Interesting tidbit from this Wikipedia article in light of today's episode (emphasis mine) :

Much of Newton's writing on alchemy may have been lost in a fire in his laboratory, so the true extent of his work in this area may have been larger than is currently known. Newton also suffered a nervous breakdown during his period of alchemical work.

Newton's writings suggest that one of the main goals of his alchemy may have been the discovery of the philosopher's stone (a material believed to turn base metals into gold), and perhaps to a lesser extent, the discovery of the highly coveted Elixir of Life. Newton reportedly believed that a Diana's Tree, an alchemical demonstration producing a dendritic "growth" of silver from solution, was evidence that metals "possessed a sort of life."

SPACEMAS DAY 8 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

On December 4, periodic Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was found sharing this telescopic field of view with Vega, alpha star of the northern constellation Lyra. As the fifth brightest star in Earth's night sky, Vega is 25 light-years away while the much fainter comet was about 21 light-minutes away. In recent months, outbursts have caused dramatic increases in brightness for the comet. A Halley-type comet, 12P/Pons-Brooks last visited the inner Solar System in 1954. Its next perihelion passage or closest approach to the Sun will be April 21, 2024. That's just two weeks after the April 8 total solar eclipse path crosses North America.

Speaking as an astronomer with an interest in science history:

#1 Isaac Newton was just LIKE THAT

#2 Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley (Maxwell Raynor) were very close friends so that has some potential implications.

now that it's a few months behind us, I think the S4 finale was an attempt at tommy understanding dream and finding peace by proxy, not because he ever agreed with dream but because he finally understood why the pain that dream caused him was happening. tommy finally figured out that he wasn't the problem, it was dream's insecurities. it, in a way, relieves him from the thought that he's the cause of all issues.

tommy has been told since day one that he was a problem, a burden, dirt under everyone's shoes. for him to see through dream's bullshit and find out that all of it was a lie, that it was just dream being insecure and dumping that on him, brought him an immense amount of relief. it's why he apologized when he realized that the nuke was coming. it was an apology to dream and to himself: to dream because tommy was wildly sympathetic and knew that all of it was dream's internal problems, and to himself because he finally felt like he could breathe again and knew that he wouldn't be able to fully experience life without an immense amount of guilt and shame.

to me, the S4 finale was about tommy finally finding peace. peace with wilbur, with tubbo, with l'manberg, with exile, and most importantly, with himself.

Happy New Years! We went and watched the last sunset of 2022 at the beach and it was an epic one!

Then back home for cocktails and chilling with Halley on the couch. Hope 2023 is a good year for you all!
