I've been having so much fun with this: bending space-time and watching planets collide for my viewing pleasure! Kudos to The (US)NSMTF for putting it together, and to the ever-inspirational @hookean.bsky.social for sharing a link. 🧪 www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/gravity...

also this story contains the sentence "There is no suggestion that Veronika’s skills are evidence of the evolution of an ominous new species of super-cow," surely an early front-runner for sentence of the year

Today is National Thesaurus Day. Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.

this is the stuff if you’ve got a minute

I think this fits in the science field...🧪

Watching Mixtape on RTE, and it's very good - but it's filmed in Dublin though it's based in Sheffield, which is very confusing! They just went to see Sheffield Wednesday play...in Dalymount? They went out for a walk and ended up in Bolands Mills. My head is spinning!

🧪...in addition to deepening our understanding of fundamental physics, CERN has led to the creation of the World Wide Web, PET scanning, major cancer treatment advancements and touchscreen technology. Looking to learning more about this next Thursday... www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/iop-phy...

This is extraordinary. Or it should be. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

My first attempt at a Sag Aloo, courtesy of the very simple recipe recently shared, most generously, by @alomshaha.bsky.social. Thank you!

I can see why Starmer can't come out as strongly as this, but I think he needs to push the International law aspect much more. This action by Trump makes the World a far less safe place for many.

This puts it all very clearly... www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Well that definitely works and that's without points on the electrodes!🧪

To watch friends aging is to watch yourself aging without the veil of denial.

Hard to believe that (just about) in living memory, we've gone from no radio to radio for mass entertainment to TV to multi channel satellite TV and then to the Internet.🧪

It's illegal to call something a sausage if it doesn't contain meat but you can call a sausage a cocktail even if it doesn't contain gin.

One of my favourite Christmas stories.

You know, all those jokes about getting slippers as a present for Christmas miss the fact that slippers are a really good present!

This is the most beautiful Christmas story.

Random memory from the year. I knew my grandmother lived in the US from 1920-1927, and a cousin came across her immigration record from #EllisIsland...

You need the equation of time. Here is a copper printing plate of a watchpaper one from before 1750 that is in my collection. (reversed pic) This is the Julian calendar but you can find lots of watch papers with Gregorian calendar versions. Then you can set your pocket watch by your sundial.

🧪So...today is the shortest day - but not the earliest sunset or earliest sunrise, and I've been trying to figure out why.... www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/latest-...

Hope you all have a lovely 🧪solstice! www.physicsresourcebank.com/post/latest-...

There was one thing that none of my mentors told me about life in a large bookshop.... The pages of 45000+ books slurp a lot of water out of the air 📚 The humidity in here is currently 25%. When the temperature drops, it can get down to 20%. Nobody warned me I'd need gallons of moisturizer 🙄

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful. A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.
