Ah, the time-honoured tradition of beating the passive voice out of student writing.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Hot take: the pivotal senate seat is not Sherrod Brown, it is Lisa Murkowski.

IT'S EBM DAY 24/2 NEVER STOP #musicsky #ebm [thread of EBM bangers commences]

Went out for dinner a couple of hours ago so we wouldn't be tempted to watch SOTU. Just got back and turned on my computer and IT'S STILL GOING??

Hello Bluesky, join us for our first event at Druid City Brewing Company on March 8th at 6:00pm! University of Alabama graduate students Annelia Anderson and Peter Gwartney will be presenting "The Little Red Dot Debate". More info: astronomyontap.org/event/astron...

If anyone is concerned, we're safe and there doesn't seem to have been anything happening here since the initial flood of fire-bombed OXXOs this morning. But the state is under curfew starting at 3pm local. #Guanajuato

This is horrible. Carl was one of the titans of observational stellar halo streams.

We admire your sacrifice.

STScI is opening its doors for a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, science, and community on May 6 at 6 p.m.! The evening will feature an art exhibit of works by local artists inspired by space and astronomy. More information: https://www.facebook.com/share/17HoRP1ZxM/

Today's colloquium speaker "Astroseismology gives us stellar ages that are good to 10%. For astronomy, that's amazing! Most people can't even guess my age to a factor of 2."

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

The thing that truly confuses me, as a professional physicist, is that there were enough people to even make this ethical choice. I cannot imagine when in my life I would have even had the opportunity to say “No Jeffrey, I do not want to go to pedophile island.”

I really enjoyed participating in CCUW+IP (Canadian Conference for Undergraduate Women+ in Physics) this weekend @science.ubc.ca by sitting on a panel and judging posters. It was great to meet so many inspiring young #WomenInPhysics . 🧪⚛️🎢👩‍🔬🔭

I AM ON FIRE; KEEP CLEAR OF ME

Did I convince spouse to watch Heated Rivalry with me? Yes, I did. Did I convince her to like it? Yes, I did. Did we just both ugly cry when Scott Hunter came out in episode 5? Yes, we did. Did I ugly cry so hard I scared the cat and got a giant scratch on my arm? ... Maybe?

Is Tahoe supposed to actually work? The UI has bugs all over the place, selecting wrong menu items (different from where the mouse is hovering), can't drag and drop correctly... I've never seen an OSX release in the wild like this before.

The PWHL official standings is... weird. Each team is listed with W-OTW-OTL-L, but for some reason OTW is a subset of W while OTL is NOT a subset of L. Either would be a defensible choice, but the combination is bizarre! Why not explicitly say regulation wins/losses: RW-OTW-OTL-RL?

A self-described "little farm girl" in the Jim Crow Era, Gladys West's complex and pioneering work for the U.S. Navy helped to improve billions of lives — and keep us from getting lost. n.pr/3YVSGJK

Best point at SGMA meet and greet at AAS: someone at the table said the phrase "Greek flag meme" and it had universal recognition (much to the relief of the person who brought it up, who was worried they would need to describe it).

My laptop just upgraded to Tahoe. Please, dear lord, please tell me there is a way to make everything smaller. The gigantic 18-wheeler-making-a-wide-turn corners on the windows is taking up half my screen.

Well that one was one of those read-over-15-times-before-hitting send emails.

Somehow Cignetti looks slightly disappointed.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to! - Kraftwerk - Suzanne Vega - And One - Green Day - Simon & Garfunkel (bonus: top 3 were all in Berlin)

Spouse arrived home after the weekend away, and the dog has been informing me about it non-stop for 35 minutes in case I hadn't noticed.

Strands claims that yeet isn’t a valid word.

Yes, I am a dual citizen, but when it comes to any Canada-USA hockey game, I will always be cheering for the country of my birth. Go Canada! #IIHFU18Women

One of my favourite things about having all of my CDs on iBroadcast is that I can literally put all the music I own on random play, and it careens around between genres like mad and almost every track is good.
