COVID taught me a valuable lesson: I don’t believe a G’ddamn thing about public health and safety this administration says. In this case, I do not believe we know the full picture of the Hantavirus situation.

If this administration did know something about it I wouldn’t believe them, unfortunately. We do not have a trustworthy public health agency.

1/2 Ever stood in a field and felt like the Earth is perfectly flat? That’s the intuition behind manifolds. They’re mathematical spaces that look completely ordinary & Euclidean up close — like a straight line or a plane — no matter how curved or wild they are on a larger scale. 🧪🔭⚛️ #histmath

THIS MORNING: McDonald’s workers are on strike due to excessive heat - temps in the kitchen reached 98.2 degrees and management claimed they didn't know how to turn on the air conditioner! The heat gives many of us horrible headaches, and exacerbates symptoms for those of us who have diabetes. 🧵

We’ve been holding McDonald's accountable for over a decade at this location, long before we won even $15 per hour. After the start of the pandemic, this is one of three in LA that launched the strike wave of over 450 stores statewide, resulting in the Fast Food Council and $20 per hour statewide

They keep saying it’s “not about race.” Then why do Black voting districts keep getting dismantled in state after state? There’s a deeper fear driving parts of modern American politics ...and this article goes straight at it. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Last chance! If you've not seen the powerful 'Our Fragile Space' photography exhibition outside the RAS, this weekend is your final opportunity to do so. 📸 Don't miss out, drop by Burlington House to see the free display, which lays bare the problem of space debris and what can be done about it. 🛰️

Artemis. I miss you Mom. Love you.

Trump decided to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. He handed out a no-bid $6.9 million contract to a company that worked on his own pools, using an exemption meant only to prevent “serious injury” to the government. The corruption is off the charts. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

Columba 🕊️ is not a #constellation that overwhelms you at first sight. Columba whispers. Its stars are modest, but in a wide-field photo they add poetry to the southern sky, a celestial bird crossing the night, while the waves of the ocean breathe beneath it.

Clover for good luck …

From Jimmy Kimmel.

If Senile Satan is holding all the cards, how did he bankrupt four casinos?

Took younger daughter (who wants to be a paleontologist) to a lake near Peterborough last night. We found these Jurassic microfossils-teeny ammonites & crinoid ‘ossicles’-these little rock stars were part of the stems of crinoids/sea lilies-animals with 5 axes of symmetry related to sea urchins 🐚

In between the evening rain. 💫

THEN: the people’s house. NOW: casino penthouse.

Jimmy Kimmel is successfully punishing Donald Trump for his ignorance. I think it’s one of the greatest things I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Good Morning

Maybe it's just me, but "What arbitrary naming convention we use for this small orbiting rocky body that is just like many other small, orbiting rocky bodies?" is perhaps the LEAST interesting question you can pose in Astronomy right now. Why waste your time?
