I presented at the local planetary journal club this morning about the 3 articles I co-authored for The Conversation in the past weeks about the effects that one million satellites would have on the night sky, the atmosphere, and the orbital environment (spoiler alert: all very very bad)

https://theconversation.com/too-many-satellites-earths-orbit-is-on-track-for-a-catastrophe-but-we-can-stop-it-275430

And one on light pollution that I thought would get published today but might not be out until after the weekend.

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a ‘crematorium for satellites’

Planned ‘megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.

The Conversation

When the Japanese live translation goes silent because the translators are too stunned to repeat your Pearl Harbor “joke” to the Japanese PM, you’ve officially reached a new level of diplomatic failure.

Those seconds of silence were the most honest reaction of the day.

Throwing it out here again. if you or someone you know do a podcast and are looking for a guest, I'd love to talk to you. I've been creating audio-based entertainment for the blind community for over 20 years. My ground-breaking audio game Super Liam which originally released in 2004 is getting a modernized port that will run on both Windows and Mac. I'd love to talk about gaming, accessibility, or any other random topic you'd like to toss my way. Please boost far and wide. I love chatting about my passion which is gaming.

Belly Of The Beast! Inside a Nord Noratlas military aircraft, left abandoned by the runway somewhere in France. They operated in the 1950s -1980s transporting troops, paratroopers, cargo or medics and patients.

Would you spend the night in here? Apparently you now can! Someone bought it, hauled it away and turned it into an AirBnB!

This is how my cat, Molly, sleeps in the sun

During winter, she barely goes out, as she's deeply unimpressed with the cold

But the moment it gets a little bit warm - like it did in London today - she's out, lying on her back in the mud, getting the sun on her belly
