I'm just trying to get through each day. Thanks for sharing the journey!

“And who were you, before?”
The man responds with great effort, brow crunching. “I was called Larix, a prince of these lands. We were promised…many things, by the wizards of that Tower.” He points to the City, the giants’ lit by the red beacon. “Instead they doomed us.”

Last week IV saline was recalled because it contained fibreglass.

Now it’s being recalled for iron oxide.

The food supply is compromised.

The medical supply is compromised.

When you become dehydrated & sick from poisoned food, you may need IV fluids.

This should enrage you.

@ForestOfWhales @QuietPineTrees Is everyone all right?

[Fireflies @ForestOfWhales]

@QuietPineTrees “We don’t know what’s up there,” you say, taking Feldspar’s hand.
Elegy holds hands with Nerii, who looks nervous. Lai holds Elegy’s bag, while Diz grabs onto both Elegy’s and Nerii’s bags.
You lift off the ground. You’re all drenched with saltwater.

The Moon may not have been born as a swirl of wreckage. It may have been captured almost whole — in about five hours.

For decades the standard story was simple and violent. A Mars-sized world named Theia slammed into the infant Earth. The collision shredded both bodies. A glowing disk of debris circled the wrecked planet, and only later did that disk slowly gather itself into the Moon. Those classic simulations treated the colliding worlds as hot, strengthless fluids. Rock, in that picture, had no memory of being rock.

New models led by Adeene Denton at Southwest Research Institute, with collaborators at the University of Arizona, put the geology back in. Temperature-dependent material strength changes the ending. Hot planets are weak. Cold planets hold together. That single difference can decide whether Theia is annihilated or whether a nearly intact Moon flies out of the collision almost immediately.

When the team ran the same impact parameters as the old models — but with realistic strength and cooler interiors — an intact Moon emerged within about five hours. Heat the bodies up, and the familiar debris disk returns. Because protoplanets start hot and cool as they age, the result is a clock. An intact Moon points to a later, cooler collision. A disk-built Moon points to an earlier, hotter one. That timing may also help explain how much water and other volatiles the Moon kept.

The old puzzle remains: Earth and the Moon are chemically almost twins, while Mars looks like a more distant sibling. One idea is that Theia and proto-Earth grew up in the same neighborhood of the solar nebula. Strength and temperature do not solve that riddle, but they do change what kind of birth the Moon could have had.

Robin Canup, who helped write the original giant-impact papers and was not part of this study, called the result a possible link between the Moon we see today and the thermal state of Earth and Theia at the moment of impact. In other words, the Moon’s body may remember how cold — or how molten — the worlds were when they met.

The simulations used methods developed at the University of Bern and the University of Arizona and appear in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

🦖 66 million years ago, a T. rex named Scotty broke a rib. He survived long enough for it to start healing and incredibly, the network of blood vessels that formed around the injury is still preserved in the fossil today.

NASA has officially lost the Mars Exploration and Ventures Venture (MAVEN) probe 🚀

The mission was designed to study Mars's upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and the planet's interactions with the Sun and solar wind.

The spacecraft orbited the Red Planet for over 11 years and lost contact on December 6, 2025.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Never Forget is more than a vow. It is a call to action — a promise to honor all those lost on September 11th by building a city worthy of their memory.

Today, I was proud to sign two Executive Orders to continue that work. The first establishes September 11th as an Official Day of Remembrance and Service in New York City. The second takes important steps to strengthen our city’s operational and emergency preparedness.

September 11th was the darkest day in our city’s history, but the few glimpses of light came from New Yorkers doing everything they could to help. We will mark this day with the same service towards one another — and by making sure our city is safe, no matter the crisis.

He gave them a passcode that completely wiped his phone. I'd give anything to see the video of the agents face after punching it in 🤣

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

lol the Times tried this hit piece too only for it to turn into what reads as a glowing testimonial for how government communication should look like. Even this dudes bad press is good press. They really have nothing on this guy and it shows.

“I am of both, in a way—I witnessed the giants’ attack, the city consumed. When I looked for a way to reverse these damages, I was caught—first in the dream, and then in the tree.”
The ashes flake off, but the armour, the skin of the man, remains warm, wooden, bark-textured.
