This is a great review of a very interesting book. For me, the best aspect was getting a bit more depth of just how alien the t'au psyche is, instead of "human, but technofuturistic" that they can be in many sources. #40k

No AI, this is a real photo taken by Percy’s engineering cameras of astronomical twilight on #Mars! You can see Deimos in the sky too.
I worked pretty hard to plan, execute, and analyze this image, and it came out beautifully! A bit noisy, but it was very dark out after all.

Here's Imotekh in all his rainbow glory.
I'm tentatively planning a new project, which I will do despite my stomach. And to cheer me up, yep, it's going to be rainbows. 😁

"Only Nigel Farage’s Reform look truly happy, despite being one of the smallest parties, with just five MPs — six if you include the prime minister." @roberthutton.co.uk 🔥
The odd couple | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine
Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch both entered the House of Commons to greetings that can only be called “lacklustre”. The chamber felt dead. It was far from empty, but also not really packed.

Sometimes, the most amazing photos from space are of objects close to home.
Or even *of* our home.
This is a lunar eclipse as seen from the Moon. That black disk? That's Earth. And the ring around it? Why, that's the magic.

New writing! For @sciam.bsky.social, I talk about misleading memes.
If you understand evolution enough to know this already, great! But memes/youtubes/etc reach folks with no biology background. Science has been twisted to justify bad things, such as eugenics, before. NOT IN CRABS' NAME.
