The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming home! It will be available on digital July 21 and on 4K Ultra HD August 25.

One of the most memorable scenes in the history of cinema. RIP Sam Neill

For everyone who needs a bit of beauty and peace today.

🔥New Night Science Podcast episode! We talked with PhD students & postdocs about finding ideas in art museums, making sketches, transferring concepts, going to unrelated seminars, swimming, hiking, talking in pubs and letting ideas lie fallow like in a crop rotation system.

For those experiencing extremely hot weather - here's a cooling memory of the Empire State Building on a foggy evening.

Loved this one and would often quote it, especially when I could see someone reacting to something that was said with that same look of "Beeeeeep". (It does not compute and is illogical.)

Please support reading & content that actually engages your brain. "Reality TV" isn't, re-makes of successful programs instead of creating new ideas, propaganda without substance, etc. are all lazy and unacceptable. Reading for depth, information & critical reasoning skills are worth saving.

Sun Microsystems and others scheduled to buy Seahawks for a record ~$9.6B. They'll have to divest interest in 49ers. 🏈 $$$$$ Hands off approach to let Hawks be Hawks will be winning formula.

Reading opens the mind and imagination. It is vital on many levels for any age. The pleasure of discussing reading is an added benefit and increases engagement.

R's use very simple, repetitive slogans to lull the susistible masses. If Democrats simply said they believe in; "We win, you win versus they win, you lose."

Always insightful and brilliant.

At just 16 years old, Bohlale Mphahlele invented a safety earring designed to help protect women and girls. Disguised as jewelry, it includes a camera, GPS tracking, and an emergency alert system that can discreetly send the wearer’s location to trusted contacts. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

This is from Portland, Oregon but hey-from sea to shining sea. Let freedom ring. Celebrate and support the ongoing dream of a true democracy in the US. (This 250th but especially on election day.)

Happy Canada Day to our wonderful neighbors to the North. 🇨🇦🫎

You never forget your roots.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

A favorite scene...these sweet knittings are so odd, interesting and accurate. May the Force be with you.

Summer study in yellow.

Nothing else to say.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists develop a new treatment that can remove Alzheimer’s plaque in just 1 hour Researchers have created supramolecular nanoparticles that act as the medicine itself, directly targeting and clearing the toxic plaques linked to Alzheimer’s disease. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oc...

Yes, it does. 🤨 #jokesters

Child care workers shouldn't be paid at a lower rate than Uber drivers. It's time to pay our child care workers a fair and livable wage.

Researchers have tracked the electrical crackle of individual brain cells in real time during unscripted conversations, capturing how sentences are built before a single word is spoken go.nature.com/4uOEKii

A soundless evening. Occasionally one hears the rustle of the wind through the trees or birds calling to one another to say goodnight. These are the blessings of summer. These are the silent blessings of a world worth preserving.

The Obama Presidential Center opened to the public on Juneteeth after a star-studded dedication ceremony the day before. NPR takes you inside the towering, 8-story museum.

Barack and Michelle reminded us today of what leadership in this nation truly looks like. What an incredible day for Chicago and for Illinois as we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

Beautiful. Recently saw a self portrait of the artist. What a great perspective.

Where do ideas come from? We founded the Night Science Institute with the mission of training in the creative scientific process every early-career scientist in the world. Help us to spread the word with this clip! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c1V... @nightsciencepod.bsky.social

Of course they were, because it's science. And he should have been President. How different things may have been.

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Brilliant!

Taller than Niagara.

Another great documentary by "Quest" Love about this truly iconic and amazing band. EWF - The inspiring sound of multiple generations. Totally recommend.

The majority of our country, those who truly support and believe in the aspirational goals of our democracy, will always be proud of this President and his family. We need to ensure we get there again. Happy President Obama Recognition Day. Happy Flag Day 🇺🇲

Interesting study. However, I would add that an actual, physical book allows easier access to going back, turning the pages to re-read certain complex passages (mostly character names & relationships in comics but all stories). Much more difficult, less fun on a device. Visit your local bookstore.

"It’s energizing to see this broad and clear response from the scientific community to a proposal that stands to disrupt the federal science research apparatus,” writes UCS President @gretchentg.bsky.social about the fight against the new OMB proposed rule.

Interesting article about truth, rationalization, coping and ultimately doing the right thing.

The President’s budget request for FY27 is part of the Trump Administration’s ongoing assault on science and has ramifications far beyond harming federal programs and their workforce. Science Network’s Frank Schwing breaks it down in his blog:

Imagine if all the addicted gym or manosphere folks volunteered at a community garden or neighborhood clean up projects or food banks or child cares or habitat for humanity or something where you're doing squats and lifts and upper body work but helping others vs paying to replicate work. Cool world

A useful infographic about the 2026 Super El Nino Actually not yet confirmed as the strongest ever, but this looks increasingly likely according to modelling An unprecedented 3C+ sea-surface temperature anomaly is certainly on the cards To say this is not good news would be an understatement

A trust fund that helps to finance Social Security benefits is expected to run out of money in less than seven years — unless Congress acts to patch the system before that. n.pr/4fATttc
