In 1951, scientist Adelbert Ames created the mind‑bending Ames Window. This optical illusion features a rotating trapezoidal window that appears to oscillate back and forth instead of spinning continuously. It’s so effective that, even when you understand how it works, you still can’t break the illusion.

@SSB_Rick Massive well done Chris. I was drugs. 29 years clean on 18 May. One day at a time.

My name is Chris and I’m an alcoholic. Today is the big 50th day sober. 50 days ago I was stuck in a cycle I thought I’d never break. Telling myself “just one more” while slowly losing control of everything that mattered. Today, I wake up clear. Today, I remember everything. Today, I’m building a life instead of escaping it. It hasn’t been easy. There were nights I wanted to quit. Days I questioned if it was even worth it. But I kept going… one day at a time. 50 days isn’t the finish line. It’s proof that change is possible. If you’re struggling right now, hear this: You don’t have to do forever. Just do today. And then do it again tomorrow. People care. I care. And your day 1 could be closer than you think.

@ILoveSnooker_ My wife and I met Dennis a few years ago at Crucible. He and Ken Doherty spent ages chatting away to her, she is a massive snooker fan

You think you’re writing a memory. Turns out you’re opening a door. My first blog post (2017) became the start of a book—and everything after. New series: Between the Lines Part 1 is live. Between the Lines - Part 1 stuartpatterson.blog/2026/04/30/bet…

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced. This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

Going Back to What You Know — When the Familiar No Longer Works stuartpatterson.blog/2026/04/26/goi… via @stupatterson

@MarioNawfal Gardaland is a phenomenal theme park. And tickets still only from €39 when booked in advance. We were there a few times when girls were younger

🇮🇹 Italy has a roller coaster that drags you to the edge of a 42-meter drop, stops completely, and makes you stare straight down at 87° before letting go. Oblivion: The Black Hole at Gardaland. Your brain has nowhere to go but panic.

We don’t usually walk away. We drift. Back to what we know — until it no longer works. In John 21, Jesus meets them there. Feeds them first… then speaks. Sometimes what we’re looking for is found in learning to listen again. Going Back to What You Know — When the Familiar No Longer Works stuartpatterson.blog/2026/04/26/goi…

@LiamMcIlvanney So looking forward to reading this Liam

Right, that’s novel #6 finished. I may throw caution to the wind and indulge in a Guinness Zero…😉

NEW: Man walks out to his backyard to find 13 people in a hot air balloon basket looking back at him in Temecula, California. The resident, Hunter Perrin, says he was watching TV on Saturday morning when he got a knock on his front door from his neighbor. "We walked into the backyard and there's this basket full of 13 people, just sitting in the backyard looking at us," Perrin said. According to one of the hot air balloon riders, the pilot had to make an emergency landing because there wasn't enough wind and they had only a little fuel left. The pilot tried landing in the street but ended up in the backyard. No one was injured, and there was no property damage. Video: HPerrin / YouTube

Just going to leave this for the very nice older driver that decided to straddle two lanes on #M8_Glasgow to stop cars using inside lane up to merge. @transcotland

@Slimshady1961 Even the commentators on Celtic TV audio were going on about how our first instinct always seems to be to go backwards even when a forward pass is on

Ralston's 1st instinct when he gets the ball is to turn back - I think back to McGrain - every time he got the ball he had only one thing on his mind, attack no matter if he was inside the opposition half or inside his own penalty area

Something a wee bit different today. Been thinking about the cost of following football—and what it’s starting to ask of ordinary fans. People don’t stop supporting. They just find different ways to stay connected. stuartpatterson.blog/2026/04/12/whe… @WeAreTheFSA @DeclanRMcC @JimSpenceDundee

Holiness isn't distance - it is clarity. A life where what is true, what is good, and what is lived out begin to align. A week on from Good Friday, this is where the cross begins to make sense. The Holiness of God stuartpatterson.blog/2026/04/10/the…

@celtic_jaime @CelticFC Happy birthday buddy

Hopefully a @CelticFC win today for my birthday 🎈 🙏🍀

@Gastro_Celtic @bhoysviews I think most of us are the same with the detachment.

@bhoysviews I am in the phase where I'm largely 'detached'. The support can't affect it - the people in the middle need to stop putting money in and then gradually someone 'might' see a trend. For now just have to have blind faith they will stumble into a solution at some point.

Last two weeks have been an absolute joy. That ends today. Welcome back Michael Nicholson's Celtic. 👍🏻
