A "Little Free Library" filled with only Merriam-Webster Dictionaries

Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.

Honestly this is what worries me so much about “AI overviews.” If I can’t trust the sourcing is vetted then I can’t trust the output.

My intern pondered whether he would become more conservative as he got older. I told him I’ve become more liberal as I’ve aged. Because the more I understand how the world works, incl how awful conditions are too often awful by choice, the more I embrace ideas calling for radical, positive change.

SPLASHDOWN!!!

What an amazing day filled with science & Moon joy! I’ll be painting Artemis pics the rest of the week if you want to follow along! I’ll sprinkle in some planetary science for you too 🫶

As much as I miss Elliot Cadeau playing at UNC (just imagine what he and Wilson could have done this season), he’s crushing it at Michigan and I really hope he gets a national championship.

Jk they re-established coms with the spacecraft

We can do such amazing things; they make us so much better. And we are doing so few of them compared to what we could choose to do.

Oh shit the Moon *was* haunted

That little sliver on the right? That’s the Earth. Home. Where all of humanity is on or in orbit except four people who are currently ABOVE THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

As a space and science nerd it’s very hard for me to somehow just keeping working while this is happening in real time

I didn’t even realize she had passed but I cried when they cried.

What a heartbreaking and tender moment in the capsule when they paid an emotional tribute to Astronaut Wiseman’s deceased wife by requesting a crater be named for her. The whole crew hugged him and wiped away their own tears.

Apollo record surpassed!!! Way to go Integrity and Artemis II!!!!

Good morning everyone today is MOON DAY 🚀🌖🥰 #Artemis

Watching the excellence of UCLA’s seniors makes me miss the days when the men’s side also built real teams for the long haul and didn’t settle for one-and-dones and single-season transfer portal players.

Way to go Bruins!!

I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

It’s remarkable how much chapter 1 rings true today re: biotechnology and regulation. Like nothing has really changed in over 30 years.

I got to attend my first Passover Seder and it was lovely

During the early phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, I taught a series of courses on basic epidemiology for journalists

My course materials are still available!

This is something I try to live by

It’s true. All Boozer had to do was clutch the ball as tightly as possible and wait to get fouled. Get the ten second call? Who cares? Game would be over.
