Tomorrow is July 1, and I want to thank all of my South American coworkers who taught me about Julio memes a few years ago.

“Rogers is no longer afraid that the Canadian government and the Canadian people would reject this as a mass cultural massacre” Prove them wrong. 🇨🇦

I wish as a society we didn’t long for power, & instead aimed to be decent people who care for each other and our world. It’s alluring to see all that money, to be sold the sci fi dreams of our childhoods, the escape, the adventure. Only the worst kind of people use our dreams against us.

Thread on our new paper on arxiv today! We stumbled across a weird sinusoidal systematic that we think appears in every observation from the NIRISS instrument on JWST. We derive a correction and see how much it impacts exoplanet spectra. (1/N) #astro #exoplanets 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2606.11983

Join us on June 25th for JWebbinar 49 - Hands-on Session for Custom #JWST WCS Alignment with JHAT. We'll provide an overview of the JWST/HST Alignment Tool (JHAT): ow.ly/wytP50Z9vIy

This month has been challenging, but we have continued to fight back against attacks on our communities, our rights, and our futures. See what we’ve been up to this month and how you can get involved. autisticadvocacy.org/2026/05/asan...

believe in telling the truth

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Take the challenge - If you dare! #astro #exoplanets

As Baldur Bjarnason writes, under Trump, America "first turned on their trading partners, then their allies in Europe, and then they delivered one of this century’s biggest economic and energy crises to their allies in Asia": www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-old... 9/

Kinda funny that they turned a color photograph into black-and-white for this.

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

It's so weird to grow up in the 80s and 90s, where we were taught unequivocally that all Nazis should get the rope, to be alive now where people try to pretend that that shit is a normal phase for men. Or that a nazi is someone with merely a different opinion. No the fuck it isn't!!!!

Well, isn’t this a sight for sore eyes! 😍 Our beloved Hubble appears in this amazing image from one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites. It was 36 years ago today that Hubble was launched in the bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Credit: Vantor.

Hegseth on dropping the flu vaccine reqt for the military: We will not force you to take it, “because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.” OH REALLY? Replace ‘flu vaccine’ with ‘abortion’ and we’ll see how ‘negotiable’ my body, faith, and convictions are.

If one more app that I have been successfully using with no major complaints for at least a decade incorporates AI I will lose my shit

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

For hunters of rocky worlds: save the date! 🔭 #astrocode We're preparing a Data Challenge modeled after the 2015 Spitzer Exoplanet Data Challenge, this time with MIRI observations from the Rocky Worlds DDT program.

A short essay from @doctorow.pluralistic.net . The title is silly, but the argument is important.

I think I was too nice in the above post. This attitude directly perpetuates toxic attitudes in academia, facilitates widespread abuse of grad students, and it sucks. If you make value judgements on your grad students based on their ability to produce research as "content," you should quit your job.

Fuck Donald Trump.

Good excuse for me to post this again:

Learning about the TRAPPIST-1 system—an environment composed of seven rocky planets orbiting a red dwarf star—has been an ongoing endeavor. And now #NASAWebb is expanding the scientific story in exciting and new ways: https://bit.ly/4kH9X3i

“Everyone thinks universities have to do what donors want because they pay the bills. But that gets it backward, and not just at Hopkins.” I highly recommend reading this piece. www.publicbooks.org/the-misuses-...

MUST READ: The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together 🧪 Importantly, I don’t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

Does GenZ have a movie yet? It seems like there’s long been a consensus that the previous generations were defined by the movies / soundtracks of: Boomers: The Graduate (1967) GenX: Say Anything (1989) Millenials: Garden State (2004) Maybe it’s just too soon?

Man I thought “masked agent of the state calling the woman he murdered a bitch” was the most “heavy-handed feminist novel” reality was gonna get but now we got “rapist president demands woman smile when she asks him about abuse victims”?
