When at long last spacecraft Voyager 1 exited our solar system, Canadian singer-songwriter @ian_foster was inspired to write "Voyager," a song about faith in ourselves and faith in science.

Since the calendar was released, some people already complained that we scheduled the student art show for Tevet 13, simply because it's "25 December" on their Pope Gregory Calendar.
Know that we care but simply cannot accommodate EVERYONE's #holidays.

Re: the cake thing. I think it’s a ESH situation. She should not have asked what he wanted if she was going to ignore it; he could have handled it just as honestly, but with more grace and kindness.
NASA comments on the Voyager 2 pointing error for its communications antenna. NASA anticipates self-correction on October 15, but in the meantime, there are no comms links possible.
I used to live in the mountains with no street address. Mail went to the post office and we picked it up, but there was no box number. The post master just knew who we were, and who everyone was.
It caused NO END of problems. Sometimes I miss rural living but I don’t miss that.
I just love this figure of Colorado River water usage from the @nytclimate today. I want a poster of it. Water law is animal law, at least in the West.
I think an underemphasized mechanism of empathy loss in average people who became concentration camp guards is that the conditions in concentration camps made people disgusting. They had constant diarrheal diseases, didn’t have resources to clean themselves & then lost the energy

Never double down on dumb 💩 you say, folks.
Woman 1 in a shop (to a woman who has a new baby in a pram): Hello! How are you?
Woman 2: Ok. Thank you.
Woman 1: Have you lost the baby weight yet?
Woman 2: I'm not going to answer that question and please don't ask it to anyone again.
This first winter I lived in CA we had 4feet dump at once (I lived in the mountains). I was snowed in for 4 days. It was not the SoCal experience I had expected.
Looks like we might get a repeat.
My 97 meter drive executed successfully! I think I will never NOT be slightly nervous sequencing rover activities.
Yesterday we had a monster day-6 arm backbones and a complicated drive with a sand scuff. Should be an exciting bunch of science!
#DearTeachers,
Tomorrow some of your Christian students may be observing the Christian holiday of Yom Saint Valentine Ha’Kadosh, more commonly known as Christian Tu B’Av.
It is one of their important religious ‘Feast Days’ that even the least frum observe.
