This is one of my favorite images from 2024. I combined 8 photographs of totality to create this interesting composite. You can see solar prominences! 🔭

Have any other photographers figured out how to increase engagement on bluesky? Asking for a friend 😅

I love it when HR personnel that spend their time saying the company is family and that we shouldn’t job hop end up job hopping themselves 😂 Nothing matters! There are no rules!

The woman I’m seeing is halfway through the final season of Lower Decks, and she just said that she will jump back to where I am (season one!) so we can finish the show together 🥹 this checks the box of all five love languages if you ask me

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?

I like to 3D print seasonal name tags for my office at work. Everything is designed just in the slicer!

I made the last pre-Christmas shipment of my 2025 calendar today! I’m so proud of it :)

I was planning a trip for some friends to get an Airbnb in the mountains for some skiing to celebrate my 50th Venusian birthday (I’m 30 Earth years old), but the prices are absolutely nuts.

Airbnb mansion: $200/person, fine
Ski gear rental: $90/person, ok
2 day ski pass: $470/person?

What the fuck

After seeing Interstellar in IMAX this week, I want to go again. It’s just never going to be good enough at home without my thoracic cavity resonating with Hans Zimmer’s music played through 12,000 watt amplifiers

I organized dinner and Interstellar in IMAX with 15 friends last night. I cried seven times
