I've been cutting back part of a large, overgrown, bramble filled hedge in the front garden this evening now that the tweeters have vacated it.

I've come to the conclusion that brambles are the Captain Scarlet of the plant world: you can smash them, and their bodies may burn. You can crash them, but you know they'll return, to live again.

A COMET SHAPED LIKE THE MILLENNIUM FALCON: Astronomers are monitoring a very unusual #comet. A few days ago, #Comet12PPons-Brooks brightened, spewing plumes of debris. It could be the eruption of an ice volcano on the comet's surface. https://spaceweather.com for more, and if this comet actually made the #KesselRun in less than twelve parsecs. #StarWars

Transporting letters was in early modern Europe a business, and the development of postal services is deeply connected to the emergence of an early modern news system. In this image, a messenger in 1632 is bringing and taking handwritten newsletters: the textual components of every news publication of the period. These are handwritten observations, packed in units, sealed in letters. News in printed form were very often handwritten news. Until enough printed news very available to copy from.

Demystifying science can help create more enthusiasm for the field and inspire more people from diverse backgrounds to become scientists, astrophysicist Regina G. Barber says. https://t.co/k4X7VKpC3c

I can't resist one more coda on the UPS / Teamsters deal:

UPS is one of those organizations that stands in stark defiance of the notion that unions are always some kind of vampiric drain on companies and industries.

YES, absolutely, unions can slow down needed changes in some industries.

But the kind of "business unionism" we have in the U.S. is generally pretty good at not killing the goose (business) that lays the golden eggs.

Unions are as important as ever.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space venture is getting a $34.7 million boost from NASA for a technology that could produce solar cells and transmission wire from materials on the moon - and it's also part of a team led by Zeno Power Systems that's developing a new type of radioisotope power supply for space hardware. https://www.geekwire.com/2023/nasa-blue-origin-alchemist-solar-moon/

There's a Change dot org petition that says to legalize nuclear bombs and remove #SecondAmendment restrictions. No. #Oppenheimer is rolling in his grave.
