Absolutely fangirling over this concept... are randomized trip destinations a thing anywhere in Europe (or even Germany)? https://t.co/ETB36ZpEnq

@attyarr What do you mean by 'survived'? 😁 It's good stuff. 🔥

My son has set the house up with a Pi-Hole. It’s a raspberry pi running Ad blocking on the whole house’s network.

We’re a few hours in and we’re seeing effects, as well as some teething problems.

In early 1828, Webster's first wife died. Goodridge decided to shoot her shot, and presented Webster with a very special portrait miniature, titled Beauty Revealed.

TIL Edeka has its own top-level domain. Why. 😂
They don't even use it for their customer-facing websites, only stuff like https://t.co/CfZIuNImg4

@ashleyruba @MetaQuestVR I used to worry about adding extra semesters/years to my degree(s), but I'm not just a degree, I am a full person with an entire 🌈spectrum🌈 of experiences that make me better at what I do.
Nobody's called me out on taking breaks yet and they've gotten me to some awesome places.

@AcademicChatter As a non-native speaker of English who's worked as an academic editor in English, asking authors to "get a native speaker to help" makes my skin crawl. 😕
It's prejudice grown from xenophobia and a huge factor in why 'foreigners' struggle to find work.

Ever get blasted in the face by how tiny your particular hobby community is?
Me and my 11,000 friends enjoy playing rhythm games (🎵Stepmania) on an L-TEK dance mat and I suddenly feel like the biggest nerd to set foot onto the internet.

Finally, some good use of AI. A thoroughly enjoyable thread. 😁

I had a whale of a time yesterday preparing a little talk for my old flame, @ICPS_Mx, organized (and run remotely😢) this year by the wonderful 🇲🇽Mexican physics students of @IAPS_physics.
Thanks for all the effort, team!🎇

Patiently waiting for audience questions while Barbara Terhal explains we still don't have quantum computers at the quantum #ESOF2022 session. 🍿

Found a great bacronym in the list of new COST actions... can't believe I thought astronomers have the best ones. 😅
If you need it spelled out: PROGRAMINMG 😭😂
