I assume this happened because the Dow is now below $50,000

Found another at Albertsons thankfully!

Article is about my black hole research, but behind a paywall or you’ve gotta find a paper copy.

In other news, do you know how hard it is to find a paper copy of a paper there days? We managed to grab the only one at Barnes and Noble but one or two more copies would be nice 🤔

Check out the front page today for our local paper, Eugene’s own Register-Guard!!! 🤩

Well yes but dark humor is still humor

I will say, MAGA got it right here. They told me if I voted for Kamala we’d have war in Iran. Well I did vote for Kamala, and we have war in Iran. 🙃

I live in Oregon so can almost guarantee we won’t see this due to cloud cover. But the one nice advantage about the final month of a twin pregnancy is I’ll be up anyway at some point in the wee hours so don’t need to set an alarm just in case

It’s… the final countdown!

One month out from identical twins. Two more weeks of class to get through. 🥴

Let’s just say, having done both kinds, twin pregnancy is an entirely different beast than singleton pregnancy. Genuinely excited for newborn stage so I get my body back.

I mean it’s pretty obvious the man has no attention span for anything more. Remember when we attacked Venezuela a month ago and then the admin stopped paying attention and moved onto other things?

I wonder what the bogeyman will be next month…

IDK I got one once where I realized their chi squared analysis was wrong (plus other problems), so rejected it! Naturally, unfortunately, it showed up in another journal a few months later…

But my understanding about the exoplanet field is you guys probably lead the curve on this phenomenon 😜

Let’s just say I suppose imitation is a form of flattery?! 😵‍💫

Vaguebooking, but one thing I’ve never stopped being surprised at is how many scientists devote careers to publishing shitty papers. Like, trivial or incremental things, taking another’s data set w a slightly different spin, etc.

Just seems a dumb way to spend your precious time on this planet. 🔭🧪

There was a hot minute last August where Google let Gemini auto fill answers on Canvas until they intervened.

Whenever I’m in London I go to Stanfords, the world’s largest travel and map shop! www.stanfords.co.uk

Cool! I used to live on Lewis Rd, so probably closer to your last place. Good luck w the move!

Pretty sure I walked there many a time when we lived there. Thanks for posting, I’ve been nostalgic for the snow and wondering how the old neighborhood was doing!

(Where to next?)

Belmont?

Hah yes I’ve gotten my best Nintendo patterns for cross stitch from the pixel art community 😁

The original was made for @scibry.bsky.social when I finished my PhD bc there was no way I ever would have happened wout him. Plus he made the first radio images in the series himself so I knew he’d appreciate it.

I’m told it’s still hanging in his office if you want to see the original!

Evolution over 25 years of SN 1987A at 9 GHZ, showing it growing bigger and w more details over time

Detail of SN 1987A w scale and beam size (resolution)

Happy s39th birthday to SN 1987A- the closest to us since the invention of the telescope! 🥳

Always a good excuse to share my cross stitch evolution over time in radio of SN1987A. Everything is to the correct scale etc bc cross stitch is the original pixel art.

The Tripod trilogy by John Christopher

Found a blast of formative nostalgic childhood sci-fi so I’m rereading them. Hail the Tripod!

Btw, am I now very behind on this project? Yes. Am I also third trimester pregnant so thus impress myself whenever I manage to do anything? Also yes.

Enjoy!

YouTube video by Astronomer here! Solar System Lecture: Gas Giant Atmospheres

NEW solar system lecture, about the atmospheres of gas giants! Come learn about what they're made of, what the storms are like, and all sorts of other cool things! 🔭🧪🎢

He was already a science adviser to the first Trump administration

I think it just speaks to ppl’s wish that there’s a plan in chaos, because they don’t want to face that no one’s got a plan even if the plan’s terrible.

Like, a less extreme version of “the gov’t is behind 9/11/ Sandy Hook” etc, better someone’s got a plan than such bad things can truly happen

This is such a weird question for me as someone who just came to work to finalize slides for my class on upcoming space telescopes while over breakfast my husband kept sharing his excitement in how much power our new solar panels are generating and if it’ll be enough to charge the car today

Oh man all I’m gonna say then is wait until you get to 5 👀

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
