Don't worry, the great greenbelt obelisk can't hurt you.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

they’re all just going to get stuck by the Lincoln memorial and have to walk anyway they just don’t know it yet
Today, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope leaves NASA Goddard for the Port of Baltimore to begin its journey to the Kennedy Space Center. This August, Roman will launch into space, broadening our understanding of our solar system & universe. Excited to see it on the move!
And to everyone who is wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. For more, watch:
This is all just a part of a natural cycle, right?

My figures need more ears. That's why it takes me so long to get through peer review.

trying not to be embarrassed about crying in front of all the science managers 😅 but with so much moon joy today I couldn't help it I don't have enough words to say how proud I am of Kiarre, Amber, and Victor. and so happy to have these role models on a historic lunar flight. onward!!

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.
With the Artemis II Live Mission Coverage closed, it lasted 230 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds. It had seventy-eight million views.

Because the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, if you build your habitat on some plot of near-side regolith you can put the little Earth anywhere in the sky you want & it’ll stay there, lazily meandering around just a little as the Moon wobbles in its orbit. A view of Earthset from #Artemis II.
![[alt text from NASA] Earth sets at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, over the Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon. Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by Vavilov, a younger crater superimposed over the older structure. The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:62gdkmpwa7xme36getyqnem3/bafkreihs3j4t6tdr676kxxsq2qkr4eyibwusmqtsjzjh3r4orycnjocaqm)

If you look closely you will see the thin shell of our Atmosphere. All the pollen that ever is or was, is contained in that shell.
2027 PBR just dropped. 🧪🔭🪐 NASA Science gets a 50% cut, again. 40 missions terminated. I don't have anything else to say right now. I knew we'd have it again this year, but we *just* finished winning this fight for the 2026 budget. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

I think each of us in academia knows people in our departments or fields who are horrible people and also know who’s protecting them. These revelations should not be a surprise to any of us.
