Who said cycling’s easy in Holland because there are no hills? You’re welcome to ride in today’s 60-70kmh winds any time you like 😜 A 50km lunchtime spin as I’m off to Germany later, then home, Ireland, home, & Switzerland. (Mastodon still not loading pix) #cyclinglife 💨🚴‍♂️

A bespoke scratching post for Christmas for your space cat: it comes with #Tigger’s approval 😽 And when they’re not using it, there are some nice words inside to entertain humans, including a chapter about #JWST by Izzie Clarke ⚡ with some thoughts from me 🚀🔭

I spoke to Daniel Clery for his piece on #JWST & “proprietary periods”. My view? As long as all data go public after a year, PP’s can help increase diversity, balance inequities, & foster better science. Full argument? 👇 @[email protected] science.org/content/articl…

“My god, it’s full of galaxies.” Huge pleasure to speak again at Mayo Dark Skies on the West Coast of Ireland, with a lot of love for #JWST evident 🙇‍♂️ Off for the big dinner in Mulranny, where I expect at least four courses of potatoes based on last time 🙂🇮🇪

I’m rarely here these days, while the Child King continues to wreak havoc 🙄 But here’s a memory: #OTD in 2014, Philae left Rosetta & descended to the surface of Comet 67P/C-G ☄️ Our film “Ambition” took a creative look at the mission 🖖 #RosettaLegacy youtu.be/H08tGjXNHO4

Calling @bbcamos! 😉 #supersub bbc.com/news/science-e…

Twïtterdämmerung: a mighty battle leading to the death of many gods, great & small. After, the social media world will rise again, cleansed & fertile, survivors meeting elsewhere to repopulate the internets. I’ll be at @[email protected] theguardian.com/technology/202…

Just requested a copy of my Twitter data archive. Clicked on the "Learn more" link & got this. It's all going swimmingly.

While we wait for Mr Amos to join us over on Mastodon, I guess I’ll have to boost his useful guide to European Space Agency’s budget-setting Ministerial Conference here 🤷‍♂️ Amidst discussion of new comsats, rockets, & astronauts, sobering thoughts on the likely outcome for space science.

I’m not here much at the moment, but this is perhaps more easily shared than on Mastodon: The opening of “Dear Dead Days” from Frost*’s brilliant Edinburgh gig on Monday 🙇‍♂️ My daughter was ecstatic when this was played – her favourite Frost* song 🙂🤘

Now 5 months into the operational mission for NASA Webb Telescope / ESA Webb Telescope here are some inside insights from Jane Rigby Mark McCaughrean Dr Heidi B. Hammel and lee feinberg on how everything is going so far for this remarkable mission: supercluster.com/editorial/webb… By me for Supercluster

Why are you still here? 🤷‍♂️

Because Marina Koren doesn't appear to have done the right thing & moved to the Proboscidea Place yet ... Marina – I blame you for this sacrilege 😱 youtu.be/8zIf0XvoL9Y
