Believe it or not, I’ve been looking for Digimon for ages. You can’t get early episodes streamed, and the DVDs are crazy expensive. So I’m happy to see a VHS in the wild for so cheap.

My kid really likes this. She loves that Digimon can speak.

@atomicpoet the news here is that you still have a VHS player 🤓

Was reminded today that this past weekend saw the 50th anniversary of the FA Cup final between Liverpool & Newcastle, which the former won 3-0 ⚽️

Which in turn reminded me that I have an original programme from the day – I didn't go, but someone I knew did & they gave me this immediately after 🤷‍♂️

For some reason, I think it might've been my dad, but then why didn't I get to go ... 🧐

The centre page spread of the 1974 FA Cup final programme, listing the teams, as well as advertising two upcoming England international games at the bottom.
A picture of the Liverpool FC 1973-74 team, from the 1974 FA Cup final programme. The 16-man squad , including many famous faces for Liverpool fans of a certain generation, is shown along with the manager, Bill Shankly.
A picture of the Newcastle United 1973-74 team, from the 1974 FA Cup final programme. The 17-man squad is shown along with the manager, Joe Harvey, and trainer Keith Burkinshaw.

@markmccaughrean well, at least every packet carried a government health warning 😏 I don't remember such warnings on cigarettes in italy in the 70s or 80s but, on the other side, cigarettes advertising was and keeps being banned.

@markmccaughrean i don't know but we experienced something like that in Italy for almost 30 years between the early 90s and late 2010s, with Berlusconi. Politics has becone more something against the opposite faction than towards something good to do for a community. Perhaps it's always been like that and i'm too naive to think it was better before 😑

@ranx@mastodon.social avatar

@markmccaughrean I agree. In fact "Berlusconi destroys the world" would sound like a joke or a black comedy title 😏

In spaceflight news today, China is about to launch three of its astronauts on Shenzhou 18 towards the Tiangong space station: liftoff is in about 7 minutes from now.

Should be going on CGTN within the next hour to talk about the mission & international collaboration in space exploration.

The latter is certainly an interesting question given the current geopolitical context 😬

Still no baby goats - really hoping today is the day (because tomorrow is all day Zoom meetings)

The plus side of having to go out to the barn at 2am to check on pregnant goats is that there were faint auroras (which actually must have been pretty bright just to compete with the nearly-fully moon), and I heard 2 great horned owls calling back and forth to each other.

@markmccaughrean the McCaughrean way for pesto is slightly different from the original but it's ok if it's good for you. 😉

@ranx@mastodon.social avatar

@markmccaughrean I see you know a lot about pesto 👍 btw, my favourite is the calabrese 🌶🔥 I recently tried a new variant which I like a lot with tomatoes and balsamic vinegar 😋

Another sunny, breezy spring day in NL 💨

The Moon is also in this shot albeit invisible, in the upper-left-middle moving towards the Sun 🌞🌑

And tomorrow evening our time, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun, totally or partially blocking it if you’re lucky enough to be in North America, Iceland, or the far west of Europe 🌎

I’ve seen one total solar eclipse, on Maunakea in Hawai’i in 1991 🌋

It’s one of the most truly awesome things you’ll ever witness 🙀

A timelapse movie of clouds blowing from the southwest over our garden in the Netherlands. The sky is blue between the white clouds and the Sun is visible most of the time to the upper-left.

@ranx@mastodon.social avatar

@markmccaughrean I can tell it was something worth the trip. I and other three friends were some of those crazy enough to drive 5 hours north to see totality. We stopped in Salzburg because it was on the 2 minutes totality line and also, why not Salzburg? Stuttgart would've been better, it was right at the center of the path but hey 🤷🏻‍♂️ I used this exact map almost 25 years ago 🤓

@sundogplanets I don't know how it works in Canada but here, when a strike is announced, it's not important if you're unionized or not, you can strike freely with no risk of losing your job 🤓 the union shield covers all the workers.

ranx,
@ranx@mastodon.social avatar

@sundogplanets yes, solidarity strike can happen only if your union decides to do so. strikes usually work by category unless it's announced a general strike.

Now that I learned that Starlink doesn't like the term "megaconstellation", I feel a little burst of spite-fuelled dopamine every time I use it, which is as often as I possibly can.

Megaconstellation, megaconstellation, megaconstellation. So there.

@sundogplanets perhaps they would prefer the term MAGAconstellation?
