New Mexico comms guy. Mostly normal stuff: science, nature, history, Dad Life. From Philly area so some light Go Birds and other such nonsense.
Science is hilarious
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.
It sounds so human-like!

The California Coastal Commission has approved the extended operation of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant!
Huge win, this was not a certain outcome. Kudos to the advocates who showed up at the hearing to give public comment.

New results are in from the huge, underground LZ experiment: We really, really, really have not found dark matter.
LZ is so sensitive that it can see neutrinos! But still no sign of the hypothetical WIMP dark matter it was designed to detect. 🔭🧪

Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France
The 120 metre wall was either a fish-trap or a dyke for protection against rising sea-levels, archeologists believe.

JUST IN: Democrats are in comfortable leads in Albuquerque, as the early + mail vote has come in.
Democratic mayor Tim Keller leads his Republican opponent 58/42.
And in a city council race, Stephanie Telles leads 60% to 24%: her victory would flip the city council to the liberal faction.

A late medieval pocket sundial from Freiburg. The portable sundial once contained a small compass in the circular recess, helping to align the sundial along the north–south axis so the correct time could be determined.

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2
