Bullet list update on Trumpโs Davos speech focused on energy from Bloomberg News. The bullets read: - Trump: Can Have Nuclear Energy Now at Good Prices and Safe - Trump: Gasoline Prices Will Soon Be Less Than $2/Gallon - Trump on Venezuela: Every Major Company Is Coming With US - Trump: US Is Helping Venezuela, Weโll Split Oil Revenue W/ Them - Trump: US Oil Production up by 730,000 Barrels A Day - Trump: US Natural Gas Production at All-Time High - Trump Reiterates Attack on Wind Mills
The last one made me chuckle
Here for contractual ghosts of city - do they need a lawyer as well?
Following you both because I need more people who listen to Mr Airplane Man!
NASAโs Perseverance Rover drilled into Marsโs Jezero crater and pulled up a piece of mudstone covered in markings that resemble those left behind by metabolizing microbes on Earth. More investigation is needed but still, the finds are incredibly exciting.

A wooden table with a half destroyed Lego Enterprise D saucer section and assorted bricks scattered around
Sabotage! Unfortunately the shipyard was struck by two Romulan agents last night - tentatively identified as Grav Itee and Bโutt erfin Gers which has caused some damage to the saucer section. Fortunately no raw materials were lost and the ship was in testing phase so we will persevere!
Lego enterprise D with a partially constructed saucer section now connected to the warp section and mounted on a Lego stand. Thereโs a row of minifigures in front consisting of Geordi, Data, Picard, Riker, Dr Crusher and Wesley
And we have a connection! Work still to do on the saucer but this is looking more like a starship now :)
Captain Picard Lego minifigure holding a cup of tea. Earl Grey Hot and you know it
Welcome Mon Capitane! Classic upper management move to show up as soon as we got the tea replicators installed!
Wide-angle view of a wooden dining table where a partially constructed Lego model of the Star Trek Enterprise-D lies flat in the center, its saucer section incomplete with exposed studs and hinged grey panels. Behind it, the battle bridge section with the deflector and warp nacelles is on a black lego stand
Time to get back to it! Our saucer section is coming along nicely with the skeleton in place!
Missed yesterday but I guess this counts as a good start to the year

Would be interesting to get @alastaircampbell2.bsky.socialโs thoughts on this interesting piece in the FT:
www.ft.com/content/6587... What are politicians talking about?
Data Lego minifigure with a Spot minifigure next to him.
DATA! And SPOT!!
Small Lego block with a sticker of the Ship name plate for the Enterprise. Thereโs the Starfleet logo with the following text below: U.S.S. ENTERPRISE GALAXY CLASS STARFLEET REGISTRY NCC-1701-D โโฆto boldly go where no one has gone before.โ
Emotional moment.
The Lego Enterprise D model now with the warp nacelles installed. Itโs the bottom half of the ship and is missing the saucer section.
Phew, it took a while to get the warp nacelles constructed (the bussard collectors were particularly fun!). Also we have our first Starfleet logo! I believe sheโs battle ready now! Could potentially take on the Borg :)
Halfway there!
Half completed Lego Enterprise D in the background with a bunch of mini figures in the foreground and a pile of Lego bricks in between. The figures are Geordi La Forge holding a briefcase, Riker holding a trombone, Dr Crusher holding a tricorder and Wesley holding his portable tractor beam
Finally! Geordi joins the party! Good to have someone who knows how to set up a warp core
Lego Enterprise D. We have most of the bottom half constructed although are missing the warp nacelles. Thereโs Riker with a trombone, Dr Crusher with her tricorder and Wesley with his portable tractor beam on a platform
Happy New Year! We have most of the battle bridge ready AND the deflector!! Feel almost ready to take on the Borg! We could use an engineer at this point tho instead of Riker with his Trombone but here we are
A pile of Legoโs in the foreground on the left, with something that looks like a partial battle bridge of the Enterprise D!
Our hull seems to be progressing nicely, although some of the staff might have been busy with holiday food and drink ๐

Wesley Crusher Lego figurine next to Dr Crusher. Heโs holding a contraption with a long proboscis which is supposed to be a portable tractor beam and has an expression of general terror on his face
About time Wesley showed up to help his mom out. That portable tractor beam should come in handy! ๐
A bit of Lego construction progress, we have a minifigure display strip with Dr. Beverly Crusher ready. And a small vaguely rib like construction of grey Lego
2 bags in and we have good progress to report from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. Looking vaguely (aero)nautical ๐
Lego figurine of Dr. Beverly crusher standing amongst some other scattered Lego bricks
Why hello there Dr. Crusher! Great to have you around in case we need some medical attention during the construction ๐คญ
A table with two volumes of instructions for the USS enterprise Lego set, and a cup of coffee on the right. Thereโs some kitchen condiments and fruit in the background at the back of the table
Right, boxes opened, 30 bags arranged, coffee and water, 2 instruction books - letโs go!
A wooden dining table with the boxes for the Starship Enterprise LEGO set and the shuttle pod on it. Time to get building!
It is time to engage and make it so!
A view from Waterloo Bridge looking towards London Eye. You can see the top half of Big Ben through the bottom half of the London Eye. The sun has set behind, but you can see lovely orange and purple hues in the cloud behind. Thereโs the concrete edges of the National Theatre on the right
This city can be beautiful sometimes ๐
Tried going for speed over careful consideration..ah well!
