Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Watching “The Menagerie” on PLUTO TV right now, and I always love when Mendez asks Kirk if he ever met Captain Pike. 😜

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

A devastating loss to the Star Trek community and the world. Subrina, you will be missed.

I stopped to admire the brick pattern. I like how this angle shows the three-dimensional layout of the brick facade.

Huge congratulations to the new Astronaut class, announced today, including the outstanding Dr. Lauren Edgar. Only one lunar astronaut was a geoscientist; the Apollo program needed skilled pilots to get to the ground. The future is bright for crewed scientific exploration of the cosmos.
I'm absolutely THRILLED to hear my Mars colleague, Dr. Lauren Edgar was selected for the 2025 ASCAN Class. She will be an unbelievable addition to the Astronaut Corps- representing our Mars geology community well- and joining our current Mars geology NASA Astronaut, Dr. Jessica Watkins.

I’m thrilled to announce my new position as Research Principal Investigator at the SETI Carl Sagan Center for Research. This career move frees me to pursue my research interests in understanding how volcanoes shape worlds (and what we can do about it). Per aspira ad astra! @setiinstitute.bsky.social

Watching Star Trek First Contact with a couple hundred Trekkies on giant screens on the floor of a Vegas Casino is something special.
Thanks to the new owners of the Rio for showing the #STLV convention some love. They put on a Trek movie every night - Galaxy Quest on Sunday!

People complain about question askers at professional conferences, but have you ever been to a Star Trek convention?
Some gems at this year’s #STLV.
