The world runs on Excel. And Word, good grief. 😬

Coming to a US city near you.

Michelle Mone told us ‘business isn’t easy’ during Covid. How are things now, your ladyship? | Marina Hyde After a company she was linked to was ordered to repay £122m it made from pandemic deals, the baroness has embarked on a masterclass in victimhood, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

BREAKING: The Late Show With Stephen Colbert portrays JD Vance.

“We heard that JD Vance loves a good-natured, funny meme, so we made one just for him!”

I'm choosing to believe this is actual footage and not 'AI'

Why it’s time to rethink the notion of an autism ‘spectrum’ The idea of autism as a single spectrum has shaped thinking for decades. But many autistic people and researchers now argue the metaphor is misleading.

Excellent article. 👏

The giant telescope ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) is under construction on Cerro Armazones in Chile's Atacama Desert. With a 39-meter diameter mirror, it will become the world's largest optical telescope, providing images 16 times sharper than Hubble's.

Extremely Large Telescope: The Biggest Eye on the Sky The world's largest telescope is being built on a mountaintop in Chile. It will be able to directly image rocky exoplanets.

I did, yes indeed, the quote is from:

www.space.com/40746-extrem...

How on Earth (sic) did they make a 39m mirror?

"The mirror consists of 798 hexagonal segments, each 5 feet across & 2 inches thick. Another 133 segments are also needed to allow segments to be removed, cleaned & recoated."

Bonkers. Thanks again Helga. 😎

BINGO:

You can TREAT a disability to reduce it's impact. 

You can accommodate a disability to get around it's impact.

You cannot CURE a disability and you cannot reliability prevent a disability.

I prefer to think of us Autists as different rather than disabled.

Examples include Alan Turing, whose work cracking German codes shortened WW2 by literally years. I could list many more - Mozart, Da Vinci, Einstein etc..

Autistic kid: *exists*

Society: Everything you're doing is wrong. Stop it.

Autistic kid: I don't understand. Why?

Society: You should KNOW why. Seriously stop it. All of it. *gestures*

You just described my childhood and life with C-PTSD. Replace "society" with "parents" and it's even more accurate. 🤯😯

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Also - Atlas 3i: Why is it green? Nobody knows. Real image plus AI version below.

JWST studies reveal the comet’s odd chemistry: high CO₂, traces of nickel and cyanogen, but no dicarbon (C₂)—the usual source of green glow—leaving scientists puzzled and without answers.

What is something, that as of yet, science has no explanation for

I'll state one.
Example; Magnetoreception

Oumuamua. Why did it accelerate? What is it?

Easy one. 42 init. 😁

You are looking at one of the craziest space images ever.
That's an active geyser...

on ANOTHER MOON...
about 1.272 billion km from us...

Wait, what? Bonkers shot again Helga. 🤯 Any details? Who took the pic, nerdy stuff like that? 😁

All the autistic people on here joking around about their autism things makes me realize that I have some autistic traits but also I have adhd so maybe it’s that but I dunno. Like, I have a lot of sensory issues and mild echolalia and I have a very keen interest in spelling and stuff like that.

My ND diagnosis journey started aged 45 with a free online AQ50 quiz, as per the link below. Have a go, it's quite revealing. ♥️

A galaxy seen face-on, with a slightly elliptical disc that appears to have a hole in the centre like a doughnut. In the hole, the core is a brightly glowing point that shines light out beyond the edge of the disc. Around the hole is an inner ring of dust, and at the galaxy’s edge is a thicker outer ring of dust, with a swirling web of dust strands in between. Blue stars and red nebulae are visible behind the dust.

Spiral, elliptical or neither? 🤔

The latest image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features a hard-to-categorise galaxy, NGC 2775. It has features of both elliptical and spiral galaxies – so what type is it?

Elliptical *and* spiral? New galaxy type, obviously... 😁

Real book. Not kidding. 🫢

Need more suggestions 🙏🙏

A book written in an alien language which when eventually translated means "How to serve man".

Twist ending: It's a cookbook.
