So every once in a while I try AI so that I know what I'm missing out on. I asked the AIs in the Duck Duck Go browser to make me a map showing four different locations and circles of specified radius about one of the locations.

For #spacetober_challenge day 2: galaxy - astronomer Vera Rubin (neé Cooper, ‘28-‘16) & her discovery that angular motion of galaxies deviates from predictions, 1st evidence for dark matter, now known as 5x as common as matter & the stuff which dictates dynamics of galaxies & 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🔭 #histsci

My linocut portrait of astronomer Vera Rubin with short hair, glasses and resting her face in her hand in burgundy on a background of outer space with stars and galaxies in black with blue and pink splotches to mimic how dust bends light in space. At the base of the print is a large spiral galaxy with a plot of orbital velocity versus distance going out from its centre (so the distance axis is indeed distance from centre). There are two lines labelled “observed” which goes up from the origin and then is a pretty flat wavy line all the way across. This line marks the bottom of Rubin. Below it is a wide empty gap of visible white paper down to the second line labelled “predicted”. The Predicted line goes up from the origin to a peak where it diverges from the observed and falls smoothly back down in a gentle curve.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

We had a mirror positioned so that our cat could see her reflection only when she jumped onto a particular chair. Every time she saw her reflection, she'd run to the other side of the wall on which the mirror hung, trying to catch the cat that she saw so clearly through that strange indoor window.

Danish physicist Lene Hau slowed light to 38 mph in 1999 using ultracold sodium atoms & electromagnetically induced transparency. A second "coupling" laser made the atom cloud transparent; light's energy transferred into the atoms' quantum state, dragging its speed down without breaking relativity.

Behold… your #dRAWRtober art prompts! Anyone can participate, in any medium. Do as much or as little as you like! Art tagged #dRAWRtober will be shared on Halloween day for a spooky extravaganza. (New species to assist your artistry are arriving on the site soon!)

An image listing Halloween-themed art prompts. The background of the image is tan with a paper texture. The upper left corner has a string of decorative bunting flags in orange and green. There is a pale starburst decoration in the upper right corner. The top center of this image has a decorative green tag that reads: 2026 Animal Photo Reference Repository #dRAWRtober

Under the text is a cartoony vector of a black bat.

What follows is the prompt list. All prompts are highlighted in alternating orange and green.
The prompts read:

1. Legs! legs! legs!
2. In the deep, deep dark
3. Now you see me…
4. Frankenstein’s Chimera

#ResistanceRoots Dorothy Vaughan was born on this day in 1910 in Kansas City, Mo. She was a mathematician, human computer and computer programmer who became the first African American supervisor at NASA. Throughout her career, she fought for equal pay and advancements and promotions for women. /1

Dorothy Vaughan in 1971, the year she retired from NASA. Vaughan was a visionary pioneer for women in STEM and a foundational architect of the U.S. space program. She broke through the dual barriers of Jim Crow segregation and gender discrimination to alter the course of aerospace history. Her calculations and FORTRAN programming laid the groundwork for America’s early aerospace achievements. By becoming NACA’s first African American supervisor in 1949, Vaughan cracked open doors that had been firmly shut to women of color. She spent her tenure as Section Head fighting for equal pay, promotions and engineering assignments for both Black and white women across the agency. When electronic computers arrived, she taught herself FORTRAN and trained her staff, saving dozens of Black women from layoffs and transitioning them into high-tech careers. Vaughan stands today as a symbol of resilience, intellectual brilliance and the indispensable power of community.

A graphic showing a dark green t-shirt with “friend to creatures” on it with an illustration of creatures around the words. The overall graphic says “shirt restock, Wednesday’s, 9/16, 12 pm ET, sizes s-4x” a frog is wearing the shirt with other froglings around.

I lowkey hate this whole story. - Sword stolen before 1947? We don't know when? - No replacement since then? Just a rock with a sword-blade-shaped hole in it? For 80 years? - Sword too warlike? Asked AI for alternatives, answers all stupid? - Clay model? - Who took these photos?

After decades, Milwaukee Sword in the Stone monument will see its sword replaced

King Arthur’s sword has been missing from the Spirit of Service monument in Juneau Park since at least 1947.
