Toasting Marshmallows xkcd.com/3270/
Comic. [Two people toasting marshmallows over fire.] PERSON 1: At least we finally determined the board’s actual thermal limit. PERSON 2 with shoulder-length hair: Yeah. You know, we probably shouldn’t eat these. [caption] Engineering tip: Keep sticks and marshmallows around to make failures look intentional.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

The Internet Roadtrip is now trying to cross Labrador. A 100-foot gap in Street View coverage almost forced them to turn back, but as they approached the break, someone got a friend in Labrador City to drive to the spot IRL and take and upload a panoramic photo to fix it. neal.fun/internet-roa...

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.

Really appreciated this conversation with Matt Galloway of the CBC. We got to talk about tuberculosis, the implications of defunding USAID, and the future of the disease in a world where human health is not being prioritized. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Mallow loves going out in the snow. Even though she's obviously cold, she doesn't want to go back inside.
