Here are some great #Modulex MOCs seen in Örebro. Modulex is the little brother of regular #LEGO bricks. First group by unknown, the rest by Mikael Montelius.

This summer I have to go from Barcelona to Berlin. The non-flight options are ... insane. I wouldn't mind a 24-hour trip by train, but it's not even that*. Many legs, no coordination between providers, subways and buses included. I am not a XIX century naturalist crossing uncharted territory, I am crossing the European Union from South to somewhat North. It's embarrassing.

* I was hoping for a 2-leg train, i.e., Barcelona-Paris and Paris-Berlin in the same day, but no, that would require me sleeping in Paris! The lack of coordination is as astonishing as it is appalling.

A selection of wonderful work by Peter Ilmrud seen at the Örebro show. #LEGO #AFOL #swebrick
Next up are some excellent Classic Space MOCs 💙💛🩶 #LEGO #AFOL #swebrick
Some cool retro computing, a little pipe organ and the Pink Panther. #LEGO #AFOL #swebrick
Now that I'm back home from my Swedish trip and have a bit of time/lots of wifi, I will be posting pictures of some of the fantastic models which were on show at the Swebrick event in Örebro last weekend. 🇸🇪
Taken last week in Örebro, Sweden 🇸🇪, but perfect for #FensterFreitag

Clanger stolen 50 years ago recovered after deathbed confession

"A puppet that was one of the most famous characters on children’s TV has been returned to the UK after it was stolen from an exhibition in London more than 50 years ago.

Mother Clanger, from the children’s TV show The Clangers, was taken from an exhibition in 1973 by two 15-year-old boys, with one of the teenagers, Michael O’Connor, hiding the puppet in his attic ... "

On this occasion of the launch of Artemis II, I need to reshare this.

This is a photo of 8 of the surviving Apollo astronauts, taken on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

The man wearing ... well ... a heat shield, is Buzz Aldrin. I have to imagine his arrival went like this:

PHOTOGRAPHER: Um, Mr. Aldrin, this is a formal portrait.
BUZZ: Do you think I don't know that, son?
PHOTOG: Well, your outfit sir, it's-
BUZZ: Son. I've been to the moon. The mother-lovin' moon. In a tin can running on a graphing calculator powered by a can of sterno.
PHOTOG: Yes sir.
BUZZ: I get to wear what I want, where I want, when I want, for the rest of my life. Do you understand me, son?
PHOTOG: Right this way sir.

And what really gets me is Charlie Duke. He's the guy in the tux with the gold trim. He thought he was going to stand out in this photo. Then in walks Mr. Moon Man.
