God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Man, man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth

Had an amazing time watching #thehighlife this afternoon! I have been so incredibly excited about watching this show, and it was everything I hoped it would be!

Noooo!

I fell asleep an hour before it, but was lucky enough to wake up 5 minutes before it happened!

We did once attempt to recreate this iconic moment.

A chart from al Jazeera showing the crew of the Artemis II (and the ROCKET itself). They are Reid Wiseman, 50. Victor glover, 49. Christina Koch, 47. Jeremy Hansen, 50.

People wanna say you're washed up by middle age, but the YOUNGEST person on this moon mission is 47.

Reid Wiseman just took the only good iPhone moon photo in history

The deleterious effects of not having a hobby are becoming a defining point in this cultural moment—and who is poised to help? That’s right: the autistics. Job fair day where we all set up tables explaining our deep dives and give people a hand out, a path back to society.

We pack a handful of folks into a tin can loaded with explosives. The computers are running Windows and the toilet is malfunctioning. We hurl them at a distant rock. Everything about where they are is deadly. And it is sublimely beautiful, one of the greatest things we’ve done as a species. #Artemis

Towards the middle of April parts of the canal beside the Philosopher's Path (哲学の道) become a river of petals.
The phrases 'hana-no-ukibashi' (花の浮橋 'floating bridge of flowers') and 'hanaikada' (花筏 'flower raft') both describe water thick with petals.

I’m reading The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, which I chose as our work book club book, and I’m enjoying the NASA coverage of the real thing alongside it!

I’m in this photo and I rather like it

Title: Easter Egg Hunt techniques inspired by great detectives Panel 1: Sherlock Holmes. Deduce the exact location of every egg from seemingly unrelated details without leaving your room. Send your amazed sidekick to fetch them. Panel 2: Jack Reacher Hit the garden hard and fast. Take no prisoners Get back on the road. This approach results in a thrillingly intense hunt, but very few intact eggs. Panel 3: George Smiley Meticulously assess documents, people and motives. Then scrupulously collect the eggs and dejectedly wonder if any of it was worthwhile.

I am a medieval historian!! The world always is in a state, it has never not been in a state, joy and delight and beauty is what humanity exists for

Brilliant 🤣

We just chose The Calculating Stars for our work book club (at my suggestion) so looking forward to getting my copy!

On first glance I thought it was mouse-sized, not a human portion!

Excellent day for space news!

What you think of a particular language, dialect, or accent is about your attitude towards the people who use it, not some intrinsic property of the linguistic variety itself

All varieties are valid, systematic, worthy of study and respect

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

I’m really looking forward to reading this one!

Folklore does not just comprise old practices. Modern folklore exists and is created and revised everyday. Rituals, customs, celebrations, legends; all of those also appear and evolve in our modern context as they have in previous ones. And they deserve as much study and appreciation as ancient ones
