The internet has basically sucked since Brunching Shuttlecocks shut down. What was that, 20 years sgo? @loresjoberg.bsky.social

I realize this is a long shot, but does anyone know if educators can still borrow the NASA lunar petrographic sets? I have lesson plans for my spring classes that use them, but I know a lot of staff and programs were cut. If they still can be borrowed, the web contacts are not correct anymore.

Once a week in my big intro astro class this semester I polled the students with "How y'all doing?" Here are the 15 resulting word clouds. See if you can see the week they conspired to make "bisexual" the biggest word

So Roger Daltrey is now a knight. I guess that means he now has to wear armor and ride on a horse, jousting with Paul McCartney and Elton John?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Mount Erebus, Dec 7, 2000 The next day we flew to Meteorite Hills to setup camp and spend six weeks looking for black rocks on the ice. Cannot believe it has been 25 years. #ANSMET 🔭🧪

Can't decide if I like the lack of an entrance, the MASTER ROKSN, or the BEDROOM 4/Full Bsth 43 (which just has a single sink) best

Well, we all know that skill in collegiate athletics is inversely proportional to excellence in planetary science. :^) #ASUvUoA @markmarley.bsky.social

Why do people write additional posts to correct typos instead of just deleting the original and re-posting it? is there some algorithm that makes such re-done posts less visible?

"Starship" is quite a name for a rocket that can't even escape low-earth orbit. Maybe it's a tribute to the rock band
