With tears in their eyes

I remember you stacking hundreds of spectra in the 17th floor to characterize those gratings and find ghosts

Hadn't thought of it that way. Cool!

What do you mean by low SNR science? I would expect high SNR data would benefit more from exquisite knowledge of the PSF

Gators sleep on da bayou,
Bison sleep on the plain.
Racoons sleep by the garbage heap,
And Hobos sleep on the train

Snails sleep in the garden,
Duckies sleep on the pond.
Kangaroos sleep down under,
And (Kid's name) falls asleep to this song

@raffic.bsky.social, I love your cover/re-imagining of Goodnight Irene. I came up with a few extra verses after years of singing it to my kids at night.

Field mice sleep in the country,
Pigeons sleep in town,
Owls sleep by the daylight,
And wake when the sun goes down

I am screwing up my kids' sense of time. I've been sitting outside our youngest's room waiting for her to fall asleep. I told her I'd come back and check on her in 10 minutes, about 30 minutes ago, I think. I just wait until she asks "how much longer?" And say a number less than the previous answer.

French August = unapologetically go on a 4 week vacation and set an autoresponder snootily say your email will NOT be forwarded?

Or the French August involving barricades and guillotines?

When (if?) Trump’s America finally collapses in on itself, I wonder what will our version of Swan Lake be?

Sadly quite well

I've waited a long time for a song like this to come along. Spread it like wildfire.

And with any luck, you’ll end up with some off the wall stories for your grandkids

you're not wrong, and I don't mean to diminish how horrific the outcome would be if the rest of America rolls over and lets him do what he wants. However, we don't know who controls the House yet. Let's not give up until we're forced!

But Stephen miller was around for episode 1 too, right?

While this is objectively terrifying if it comes to pass (and everything should be done to stop it), maybe we should remember how the evergreen Infrastructure Week and Wall-That-Mexico-Pays-For ended up as punch lines last time around.

Does anyone know the effectivity of leaving a voicemail for a potential voter in a swing state? Sometimes I feel like I am just politely reading a script into the void.

Let’s do this America

I know a few of these registered republicans who voted early, and they did NOT vote for the Cheeto Mussolini, so maybe it’s not as bad as it seems

@remco-space.bsky.social howdy

Yeah! Screw those Trashtros!

I think Neal Evans can trace his academic genealogy back to some botanist the 1400’s in France

1400’s?

The illusion of choice

If you need some help sifting through the data, I would be willing to see if I can help.
