I know this is very minor in the grand scheme of things but when people confidently say shit like "there are no 70 year old autistic men" or "trans women don't wear flannel" you're just revealing that you dont have any hobbies lol

Seven of the ten newest NASA astronauts are current or ex-military. None have degrees in the social sciences, humanities, or arts.

Es un espectáculo tristísimo ver un país como Estados Unidos desmoronarse de esta forma tan ridícula, liderados por este payaso ignorante y sus seguidores

Looking forward to tomorrow and conversations with two groups of elementary and middle school students about their space archaeology-based First Lego League projects! (I do not understand what FLL is, or how Lego is related to the STEM education part, so I also look forward to learning that.)

The Science Museum in London has opened "Space," its new gallery devoted to the Space Age and the future of space exploration...

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

People. This is a red alert.

On the Life of the Record podcast about Spoon's They Want My Soul, Britt Daniels says Dave Fridman (producer) claims he "can't hear distortion." First, lol. Second, this explains a lot about The Flaming Lips and especially the (canonical) last Sleater-Kinney album. www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect...

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

This shit is bonkers. What a world.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I love learning about mythology

Folks, I'm beginning to worry that TCM doesn't have enough Pre-Code comedies that we haven't yet seen to distract us from The Horrors of Our Present Situation

The people that voted for him are too servile to get mad about it but it is bleakly funny that Trump has won two elections as The Expediter Of White Vengeance and as soon as he gets into office the most important thing to him is getting Rosie O'Donnell digitally edited out of A League Of Their Own.

apparently today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. i learned this because the astronauts (or at least Mike Fincke specifically) on the ISS feed are saying things like "ahoy, we be ready for the next step of that procedure" and drawing out all their ARRRRs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYmv...

*stepping out of a time machine in 2007* I come from the future - the most consequential men in society are the hosts of the Man Show, Fear Factor, and the Apprentice

The FCC also licenses SpaceX,* in case you were wondering what the opposite of regulatory overreach looks like. It seems the "public interest" demands way less actual regulating when you're a billionaire defense contractor. * in a context with far less 1st amendment relevance!!

I've kept my page with just a cv (rarely updated), but I pulled down my work and put it all on Humanities Commons years ago hcommons.org/members/jstp...

I logged onto see Academia.edu had profiled my papers with "Ai audio summaries" that were unauthorized. So I deleted my account. You should, too. #academictwitter #ethics

mfer is literally named "rob tombs", did they summon the spirit of the british museum into an op ed writer

Oh, I am feeling this after this morning's class...

I wrote about the leveling and deranging effects of the Trumpist snitchscape, and the awful content creation imperatives governing this awful moment. defector.com/the-united-s...

Hard to choose between A (Parma), B (Bologna and Rome), C (Naples), and D (Sicily)... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Depsite the ICE raids drawing our focus, we finally completed this year long project @LATACO and on time for Mexican Independence Day. (And for those that argue Los Angeles isn’t in Mexico—it was when it gained its independence from Spain.) check it here, lataco.com/best-mexican...

This would be the equivalent of 20.6 million Americans showing up to an event

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Just spent some time digging through old Maxar/DigitalGlobe blogs to find a reference image and found this incredible capture of Mt Fuji. Incredible. The satellite was only three degrees above the horizon when it captured this image. blog.maxar.com/earth-intell...

Look, I get the Bluesky discourse, honestly. It’s an annoying website full of scolds. But what I think most commentators miss is that it’s also the first website where everyone on it is of the right age to have a close personal relationship with the music of The Hold Steady

These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi. I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?

When folks wonder why we prefer a 42-mile commute to living in Orange County

we’re 20 minutes away from Demanding You Rank Vanderbilt

Love to see my former institution used as an egregious example in my current institution's ethics training

This is attached to a tumblr post but I think about it all the time

Porque comunicar no es cargar con todo, sino dejar un mensaje, "Ciencia de contrabando" un taller virtual para compartir formas amenas de comunicar ciencia. A cargo de @escortalabrocha.bsky.social y @marcelovitores.bsky.social, en el marco de los cursos de extensión de SEUBE/FFyL-UBA.

Today started editing an ms with results from our LA wildfire soil sampling. Now, a meeting about space habitat design. Then a student meeting to discuss the antiquities market, followed by another about a thesis on Manet's Olympia, and a third about ISS. Finally, the agenda for my IAC session. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yuri Gagarin in Crimea towards the end of 1961. I've not seen photos before from the notorious drunken balcony fall, where he acquired the scar over his left eye.

The evening passes Tiangong and the ISS are heading towards a bi-weekly ‘sync up’ this weekend. This means that observers have a rare chance to see all the humans in space at once, on a single pass. This double pass on the evening of the 14th for the eastern U.S. looks to be particularly favorable.

I remember when this thread crashed the site

Yesterday, I started with an AstroAccess development meeting about promoting opportunities for disabled folks in space. Then I dealt with a possible return of an object to Greece. Met a student to discuss a thesis on the art market. Last, gave a guest lecture to space engineers at CU Boulder. 🤷🏻‍♂️

STALKER [1979; dir. Andrei Tarkovsky]

Are you on the job market this year in an area that could be considered data science adjacent (any field/discipline, incl. humanities)? If so, UVA’s school of data science will be hiring for several posts this year—send me a mesg if you’re interested and I can tell you more about the timeline/jobs👍

Somebody in the media, please report what was the course, what was the course description, what was the syllabus, and what was actually taught. I have a feeling something won't fit here.

The joke's on all of you when hockey season starts up again next month
