Spokesperson for Welsh singer shared further update on her health after she was rushed to hospital in Faro, Portugal
Bonnie Tyler has been placed into an induced coma to aid her recovery after emergency intestinal surgery, a spokesperson for the singer has said.
It was revealed on Wednesday that the 74-year-old had been rushed to a hospital near her home in Faro, Portugal, for the procedure, and was recuperating.

In je eentje een hele band zijn – best lastig, maar toch zijn er de nodige artiesten die het kunnen en doen. Zo ook de Schot James McBain, die in zijn eentje Hellripper vormt. Kun je wel lekker je eigen ding doen, en hoef je geen rekening te houden met anderen, enzo. De kwaliteit van de muziek hoeft er niet onder te lijden, blijkt wel weer.

Weer eens wat anders dan de pijlers - debat, dialoog, vrede en rede - die we van Nederlandse uni's kennen. Tijdens de vooraf al beladen conferentie The Risks of Weaponizing International Law over Israël ('critici' noemden de sprekers lobbyisten van Israël) liep de spanning tussen twee hoogleraren vanochtend hoog op aan de VU. Zo hoog, dat de ene een klap uitdeelde aan de andere. Het Parool sprak de (aan)geslagen hoogleraar: "De VU-hoogleraar zegt dat hij aan de tweede spreker, de Amerikaanse majoor Andrew Fox (Fox is overigens een Brit, red.), een vraag stelde over het gebruik van seksueel geweld door het Israëlische defensieleger (IDF). Omdat Fox deze en andere vragen leek te ontwijken, eisten mensen die achter de VU-hoogleraar zaten dat Fox de vragen zou beantwoorden. De persoon die naast de VU-hoogleraar zat, begon die mensen te filmen. Toen de VU-hoogleraar deze persoon – eveneens hoogleraar, van een andere universiteit – daarop aansprak, haalde die naar hem uit." Vlugge reactie VU: "De voorbereiding had beter gekund." Tja, da's duidelijk. En zo zie je maar weer dat die hoogopgeleiden, de boven het onderontwikkeld klootjesvolk gestelden, ook net mensen zijn. En soms net kinderen.

The website for the Abolitionist Guide to NYC is just getting started, but the site does house an Abolitionist Map of NYC.
The Abolitionist Map of NYC offers a geographic survey of incarceration and anti-carceral resistance in Manahatta from the Dutch colonization of Lenapehoking to the present day. The map highlights some of the first jails and prisons to exist in the area, the movement of facilities from one place to the next, and sites of rebellion against the expansion of the prison industrial complex.
It is meant to serve as a tool for abolitionist resistance grounded in a long view of the struggle, tactics, and goals.
The map is available as a PDF and as an interactive version. (via @prisonculture.bsky.social)

Don’t let anyone dull your shine 💫
The heart of galaxy M77 is shining so brightly in this Webb telescope image, it nearly outshines the galaxy itself. The intense glow is due to gas being pulled by the strong gravity of the central black hole into a tight and rapid orbit around it. The motion of the gas causes it to heat up, releasing tremendous amounts of radiation.
In this near-infrared image, a bar spanning across the central region is revealed. The bar is enclosed by a bright ring, called a starburst ring, formed by the inner ends of M77’s two spiral arms. Starburst regions in galaxies are typified by extremely high star-formation rates. This ring is more than 6 000 light-years across and displays intense and widespread starbursts, visible in both near and mid-infrared.
Those bright orange lines radiating out of the center are diffraction spikes. They aren’t a physical feature of the galaxy, but an optical effect caused by the telescope itself. Observing a bright object results in the light being slightly bent (or diffracted) around the edges of the telescope primary mirror, and the struts that hold the secondary mirror. In this case, Webb’s primary mirror segments are hexagonal, and there is a tripod holding up the secondary, which gives the resulting spike effect a distinctive six-plus-two-pointed signature pattern. Hubble images will show 4 point diffraction spikes due to the different configuration.

Image Description: A spiral galaxy shown in near-infrared light. Six long, thin rays of light emit from the center, which are diffraction spikes created by the telescope’s optics. A glowing bar spans across the center. A glittering orange ring of stars and dust surrounds the bar; at each side, the ring splits off into a spiral arm that winds outwards, traced by dark red dust and more glowing orange spots. The galaxy’s disc is a pale glow.

This image is Webb’s mid-infrared view with swirling filaments of dust shown in blue. The glowing orange bubbles along the arms are being carved out by newly formed star clusters.

Image Description: A spiral galaxy shown in mid-infrared light. The image is dominated by an extremely bright glow from the galaxy’s nucleus. Six large and two smaller rays of light emit from the centre, which are diffraction spikes created by the telescope’s optics. The galaxy’s spiral arms are visible by two lines of glowing orange bubbles which whirl out into the disc. Swirling blue clouds of dust make up the rest of the galaxy.
