Happy Easter.

A different perspective.
Always helpful.

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Dream Theater - Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu (Quarantième Live à Paris) YouTube video by Dream Theater

New live video from Dream Theater: youtu.be/f4En-2FfOgA?.... Looking forward to seeing the whole concert in November. Wonder how it will compare seeing them live last year.

A terrible, cryptid-style photo of del Toro walking past.

I couldn't get tickets to the world premiere of Frankenstein in Imax. They sold out in milliseconds.

My only choice was to get there 40 minutes early and wait in the standby line.

Guillermo del Toro walked by, saw me waiting, and had his team give me one of his personal guest tickets.

I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird YouTube video by Benn Jordan

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Neal Morse's new band Cosmic Cathedral sounds great! Like a groovier and a bit more rocky Transatlantic.

At my funeral there’ll be a 37 minute montage of me trying to find something to watch on Netflix

Catching up with last week's Severance and trying to decide if my new band name will be "Calamitous ORTBO" or "Bereavement Kit."

Excited to announce that our new game, The Electrifying Incident, launches in April!

In this monster mini-expedition, you'll explore the facility, avoid live electricity & repair a malfunctioning reactor.

A still image from Twin Peaks: Season 3, Episode 8. It is mostly black and white. A woman in a star speckled dress observes the wonder inside of a golden orb.

For David Lynch. I loved him, and I will miss him.

You are most welcome.

I truly mean it. I was moved. You put into words things that, seem to me, buried several layers deep in our subconscious. It just clicked — “of course!” :)
The “map without a legend” is such a great description.
