Our book reading of "I am a Marble!" will be with mom before our final goodbye at funeral home. Mom would have been proud her grandchild wrote this and we will bury the first printed copy with her. 😭

NASA’s Juno mission saw particles accelerated by Jupiter’s powerful magnetic field to near the speed of light.

The findings may unlock a 100-year-old mystery about even faster particles reaching Earth from distant supernovas. 🔎⚡

@newscientist 😂 Wrote a winning short story years ago called "The Blue Son" about an adopted octopus and there he is!

[New Scientist @newscientist]

A mysterious little blue octopus discovered nearly 6,000 feet beneath the waters of the Galápagos Islands has officially been identified as a brand-new species. About the size of a golf ball, the tiny creature, now named Microeledone galapagensis, stunned researchers during a deep-sea expedition.

Japan has 4M+ vending machines, called jihanki.

In Tokyo they’re everywhere, but the interesting ones are weirdly hard to find.

So I made Jihanki Atlas, a map where people can discover, submit, and help verify Tokyo vending machines.

Current favorites: Pokémon plushies, sriracha sauce, wagyu beef, edible insects, fresh-squeezed orange juice.

What’s the coolest one you’ve seen?

It's more than a hobby—it's a national obsession. From playground trades to high-stakes lotteries, Japan's 3D bubble sticker craze is bringing families together and creating a massive new market.

@NHKWORLD_News Remember collecting stickers while growing up, but kids now collect digital things in @Roblox these days!
