I am unavailable because I am playing a computer game that takes up the whole screen.

Look again at this dot.

That’s here. That’s home.
That’s us.

No longer pale, but absolutely glowing.

My book Rad Future is out now! Let’s build the future we all want and deserve together 🩵

Is technology a religion, a godlike system promising salvation and threatening of damnation? Yes, says @gregmepstein. @PublishersWkly talks with Epstein about his new book "Tech Agnostic," God, and the charm of being agnostic. https://t.co/2HkejwSfY4

26 years ago, I was made redundant and given a few grand. I decided that if I was careful, I could live off the money for 6 months trying to become a comedian before I had to get another job. I was 37. Worth a punt.

And there she stood awaiting her mission, standing mighty, proud, and tall. Over 350 feet long, more than six million pounds in mass, and pushing nine million pound-feet of thrust, the Saturn V rocket was a magnificent marvel of power and capability. It remains the only rocket to have transported humans beyond low earth orbit – it was our ride high into the sky. #Apollo11

@MBTA Red line 01731 Braintree/Alewife speakers are far too loud. Please turn the volume down for all of our sakes.

Happy #EarthDay2024
As it's also the anniversary of Apollo 16 - here's a stunning shot from the mission, taken of our home, hanging in the black, lifeless void.

Remastered from the original flight film.

This April, a mesmerizing total solar eclipse will occur along this narrow track. Who's in?

Just in case this wasn't obvious... 😋

The Moon is visible at night (and day) due to sunlight reflecting off its surface. Our position on Earth and the Moon's location in its orbit around our planet determine its phase. 1/

@starstryder Keep up the good work, Pamela. It is much appreciated! Stay curious and creative. The world needs all of what you do and more.

🧵Returning to life

Prior to January 2020, I was traveling about 50% of the time as I presented at conferences and worked to make the world a bit more scientific.

I was sick a lot, but that’s just part of being immune compromised. I wanted to see the world & I did.

[johntweak @johntweak]

@MBTA the speaker of car number 01740 on the red line toward Braintree right now is absurdly loud. Please fix it, for the health of all of our ears.

@DrLanternJack What would Plato and his contemporaries be eating and drinking (besides wine, of course)? I know Book 2 of The Republic gives us some examples, but do you have any others? Thanks! Looking forward to reading this book!

[Lantern Jack @DrLanternJack]

What would y’all like to know about Plato the man, his life and times?

I’ll be interviewing Robin Waterfield next week about his new biography of Plato (the first ever in English)

Your questions are welcome!
