Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset. This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.

This was our experience last weekend trying to re-animate a printer that had been disconnected by the house painters.

Want to know more about the women writers who were erased from the history of fairy tale creation? This sounds like a wonderful book and the illustrations look awesome. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/21/t... #books #FairyTales #WomenAuthors

A reminder alert popped up. "Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?" Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course." "Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat." "Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

The start of this article by astronaut Cady Coleman got me nostalgic - I'd forgotten she was only 4 classes behind me. It wasn't until my now-ex-husband was in Ride's NASA selection group that I understood "real people" could be astronauts. www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/24/1...

Build it! Everyone should learn the joy of changing trains at Park Street. This is what peak transit system design looks like. Seattle to San Francisco? Just go Inbound to Park St and change trains to go Outbound to San Francisco! Nothing could be simpler!

This is purely nauseating. I'm furious that Unbound treated *anyone* this way.

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too. But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

I wonder if any arsenic-dyed clothing, wall paper, etc., still exist in old houses or trunks in the attics. This tool could be helpful there, too.

What an awful waste of accomplished soldiers, and what a terrible thing to do to them and to their families.💔

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Secty Collins says the cuts are designed to trim bloat and will have no impact on #veterans’ healthcare or benefits but the agency has already been plunged into crisis. Across the nation, appointments have been cancelled, hospital units closed, the physical safety of patients put at risk.

This is such a good point. Reach out and thank institutions that are doing good things. Everyone is getting hammered right now with negative responses. Show them we care. It can go a long way.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

"Why did you let that princess go?" one dragon asked another. "He told me he's a prince." "Fair enough. He's still dressed-" "He hasn't told his parents yet." "I see. Did you offer to vouch for him?" "Naturally, but I won't out him." "Of course not. Anyway, does he have any sisters?"
