So excited @rhiannongiddens.bsky.social is coming to speak at BU next month about the African origins of the banjo 🪕 & the long & deep contributions of African Americans to the Old Time music tradition (another case for agnotology); hopefully she will play some of her wonderful music too! 🎻

my BIGGEST flooding pet peeve on full display. DO NOT DRIVE ON FLOODED ROADS. PERIOD. Not for your car's sake I couldn't give a fuck about your car. But every little wake you send out to the roadside could make the 1 or 2 inch difference between someones house getting water inside or not.

What is the IceCube neutrino observatory? Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact, but can create flashes of light when they do. Most neutrino detectors are giant water tanks surrounded by light detectors. IceCube is kilometer-long strings of detectors embedded in the Antarctic ice.

You are looking at the dunes of Endurance Crater, in this approximate true-color panoramic camera image, highlighting the warm reddish and golden dust present there. The dunes show sinuous sand formations that extend to heights of less than a meter.
Fine ripples texture the slopes, and the nearest sand in the foreground looks granular and close.
