Go big *and* go home. 🏠

On this day last year, Webb successfully completed the million-mile journey to its current home base. Since then, it’s hit one home run after another — from the deepest, sharpest infrared image taken to its first rocky, Earth-size exoplanet confirmation.

Lots of potential in this game, but sadly there's not much to do in it yet. I'd wait some more.

Read a thoughtful, cogent rebuttal of some of the points in that BBC post while unable to sleep. He agrees with some of it, too. noahpinion.substack.com/p/actu…

I don’t fully agree with the article, and find it very one-sided. I think this explains it better: noahpinion.substack.com/p/actu…

In a field dominated by men, Chien-Shiung Wu became one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.

Her research tested the fundamental laws of nuclear & quantum physics. She was the first Chinese-American elected to the National Academy of Sciences & the first female president of the American Physical Society.

Wu was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1975 & the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. She passed away in 1997.

Anyone waiting for a good Mastodon client for macOS should go buy Spring for Mac on the App Store, then use the link in Settings → About Spring to download the beta of @MonaApp for Mac. It’s already spectacular, and developing fast. Here I have it set up to follow three timelines, including a pinned hash tag.

One question: do you think people have to be exceptional before they are accepted?
in reply to Muse

Nah, but it helps.
Sigh, such seems to be the human condition, point out a group that is NOT you and proclaim them bad/evil/mot human, so everybody can join the fun of hating the 'other' pretty successful in the eve of WWII, and that same beat is beaten by every tin pot wannabe dictator and alt/extreme/right-wing politic group everywhere 🙁


You remember Blondel! He wrote "Tithes are high" or "Richard, one way or another I am going to find you".

Seriously, if EVs had been first to capture the car market, people would have laughed at the ICE.

Clearly they didn't consult the flowchart when designing this product


“They’re selling used books as new. Look at that copy: no matter when it was printed or if it went to someone’s home or not, that is a battered copy that should not be sold as new. But they’re selling a used copy as new and dropping the price to used-book prices.” skyladawncameron.com/2023/01/s…

💧New finding: Water percolating underground from the Sierra Nevada mountains into California’s Central Valley provides 10% of all water entering the valley, measured using NASA satellite data and GPS.

The region relies heavily on underground water for crop irrigation.

takes like a thousand gallons of water to make 1 gallon of almond milk, and they do it in an arid region, makes a bunch of fucking sense doesn't it?
