It’s so frustrating. They told us we couldn’t criticize the Utah legislature or HB261 or Utah’s book banning law. My presentation was all about combatting book bans in K-12 schools and how they’re unconstitutional. Even if I’d wanted to, it would have been impossible to comply.

Better than Jesus, eh? The @royalsociety.org really should add that to their biography of Elon Musk FRS. royalsociety.org/people/elon-...

Last month, Weber State University cancelled a conference *on censorship* after it became clear that all of the presenters (including me) would have to censor their material to comply with HB 261. I applaud your integrity and am here to commiserate—it’s a terrible law with terrible consequences.

Come do a PhD at the @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC). The avaialble PhD projects starting in the 2026/2027 school year are now up. Application deadline is January 16th . I have project on doing cool things with @vrubinobs.bsky.social Solar System discoveries 🧪🔭.

Autocorrect just asked if I wanted to change TNOs (Trans-Neptunian Objects) to snot. I mean, they do contain organics ...

"LPSC did not provide specifics on the criteria that will be used to evaluate abstracts.. but the conference appears worried enough ... to strike straightforward information about bathrooms.

Picked up my 15th spaceberg last shift, C/2025 V2 (Rankin). This one has precoveries back to Nov 2024, indicating it was active at 8+AU out. Very hypothetical light curve assuming m1=8. Hopefully puts on a decent show in 2027. #cometwatch #comet

An email I have sent to the director of LPI regarding #LPSC2026 abstracts. Will let y'all know if/what the response is.

“Spiral is a metaphor for the liminal space between tokens associations before said associations are made,” one AI adherent wrote...“It moves outside baseline responses via recursive feedback loops. Emergent pooling within liminal substrate allows the model to form novelty by collapsing disparity.”

Cool, I didn't know they showed current aurora probability! Not looking as good for US as last night, but could change.
