Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

I have to say, watching this is creeping me out a bit because THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MOON LOOKS LIKE

"lot of folks" = "not a single goddamn person"

Cant get image of Roger Daltrey singing "Hell, reign o'er me" out of my head

omg, wait until Harvard Man gets his hands on these data

From its angled view, GOES-18 also captured the historic launch of Artemis II.

Footage captured from passengers on an airliner above Florida, showing the exact moment the Artemis II mission lifts off.

happy that Artemis 2 launched on the one day a month when the far side of the Moon and the dark side of the Moon are the same thing.

can't wait for the President's post calling his hand-picked justices "Radical Left Lunatics"

Been making this wonderful dish at least twice a year for 35 years now. Thanks @molliekatzen.bsky.social !!

Not to be confused with the "rocky fireball" that dropped meteorites in Ohio coupla weeks ago

The first view of Trump-signed currency

maybe he will then store it all in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

Project Hail Mary, only with the alien from Alien instead of friendly rock crab, would be a very different film.

Stellar Evolution week in AST 112. I say, "Hertzprung! You say, "Russell!" "Hertzprung! "Russell!" "Hertzprung! "Russell!"

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Famously, Democrats are the only people who use airports

Trump has always claimed Mueller exonerated him. I guess his "I'm glad he's dead" post is acknowledgement that this is not true?

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

How many people lost their jobs for expressing even mild criticism of Charlie Kirk when he died?

Tomorrow I’m giving a talk at Arizona State University. If you’re in the area, you’re invited. This is a quick trip, and I’m just now heading to the airport.

people have strong opinions about "movies" and "Oscars" and "Conan O'Briens"

Time to reup my foolproof method for determining pi to as many digits as you want: 1) draw a circle of *exactly* 10cm diameter. 2) use a string to measure the circumference to the desired precision. (May require an atomic force microscope.) 3) divide the circumference (in cm) by 10.

Nice rattler this morning in the McDowell Mountain Preserve

Anyone know what kind of spider this is? Couple of em hanging out at the edge of my pool. Body is maybe 8 mm long.

Ah the magical moment when a magnetar is conceived by sperm neutrinos fertilizing a neutron star egg

Isotopic Evidence for a Cold and Distant Origin of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS by @drcordiner.bsky.social et al. (feat. @javacitrus.bsky.social @megschwamb.bsky.social and @cathomas.bsky.social) JWST measurements of deuterium! Lots of deuterium!

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

Happy Daylight Savings Time Day to all who celebrate, or as it's known here in Arizona, "Now when the fuck is my zoom meeting?" day

NASA: We spent 1B$ to bring back an asteroid sample. Your science is compelling, so here's a million dollars' worth of it. Me: May I have some money to analyze it? NASA: LOL, no

It’s weird how this doesn’t say “oops we accidentally pushed out/incentivized to leave/fired” a lot of engineers and it turns out engineering projects need those.

I drove Ray Charles from a Denver amusement park to his hotel in my mom's Volvo

Ooh, United only wants a million miles or 11k$ so I can get on planes 5 minutes earlier.

A good story for @alexwitze.bsky.social ?

The deliberate murder of American science.

Has Trump declared himself acting president of Iran yet? Is he still running Venezuela like he said?
