I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).
To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

I think I have a new favorite metaphor for living with ADHD, which is that it's like just living with somebody constantly talking into your ear about random shit while you're trying to do something

I'm looking at an old (17th century-ish) world map, and it just occurred to me that one way to find out that the earth is round would be to basically travel a path that makes a large enough triangle and go "huh, that leg of the trip was shorter than it is on the map"

You know that whole problem with soulmates where you inevitably end up asking questions like "but what if my soulmate lives on the other side of the planet?" I think that's the real magic of the internet

As a queer person raised by non-conservative Catholics, I genuinely do believe that the official doctrine of the Catholic Church is WAY less shitty than people using it to justify their bullshit say it is
VATICAN CITY, Nov 8 (Reuters)
Transgender people can be godparents at Roman Catholic baptisms, witnesses at religious weddings and receive baptism themselves, the Vatican's doctrinal office said on Wednesday, responding to questions from a bishop.

my pick for greatest modern-era nba photo used to be wade posing in foreground / lebron dunking in the background, but i think the new #1 is obvious. it wouldn't work nearly as well if wemby wasn't 7'4. the spurs are going nuts for the basketball head man like barney the dinosaur just came to life

🚨🧵 Growing up, my family made regular trips to Borders Books (yes, that still existed in my childhood). The first thing I did upon entering the story was run to the magazine section and check out the latest issue of @SciAm.
