If I had a nickel for every time someone accidentally replied to the entire 1800+ person listserv with a personal email, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!?

Co-advisor: “So you’re like a general contractor now!?” Me: “Yeah, but I have all these ouchies and boo-boos now 😭”

Just my whole job being dragged by Andy Weir.

Halfway through #LISASymposium2026 and the energy's anything but halved! Brilliant talks and an engaged community. Let's chase them gravitational waves! Here's the crew and energy at midpoint - ready for round two! #lisasymposium2026

New research shows bugs are shrimp instead of shrimp are bugs. Amazing. I need to find this source immediately!

The start of a catholic war against AI was not on my 2026 bucket list.

Listen in on scientists finding (and falling for) a new species of octopus now called Microeledone galapagensis. Read more here www.scientificamerican.com/article/tiny...

Love that instagram just reinvented snapchat

Feeling rich in life because I got a “nice find!” comment from the girlies leaving their 5th floor walk-up while @annahi.bsky.social and I were carrying away a facebook marketplace purchase.

canvas got hacked because it is software. brightspace will never get hacked because it is a malevolent entity trapped inside a web browser by a wizard.

It’s a great book, but sort of idiosyncratic in its approach to general relativity. Maybe not the best place to learn the subject but a worthwhile read. On the other hand, does your favorite GR textbook tackle the really big questions like “Is Middle Earth flat?” (18/n)

NYC is going through a second false Summer today. If I crack and put my air conditioner in, the temperature outside will surely plummet back into the 40s as punishment 🥲

Love Love LOVE that they have a moon model in the Artemis science evaluation room! 🤩 #Artemis II

Waking up to the #Artemis II live stream and delighted to find one of the solar arrays was turned around towards the Moon.

The #Artemis II crew must have just set a "furthest from Earth" record for troubleshooting a Bluetooth device not connecting 😂

Beautiful view of the Homeworld from Artemis II right now...

Scrolling through my follow feed and seeing everyone post their own screen grab is just awesome 🤩

Left the #Artemis II live stream up on my computer last night. Waking up to this view is nothing short of magical.

They fixed the space toilet 🙌

Anyone else really excited about NASA power cycling the space toilet from mission control?

Hey #astrosci scientists, has anyone included a "I did not use AI" disclosure in one of their recent papers? I would like include one in an upcoming work, so I want to see if there is already a standard.

@steampowered.com @valvesoftware.com will games using DLSS 5 be required to disclose AI use on the steam store?

Nvidia CEO: “because they’re wrong” What a tone deaf and ignorant response. I don’t want generative “AI” to touch the media I consume. A game developer using image generation for textures is the same thing as using “DLSS 5” and I won’t buy games that use the technology.

To all those living in New York for the first time: Sorry about the past couple of nice weather days. That was fake spring 1. We’ll have another one or two of them before we really get a good spring going on 🥰

Whoever decided to make an android based tv operating system that 1. takes a long time to boot, and 2. frequently crashes, better watch your back 👊

Anyone have recommendations for books with an unreliable narrators? Fantasy and/or sci-fi preferred, but I’m not genre locked! 📖

Flowers are temporary, 120 skeins of floss and a DMC wooden chest are forever @jakepost.tech took notes ❤️🪡

As someone who consistently grows lettuce from seed, I didn't know the daisy thing, but good heavens, the conditions are always right for lettuce to decide they don't want to be lettuce anymore, & just wanna be pretty, bitter flowers instead.

TIL lettuce is part of the daisy family and grows a stem with flowers if the conditions are right.

Orange man has never had to personally buy a carton of milk in his life. No wonder he thinks it’s a hoax.

They say AI is killing #art. Here's my attempt to kill AI with real art... All of my work is painted traditionally on paper using #watercolors or #gouache.

You’re telling me a bunch of old school democrats voted to end debate without any concessions and NONE of them are up for re-election in their state? Huh. Ol’ Chuck really pulling the wool over our eyes this time 🙄

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

I was only 30 something when I helmed The Enterprise.

Should’ve posted yesterday! In a paper titled “Searching Within Galaxies for the Earliest Signs of Quenching With Spatially Resolved Star Formation Histories in UVCANDELS” we divided star-forming galaxies into bits to see how star formation changed depending on location over the last billion years.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Simply the best early voting sticker around! #nycvotes #earlyvoting #nycmayor

I find the “if he wins, I’ll leave the city” comments very funny, because I just imagine Patrick Bateman saying it.

Update: Updated my firmware per suggestions, and things seem more stable! However, my USB devices are acting a bit wacky. Reinstalling drivers seems to have fixed some issues. That being said, I'm probably one more dead-end issue away from just switching to Linux and living happy.
