This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Reminds me of this under-resourced Ukrainian army officer who, nevertheless, described successfully terrorizing a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."
Someone commented, saying, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

And boy do σαλιγκάρια taste good!
I just learnt that in the Greek version of SpongeBob Squarepants, Gary the snail is named Gari, short for σαλιγκάρι (pronounced salingari), which is the Greek word for snail.
In the episode where Homer adopts a pet lobster it is called Mr Pinchy. In the European French version of The Simpsons, Mr Pinchy is instead called Homard Simpson (homard means lobster in French)

Periodic reminder: Ukraine has the gayest, transest, most women in combat army in Europe. Russia doesn't have women in combat.

I am old. I’ve been through so many waves of hustle culture. Outside of occasional crunch times, the overwork is always unnecessary, performative nonsense that provides cover for some combination of bad ideas, abusive leadership, disorganization, a total lack of strategy etc etc.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.
Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.
This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’
Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?
MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Sadly had to reopen this as Nancy is back in ICU in critical condition. Work is holding my job open but another month without pay will be rough.
Even though I should not be ashamed about this, I am. If you can help I thank you, if you cannot, I also thank you as I wouldn’t have made it this far without your emotional support.
