The NBA mourns the passing of Oscar Schmidt (1958-2026). The Brazilian basketball legend debuted for Brazil at 19 in 1977 and played in every Olympics from 1980 to 1996. Oscar’s the all-time leading scorer in Olympic history with more than 1,000 points and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013. We extend our deepest condolences to the Schmidt family.
Given the terrible flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, @Starlink will donate 1000 terminals to emergency responders and make usage for all terminals in the region free until the region has recovered.
I hope the best for the people of Brazil.
While the Stephen Hawking and God joke was regrettable, the Perth talk earlier this week was highly engaging. You’d be surprised about the significant benefits from a discussion between you @neiltyson and @RTB_HRoss debating the intersection of science and faith.
By the way, thank you @neiltyson for including Imogen on the show. I informed her father, Dan, about your visit to Perth and encouraged him to send you a letter.
