I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

"Don't pass off someone else's work as your own." LOL. LMAO.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Curious about Europa Clipper's observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS? Come hear me talk about them in this @setiinstitute.bsky.social livestream today at 2:30 PT / 5:30 ET! youtube.com/live/cXqwsc2...

LMAO SFWA LOL OMFG

While nature's resilience to natural disasters has long been recognized, not much is known about how organisms colonize brand-new habitats for the first time. A new study led by LPL scientists provides glimpses into a poorly understood process. news.arizona.edu/news/life-la...

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2. www.sfwa.org/complete-neb... This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI

The Planetary Society held nothing back in our efforts to Save NASA Science this year. The results are extraordinary, and we will not slow down next year. Read more in our 2025 Impact Report: planetary.org/about/our-im...

Yes, exactly. Exactly. See the full thread for details and context.

Glorious.

Hey #exoplaneteers - we are hiring a new software developer on the NASA Exoplanet Archive and ExoFOP, to backfill someone who left this year. We've had good success hiring exoplanet folks with strong software skillsets into these positions! phf.tbe.taleo.net/phf03/ats/ca...

WE HAVE A TELESCOPE 🚀 The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been fully assembled here in the cleanroom at NASA Goddard 😀🚀 and is on track to launch next fall!

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

A nice overview from our media folks of the theoretical and observational work our team has out so far on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ☄️

Pretty sure I've left comments like this in my source code…

HiPOD: 100,000 Images of Mars On 7 October 2025, the HiRiSE camera aboard MRO acquired this image of the Syrtis Major plains. This marks over 100,000 HiRISE images of Mars, which is a fabulous milestone! More: https://uahirise.org/ESP_089986_1980 NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars

Literally most nights for me. @dropout.tv and my cat sleeping in my lap.

Added some cool-ass ASCII art to our build system…

From last week's birding trip down to the Wandle delta, a cormorant running across the river as it slowly takes to the air. #birds #birding #wandle #wandsworth

Vibert Douglas fought against gender discrimination in her field, earned an MBE for her war service, was a celebrated astrophysicist and one of the first individuals to receive the Order of Canada. This is her remarkable story. 🧵 1/8

A BBC that doesn’t have room for voices like Robin’s is undeserving of its “national treasure” moniker, and is undeserving of public funding. I hate that it has come to the point where people like me - people who clung to the belief that it was an institution worth defending - have to say that.

*slams fists on table* there was a two for one sale at the fist store

Space artists: don’t forget to submit your work to The Art of Planetary Science exhibition by December 31st! The event is held in Tucson. Anyone can submit—all levels & types of human-made art. I’ll be submitting and attending again. 🐡🔭🧪 More details here: lpl.arizona.edu/art

RPG tip from the archive: If the PCs find a way to circumvent a particularly dangerous threat, let them do so and applaud their ingenuity. #dnd #ttrpg

Great article about NASA's next planetary defense mission. Planetary defense has a lot of interlocking parts, and all the DARTs we can build won't help if we don't have the Rubin Observatories and NEO Surveyors (and their predecessors and successors) to find problem objects before they find us.

Result from today's stream! A bby Diplodocus in 2 hours! In light of the new paper by Tess Gallagher I was really excited to draw a colorful little sauropod! I've studied and compiled knowledge on the Morrison for years so it's always amazing to see big new research! #paleoart #sciart

I just got back from the LPL end-of-year party and let me tell you, the grad skits were fabulous. Really top-notch.

BREAKING - @meassociation.org.uk awards £1.1million - its largest-ever research grant - to Prof @daltmann.bsky.social, Imperial College London, for landmark 3-year study to find shared pathways between #me/cfs and #LongCovid | 10 December 2025: www.imperial.ac.uk/news/article...

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

in other words, KEEP DRAWIN' YER RAINBOW SAUROPODS

Sauropods are animals stranger than fiction, and our study on their melanosomes only makes them more bizarre. This research marks the first evidence of fossil melanosomes in a sauropod, and the first evidence of diverse melanosome morphologies in a scaly dinosaur 24/26

MEPAG folks, sensing an opportunity, furiously start writing a new set of justifications for MSR.

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

(screams myself hoarse) This one is so much. It's SO MUCH, you don't even know!

Some have argued to me strongly that even if Loeb is wrong, he’s getting people interested in 3I/ATLAS and that’s a good thing for science. But Loeb isn't just wrong, he's recklessly following an old playbook that got 39 people killed in 1997. sites.psu.edu/astrowright/...

it intensely angers me every time I open a book PDF in Acrobat and the software reminds me that I’m reading a Long Document and gee, wouldn’t I prefer a summary instead I am not a first grade child who requires the easy-reader version of big kid books, demon machine

sing the song with me: 🎶 that's because AI super sucks, people are better than robots, so with any fuckin luck, AI will die and be left to rot 🎶

God, this is beautiful.
