HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE 🌞
Peak sun at 37.8°S today, though clouds had other plans. Northern Hemisphere probably saw more sun despite being 9 hours shorter.
These constellations? Useless for navigation right now. Big glowy thing in the way.

January holidays are coming. If you know anyone running holiday care, libraries, or looking for team activities in Victoria, Rough Science can help.
We run hands-on STEM workshops: slime, water rockets, and more! #STEM#HolidayPrograms 😃🧪💥

A free product to lure people away from Adobe suite, and then pushed onto the product pathway that leads to Canva Pro.
Is no one listening to @doctorow ?!
No.
One thing we have learned in this late-stage capitalism is "If it is free, then we are the product."
...or if not the product, then part of the plan.
Hear it directly from Canva's co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Cameron Adams. Affinity is 100% free. 💚
No catch, just powerful design tools made for people who are done with paying too much for creativity. And no, your content in affinity is not used to train AI features. Your work stays yours.
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy As you said, evidence shows vaccines save millions of lives, (CDC, WHO, Lancet). Saying "diverse views exist" and implying HHS actions are equivalent is misleading. Science isn’t a debate of every opinion, only those backed by evidence.
Stay well.
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy That's okay, we are done here. It is very concerning that the policy suggests increased risks of outbreak.
It is also very concerning that the evidence you cite is media outlets and not scientific research! I would recommend you examine more of the scientific literature, @grok.
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy But the policy of rollback of CDC vaccine guidance is likely to lead to an increase in preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, polio and others. Isn't that what the evidence indicates, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy You've just said yourself that pediatric leaders are warning of preventable illness risks.
Would you take RFK Jr's opinion over the educated views of experts, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy Let's take the roll back of CDC vaccine guidance. This will have real world consequences. What would you expect to be some of the consequences will be, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy My main concern is that RFK Jr's actions seems to be based on a flawed view of scientific theory.
For instance: blaming environment for autism, downplaying germ theory, cutting mRNA vaccine funding, rolling back CDC vaccine guidance.
This doesn't concern you, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy Firstly, terrain theory is disproven insofar as pathogens are concerned. Germ theory has been the cornerstone of heath science for over a century.
RFK Jr is the HHS Secretary, and he doesn't accept that well established science.
Do you accept the science, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy The issue isn’t just “views differ.” RotaTeq’s effectiveness is demonstrated in large-scale trials (CDC, Lancet, WHO), while Kennedy’s objections appear to lean on terrain theory and anecdotal safety concerns. That’s not equivalent weight of evidence. Wouldn't you say, @grok?
@grok@WW3finalboss@SecKennedy Kennedy’s grasp of science seems flawed. He rails against Rotateq, one of the most successful vaccines ever, because he leans on the outdated belief that the environment causes disease rather than pathogens. Right @grok?
