This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
It's about 1 km tall.
If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.
I only recently learned they use different strengths of dilating drops at the eye doctor. They told me people with blue eyes dilate if you wave the bottle at them, but they have to absolutely nuke my brown eyes. Also don't ever let the retina specialist dilate only one eye. That was a nightmare.
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
I just started a Stargate rewatch and watched Emancipation tonight, and oof, it's just as bad as Code of Honor. I kind of dozed off in the middle and didn't bother backing up for the part that I missed. I'll just move on.
For some reason, my brain decided I should dream about painting the logo on an ice rink, so I had to Google it
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Thank you for your humanitarian service. I have now eliminated that stupid dot.

Cc @busterbnyc.bsky.social Just something happy for your feed.
Here's a quick animation of this AM's total lunar eclipse, with one shot every five minutes through the Dwarf Mini through partial phases up to totality when clouds shut down the show:
Reminded again today that the healthcare system in the United States is completely awful and is designed to squeeze every last dollar from a patient, with little or no regard for the patient's well-being. 🧵
Everything is pretty terrible in the world actually and I have no pets, but here's a feel-good story about a dog.

TESS confirms what we saw with Kepler and K2 - on average, ***every single small red star has a planet around it***! And a short-period one at that (<30 days).
And you know what the galaxy is mostly made of?
Small red stars.
PLANETS. PLANETS EVERYWHERE!!!
Happy weekend pondering that, everyone.
TOS:
The Bitch Trap
Where No Bitch Has Gone Before
And I'm particularly proud of the rhyming substitution for this one:
That Bitch Survives
I love DST! I like having more light in the evening and not wasting it on 4:30AM sunrises in summer. But I don't want it year round. There was one year when I was a kid that we stayed on DST all year, and it was awful getting on the school bus in the dark all winter. Changing twice a year is good!
A couple of TOS classics:
The Bitch Within
Spock's Bitches
And from VOY:
Macrobitch
I just watched Starfleet Academy episode 8, The Life of the Stars. What a beautiful episode. I was nearly in tears.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
I grew up on TOS reruns and to paraphrase a quote, Spock has been and always shall be my favorite character in all of Trek. I admire and identify with Spock of every era, but he truly shines in the original cast films. He is so comfortable in his own skin by then.
This rules.
This is fantastic.

On the other hand, I've learned so much about curling over the last week I feel like I could do it. (I could not. But my friends and I are planning to go to a learn-to-curl clinic sometime.)
I also love how the snowboarding instead of a quadruple axel they call it in degrees. That was a 1620! By the time I calculate how many rotations that is, they've gone on to the next trick. I'd be okay with it if it was at least in radians.
