We'll be closing the store for the final week of March so I can recover from surgery, which means selling as much as we can now.

Great time to buy something & force me to actually recover from surgery by not working!

(hey I ADDED ALL THE DINOSAURS!)

Astronomer Nevil Maskelyne racked up a £141 alcohol bill during his 18 month expedition to observe the 1761 Transit of Venus.

That’s over £26,000 ($35,000) in today’s money.

Or almost £50 per day.

He claimed it on expenses and would go on the become Astronomer Royal.

Do I know anyone who can translate a (very short) post from Persian for me?

I have an acquaintance in Tehran and I want to send a message of support but I want to make sure I'm understanding his perspective correctly, and I don't entirely trust Google Translate.

Thanks in advance...

Three-panel meme showing a woman speaking and a man listening from behind a wall. In the first panel, she says “Masks don’t work,” and the man replies “Be honest.” In the second, she says “I don’t want to wear one,” and he again says “Be honest.” In the final panel, she says “I just don’t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,” and the man responds, “Thank you.”

This is what it really comes down to.

Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over.

🔹COVID is airborne
🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk
🔹Long COVID has no cure
🔹The pandemic isn’t over
🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others

Stay informed. Stay safe.

I’m still waiting on an answer if Donald is using drones in Iran from the American company where Don Jr. sits on the board that has Pentagon contracts, or the Israeli drone company that Eric just invested in.

Any reporter have enough stones to ask this question?

The biggest single threat to the safety and security of Israel and of Jews globally is not Iran, not Hizbullah, not Hamas. It’s Binyamin Netanyahu. That’s the real menace, and it ought to concern more people of good conscience that he actually DOES have nukes at his disposal.

Most American Jews have center-left policies and most American Jewish organizations that are not explicitly progressive have center-right politics, and this is a big problem. The fact that so many have gotten behind this misbegotten war is really bad!
