I did not realize football helmet communication gets shut off if the president gets up to go to the bathroom.

In 2 billion years our sun will burn out. Meaning that California will have to finish the High Speed Rail in the dark.

Whoa- this is the most fantastic pedagogical tool I’ve encountered in as long as I can remember (which is a helluva high bar, considering who I live with).

I’m so excited to have my 6yo play with it! And you all should too.

"I'd be the greatest women's basketball coach in history. I don't like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. But, I'd go up to LeBron James...I'd say, 'LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what I'd love you to do is star on my team."

J.R. Smith says retirement has made him realize how much money he’s wasted:

“Half the sh*t I bought in the last 10 years, I barely use. I pretty much wear the same golf outfits every day. Even the watches… I don't go anywhere to wear them. I think, why did I spend all this money on stuff that I don't really use? But not only that, I don't really care about. I had 7 cars at one point, in Cleveland. I’m like, ‘Why did I have 7 cars?’”

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

In case you missed it, here’s a raw from “The Fall of Icarus”

It was captured in monochrome due to the narrow bandpass needed to get atmospheric details on the sun

I can’t describe the feeling the moment I saw this on the screen.

[Alex Wennerberg @alex_wennerberg]

on a flight with good internet and it totally messes with the vibe. flight time should not be phone time. it should be a moment of silence where you contemplate your human vulnerability. i realize like all good moralists i am being hypocritical

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME

he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.

then projects them onto his ceiling in real time

when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination

pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible

but he didn't stop at planes

it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time

so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO

there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter

vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software
