ME: "what is the rockies magic number 2025"

GOOGLE:
"The Rockies' magic number for the 2025 season is currently 20, according to MLB.com. This means that the Rockies have 20 wins and losses remaining in the season to clinch the division title."

Brilliant. One-third of the homepage equivalent of A1 above-the-fold real estate is about boiling an egg, cuddling a loved one, and keeping up with the Kardashians.

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.

I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

This week, Ann has a very special New to You guest — the celebrated, prolific poet Billy Collins! If you think he’s here to recommend a book of poetry, think again. Billy’s reading taste contains multitudes, and all you science buffs out there will love what his latest favorite title is.

Richard Panek, BFF of LWON, wrote a book about the Webb, the JWST, the thing that let us see those pillars of creation. That's a pretty damn big subject, how did he know what to leave out? why include what he did? As you'd expect, Richard has answers. www.lastwordonnothing.com/2024/11/08/c...
