. The bicycle has a unique design, in that the handlebars are directly in front of the rider's lap.

Digital illustration in black on a toned paper background. A group of angry little guys are marching together in a tight formation. They are all dressed in black and their heads are just blank potato-like shapes the only feature of which are big mouths with gritting gnashing teeth. Hands and fists are thrust in the air over the crowd as well as three signs on sticks that have ❗️,⚡️, and ⬇️ symbols on them.  The angry little guys at the front of the group are holding a horizontal banner which reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

English version of last week's cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw. #reading #books #smartphone
Cartoon depicting a sailboat named 'Reading' moored at a jetty overlooking the sea, where a galleon, a mysterious island, and a large sea monster are visible on the horizon. The sea simultaneously forms the front cover of a gigantic book. A staircase runs along the cover of the book to the jetty. Next to this staircase stands a sign reading 'Join the adventure'. This sign is completely ignored by the people walking by, who are all hunched over, staring at their smartphone screens.

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
from Openings: Poems (1968)

A digital illustration done in a black and white graphite style with white highlight on a gray grainy paper background of a hand from the front in a fingers-crossed gesture. From the heel of the palm and down the wrist is lettering reading, ‘maybe it will happen today’. The hand is cropped beetle the lettering and surrounded with decorative rays and circles.

This is literally never true, and I wish writers would stop writing it. See also, 'it's just a flesh wound.' Even if you assume the bullet only causes damage along its path (also not true), and even if you're not shot through clothing, the skin is taken into the wound. Skin isn't aseptic.
"Bullet went clean through. You'll be okay."
