Saoirse is in an afterschool program, and today she excitedly told me all about the SMART test for evaluating the credibility of information (source, motivation, author, review, two-sources). I can think of a lot of adults who would benefit from this class designed for 4th and 5th graders.

Yes, you need to check your voter registration. Yes, vote.gov will do that for you through the EAC. 🚨 NO. Do NOT use VoteSafe[.]org 🚨 It belongs to Elon Musk & Itty will absolutely hoover up your personal data from ip address to links you click & more. Musk's American PAC is funding that site.

The problem with people is, there's a god shaped hole in our heads where we want Something Important to live, and we insist on filling it with *something*, which might be god or king or astrology or jumped-up autocorrect.

I keep repeating this fun fact to people while they stare at me with feigned interest: “helicopter” is a compound word, but probably not in the way you think! it’s made up of “helico” as in, “spiral,” from the Greek “helix” and “pter” as in “wing,” like in pterodactyl!!

Tell me a fun fact.

It's National Be Late for Something Day. So, let's be late... with relativity! Go soar through the observable universe near the speed of light... and see how much time has passed at your destination. Oops, are you a bit late? #ScienceHoliday testtubegames.com/veloctinspac...
