I'm currently doing a lightning reread of @jimbutcher.bsky.social's Dresden Files. More of a skim-thru for the first 8 books or so. Prepping for what I imagine is going to be a painful read of 12 Months. Currently a few books away from Changes, and bracing for the reread of Battle Ground 💔

A really good overview of the Green Bank Observatory, and how this massive antenna operates. We visited the site back in 2001, but we were civilians at the time and didn't get to go up close. Now that we're 'in', hopefully one day we'll be able to tour the dish itself. youtu.be/UeGVCKECZGI?...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks. US politicians say they stand by Israel.
