Taking a passport photo as you get older is truly humbling.

I don't think Russell Brand was particularly of the left or right. Like many narcissists, he would attach himself to whatever groups got him the most attention and, through that, power. There was no core belief, hence the reinvention.
A bit like Saville. Or, dare I say, Trump.

If you're a Christian and you're defending Russel Brand because he suddenly found Christianity, then you are being used.

Reflect Orbital conducted the October 10 test using powerful ground-based spotlights to simulate sunlight redirected from orbit by large reflective mirrors.
Working with China Lake Mountain Rescue, the company illuminated terrain across roughly three miles, allowing rescue teams to conduct nighttime searches, stretcher carries and other emergency-response exercises.
Reflect Orbital ultimately wants to deploy satellites capable of directing sunlight toward specific areas on Earth after sunset, potentially supporting emergency operations and extending electricity generation at solar farms.
The company received FCC authorization in July for its first experimental satellite, Eärendil-1, which will use an 18-meter reflector to test the concept from orbit.
The October demonstration used ground-based lighting. No orbital mirror has yet demonstrated the proposed capability.View quoted post on X
So I've booked my first two triathlons for next year: Holkham Middle (a 70.3 race), and T100 London.
My aim is to do three middle-distance races, and the third (actually, the first) will probably be a ATW Events race in May. Each should have unique challenges.
