Also, got to hang out with this buddy while waiting for the rocket launch. A willet, I think?

A very cool Space Coast afternoon: Got to watch NASA's #ESCAPADE mission lift off on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. Congrats to all involved!

To put it simply: whoa
🚀 As we wait for the next CME — and maybe more aurora action — here’s a look at what’s racing toward Earth! ⚡️ This eruption and CME blasted out with yesterday’s X5.2 flare, complete with a powerful shock and particles hitting the cameras. Fingers crossed 🤞 and skies clear! 🌌

I stumbled across a very cool bookstore in my neighborhood only to promptly discover it's closing due to a new landlord/owner retiring. Anyway, I've been hella unemployed and depressed for over a year...so, is this my sign to become a bookshopkeep?

Here's my #GARtwork for #GarWeek 2025. I call this markers on paper composition “Under the Surface.” It’s inspired by the alligator gar’s magical smile + the power of #scicomm.

Thank you to @garlab.bsky.social,
@solomonrdavid.bsky.social, OKWildlifeDept, + all involved in #GarWeek2025

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

I am blanking. Anyone have any cool ideas for host gifts that aren't baked goods, candles, alcohol, or plants/flowers?

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

If you're watching the opening to the movie, and a character destroys a beautiful, historic building while his cronies erase colorful crosswalks under the cover of night, you immediately know who the villain is...and we haven't even gotten to the human rights violations part.
