We had so much fun with our Book Club, we extended it by a month! We're spending October in the Silmarillion! Today's episode takes us from the Ainunlindalë (when the Ainur sing the world into existence) to the Darkening of Valinor (when Morgoth and Ungoliant consumed the light of the two trees and stole the Silmarils).

Jeff Bezos' Vision for Orbital Data Centers: Jeff Bezos has proposed a revolutionary concept of building large-scale data centers in Earth's orbit within the next 10 to 20 years. This ambitious idea aims to leverage continuous solar power and extreme cold temperatures in space to optimize computing efficiency. However, the technical and economic challenges associated with such a venture are immense, with potential costs reaching into the tens of billions.The Rarity of Technological Civilizations: New research suggests that technological civilizations in our galaxy may be exceedingly rare, with the nearest one potentially located 33,000 light years away. Scientists emphasize the delicate balance of geological and atmospheric conditions necessary for intelligent life to thrive, raising questions about our unique existence in the universe.Darkening of the Northern Hemisphere: A concerning study reveals that the Northern Hemisphere is gradually becoming darker, absorbing more solar energy than the Southern Hemisphere. This trend, driven by factors like melting sea ice and reduced aerosol levels, could disrupt global weather patterns and intensify climate change, underscoring the intricate balance of Earth's climate system.Astonishing Growth of a Richie Planet: Observations of the rogue planet CHA 11077626 have shown it pulling in gas and dust at an unprecedented rate of 6 billion tons per second. This behavior blurs the lines between planets and stars, prompting new discussions about the formation of free-floating celestial bodies and their classification in the cosmos.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

SYNOPSISIn a reflective essay, I express sorrow over recent deaths and societal evils while finding peace and joy through faith in the Lord. I emphasize the Bible as a guiding manual for life and salvation, offering hope amidst darkness and urging readers to look to Jesus for comfort and understanding.Further resourcesI have Hope, song by Dallas Holmhttps://youtu.be/9Iw-pT94VxU?si=7k5MIXfU2gF7knt9Our Nation's Descent into Depravity (sermon)What's happening in our country? How did we get to this point? What's the cause of our nation's descent into depravity?The reality of God's wrath (sermon)The truth is, a biblically accurate understanding of God's righteous wrath can only increase our appreciation for His tremendous grace. Understanding the depth of our spiritual needs and the punishment due for our sinful rebellion enriches our understanding of the full majesty of His grace to us.When God abandons a nation (sermon)This section is about the wrath of God. Admittedly not a popular subject, certainly not a popular subject in the world and not even a very popular subject in the church. But an absolutely critical and central subject to any understanding of the gospel, the wrath of God.Has America's point of no return been reached?

Bring your attention inward. Noticing the weight of your body on your bed. Feeling the softness of your sheets or blankets. Hearing the soft whispers of your breath as it enters and exits your nose. Observing where your body may be tight and inviting those areas to relax. Relaxing your cheeks and jaw. Lowering your shoulders, Softening your belly, Relaxing your arms and legs. Surrender to the soothing rhythm of your body, And breathe. PAUSE… One by one, the thoughts may bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. Begging for your attention. They tease you with a false sense of importance, Making you feel like you have to give into their cries. But you don't.   Their dramas don't need to be played out right now.  Now is your time for sleep.  Your time to restore your mind, body and soul. Your time to be embraced by the loving arms of the night. Nothing needs to be done.  Nothing needs to be figured out.  Just breathe… PAUSE… The thoughts will continue to arise and that's normal.  They may be helpful thoughts, trying to manage or organize your days. Or maybe they're excited thoughts, swirling with people, ideas and experiences that make you smile with hope and exhilaration. Or maybe they're anxious thoughts, soaked in worry, fear and stress. They could even be seemingly random and strange thoughts, depicting memories or insights that don't make much sense. Whatever is coming to the surface,  See if you can imagine each of these thoughts as a small glowing ball of light, floating in the air around you. And every time you breathe out, Imagine that your breath extinguishes the light on one of these thoughts, one of these balls of light. Breathe out and turn off the thoughts. One by one.  With each breath out.  Darkening the space around you as each ball of light turns off and vanishes into the night.  Breathe out. Breathe out.

Vast areas of the ocean are getting darker, according to research based on satellite imaging. Marine ecosystems are governed by faint light changes – from mass nightly migrations to coral spawning cycles – so what happens when that light begins to fade? Ian Sample talks to Prof Tim Smyth from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory about why this darkening is happening and how life in the ‘photic zone' – the sunlit upper layer that is home to 90% of marine organisms – could be profoundly affected Planet's darkening oceans pose threat to marine life, scientists say.

This week, we continue our discussion of The Silmarillion with the the forging of the Silmarils, domestic discord in the House of Finwë, and the secret origins of Tolkien's most terrifying creation.

This week, we're examining Ezekiel 32, the final chapter of eight in his Oracles Against the Nations. This chapter also concludes the series of seven oracles against Egypt. It consists of lamentations for Pharaoh and the Egyptian forces, symbolically depicting their defeat and descent into Sheol.The sixth oracle against Egypt came to Ezekiel on March 3, 585 BCE, two years after the previous oracle and two months after news of Jerusalem's fall reached the exiles (33:21). By this time, new refugees lived among them in Tel Abib, and they were hearing Ezekiel's prophecies for the first time. All hope of Egyptian intervention was lost.Ezekiel raised a final lament for Pharaoh saying, “You consider yourself a lion among the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, trouble the water with your feet, and foul your streams” (32:2). Ezekiel then returned to his earlier imagery of a crocodile or tannim, a mythical sea monster. Yahweh decreed that he, and a throng of people, would capture the sea monster in a net and hurl it into an open field. Exposed to the elements, the creature would die. Perhaps this was Ezekiel's way of portraying Pharaoh's exile to a foreign land. Scavenging animals and birds would eat from his massive carcass that overlaid the mountains and filled the valleys with his blood (32:3-4).When the creature died, God would darken the skies. He said, “All the shining lights of the heavens I will darken above you and put darkness on your land” (32:7). Darkening the sun, moon, and stars was reminiscent of the Exodus, the last time God confronted the pharaoh by displaying his power over all of nature (Ex. 10:21-24). God also vowed that he would wipe out all of Egypt's livestock (32:13). During the Exodus, the fifth plague God sent on Egypt specifically targeted the animals of Egypt but spared the livestock of the Israelites. According to Ezekiel, so little would survive in Egypt that the Nile River and its channels would have a chance to rest. Without cattle kicking up mud or humans drawing water, the debris would settle, and its streams would run clear as oil (33:14). Support the show

While it seem the crew of the Black Sheep have found a safe place for now, The Darkening seems to close around them. Perhaps the things that dwell here can provide what they need to escape the grasp of Clyff's auntie. Music by Epidemic Sound. Logo art by Winston Fujino (@winstonfujino).

Portland. Southeast 4 or 5 increasing 7 or 8 veering South 4 or 5 later. Occasional showers. Good, becoming moderate.  The Shipping Forecast marks its centenary on the BBC today. Happy birthday from Radio Lento! ----- Take as a seat one of the large flat stones under a tree. It's a lone tree, full of sparrows. Watch the ocean boats. The high tide is on the turn. Shallow waves rolling about between the rocks. They're playing that game of colouring in. Darkening the boulders to show where they've been. Surge, break, wash, dissolve.   Rest both hands on the sun-warm stone. Follow the ships and boats as they sail the shipping channel. Marine engines are felt as much in the chest as in the ears. Slowly each slides from view. Keep still though, so as not to frighten the sparrows.  Sparrows, and softly breaking waves, and humming boats, and time in a coastal edgeland space, and no interruptions, might be good for a bit of thinking. That kind of thinking best done without notes. Without words or screens, prompts or lists. And without talking. Flow time thinking where thoughts and ideas and worries and inspirations surge, and break, and wash, and dissolve, just like the waves.  * Happy New Year! Episode 251 is our first for 2025.

Tom welcomes back, Jesse Felder, founder, editor, and publisher of The Felder Report, to discuss inflation and its impact on investments. Felder argues that American citizens consider inflation a major issue, despite the Federal Reserve's efforts to contain it. He suggested the Fed might accept higher-than-targeted inflation levels in the future. Felder touches upon bond markets as indicators of potential inflation trends and the possibility of another "lost decade" for stock and bond portfolios due to current valuations. Felder criticizes passive investing, citing negative annual returns over a 10-year period, and emphasizes individual investors' attention to Warren Buffett's investment philosophy, focusing on valuation sensitivity. Buffett's massive cash position in Berkshire Hathaway was discussed, with reasons for his disinterest in gold and cautious approach due to concerns over the fiscal situation. Jesse suggests individual investors pay heed to Buffett's underlying investment strategy while acknowledging opportunities unavailable to Berkshire Hathaway. Felder also highlights the potential for a steep market reversal following the stock market's overexuberance post-Trump's election and emphasized insider activity and buy-sell ratios as indicators of earnings and economic disappointments in the equity market. He encourages investors to be cautious given current extreme valuations. Felder expresses his interest on oil and gas stocks due to the changing inflation environment and the new floor at $70 for oil prices. He believes that energy producers would benefit from a more stable foundation for their commodity, despite concerns about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's size and potential implications of inflation and peak oil production.
