Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

Having read a lot about the Apollo program, I want everyone to understand that getting to the moon and back with alive humans is not trivial. Everyone knows about Apollo 13 but every other Apollo mission had some kind of very close scrape with death (including actual deaths with Apollo 1).

It's pretty wild that we just had no idea what the back side of the moon looked like until the space age. And also wild that only 24 people have seen it with their own eyes, and none in my lifetime.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

The case is sumbitted. The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses. But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3. BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*

In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!

My Wednesday morning hot take is that April 1 is way too late to start street sweeping. It’s a six week cycle so some streets won’t get swept until May 15!

Also: This was the only case left from court's October sitting other than CALLAIS, the VRA case. The only justice who hasn't written a decision from that sitting is Alito. The court tries to distribute cases fairly evenly, so strong odds that Alito is writing for the majority in Callais.

Lmao the reason this leaked was because he wanted to buy IDEF, a totally illiquid BlackRock fund that trades ~$100k a day, instead of ITA which trades hundred of millions, so he had his brokers call up BlackRock and ask for a direct creation under his name. There’s so many layers of stupidity here.

These shots of London (Canada's) new bike infra from NJB's latest video really show what I think is best practice for existing North American arterials - get the bike lane OFF the road, widen the sidewalk to accommodate - smooth asphalt - protected-ish intersections
