My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

Tom Lehrer has put all his songs online (including lyrics & sheet music), and given away all rights to them. The site will only be up for a limited time. This is a very niche tweet that will make a small segment of people very happy. tomlehrersongs.com

Climate change is not something that’s happening to us. It’s something that’s being done to us.
Huge props to for letting me say “climate change is caused by fossil fuels” on air multiple times.
You’d be surprised at how rarely it happens.

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero @EdwardTufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing @NASAWebb image.

After hearing about Vonnegut’s life, and seeing John Irving in the documentary it occurred to me that Kurt Vonnegut could be a character in a John Irving novel.
But not vice versa.

People often assume there is a natural connection between capitalism and democracy. Sometimes the two concepts are virtually fused together.
I always find this odd, because I value democracy. But there is nothing democratic about capitalism. 🧵

When it comes to storytelling, the point of grammar is to clarify the author's intent, not to be grammatically correct.
