This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Timeline cleanse time.

Gotta stay gorgeous #birds

Some rare and remarkable processes are taking place this week, that we are not likely to observe for a long time! These 2 Atlantic hurricanes are closer than any since at least the 1960s. They are now connected - in each other’s orbit, pivoting. Follow along 1/

Hot off the presses FAA shutdown guidance confirms rumors that the agency has moved to protect some ATC functions in the case of a likely govt shutdown later this evening. As seen on @theaircurrent.com’s soon-to-be-released TAC/Intel platform.

This is my 1st time catching my pet archer fish, Legolas, spitting on camera. Archerfish use modified jaw and tongue bones to fire a jet of water to knock down bugs from over hanging vegetation. Here Legolas is shooting down a fruit fly 🪰 🐠🧪

Yikes, well this is a huge bummer! I used to use the Facility for Weather and Climate Assessments (FACTS) repository quite a lot for large ensemble and AMIP data download and processing. More about this: "A Community Resource for Assessing Weather and Climate Variability" (doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...)

Oh. 👀

Wow! The northern lights were out popping tonight in Anchorage, even with a whole bunch of city ambient light

This is a lightning bolt in a storm. On Jupiter.

Look at this posh skrunkleton. Postcard from my collection, 1912. 🎩

A rare "radar" view of a category 5 hurricane - #Humberto No, it's not traditional land based radar. This is super cool. Keeping reading if you want to learn. This is called Synthetic Aperature Radar (SAR) taken from a NOAA satellite of the storm on Saturday night. 1/

"NASA Has Been Implementing the President’s Proposed FY26 Budget Cuts Since Early Summer—In Clear Violation of the Constitution" Appointees & politicians telling you the US will do more and be leaders in human spaceflight with this budget are lying to you. www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

At least we now have in writing that NWS operations will continue in the event of a shutdown. I mean, I was 99% sure that was the case - but in this day and age, I did want to see it confirmed.

WHAT

🎉 Update from me: I've just sent my editor the first draft of my second book, "How to Build a Universe"! ⚛️ ➡️ 🌌 It's probably still about a year from publication, but even just getting this draft together has been a journey. Really looking forward to sharing more with you! #HowToBuildAUniverse 🧪🔭🎢

I wonder if I should write about the experiences I had while in the Navy. Would anyone want to read it.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

The U.S. used to have 400-500 lightning fatalities a year. Globally, we see 24,000 fatalities a year from lightning - many of them occurring at sporting events. Really shameful to see this on Big Noon Kickoff.

ISS astronaut Jonny Kim just shared this snap of Humberto's eye today. You can actually see the seafoam taper off between the eyewall and the eye. Amazing stuff.

JFC The chaos We are boarded on the plane. The flight attendants have done the safety thing. We have left the hanger and are near take off near the runway. A man jumps out of his seat and runs towards the cockpit demanding to be let off the aircraft. This is some wild shit happening right now.

Grilled cheese sandwiches heal pretty much everything.

I sometimes wonder if the people who just let their dogs bark uncontrollably at all hours of the day are actually deaf.

About as bad as it gets. Grad students willing and able to do so should go to other countries.

Vote for shitty people, expect shitty things.
