In case you need to learn something today, there are questions and occasionally answers 🤔 (The answer to the most urgent question listed: the Wikipedia-provided equation for orbital decay is correct, and the Earth will collide with the Sun in 105 sextillion years 😅)
Hot Network Questions
* Why doesn't Bullseye suffer from adamantium poisoning like Wolverine does?
* Proof of Lieb's permanent dominance conjecture for all Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices of rank at most 4
* Is Anarchy, State, and Utopia a joke?
* Do You Recognize The...?
* Why are there different formulas for orbital decay times via gravitational radiation? And, which one is correct?
*Is the assumption of a global (priviledged) inertial frame a practically necessary assumption to apply Newton's laws?
* In beamforming, is it true that antenna spacing of half wavelength causes "mirror image" of the desired beam?
* gzip and file permissions
* Objective reality in Descartes
* Why TeX does not print error for hyphenchar when \language is changed?

Eating like the rich folks today 😋 Had to buy vegan hot dogs, sport peppers, a white onion, and relish, but now that I have the ingredients, I've got a few more Chicago dog meals in my future 🤤

Milkman Dan: By the way, what holiday is this, anyway? can never seem to keep track of them all.
Guy with pipe: You're joking, right?
Milkman Dan: Nope. No clue.

Panel 3:

With alt text:
A poem is never finished. Only abandoned. Once I've read a poem out loud a hundred times, revised it to death, and have no portal back in- that's when it's time to workshop it and collect thoughts and comments, then put it on hold for a few months or a year. Sometimes, you need that time away to come back to it. But trust that the poem knows when it's time to live on its own. If you feel it's ready to give away, trust that intuition. A poem is much like a child--being overbearing can poison it.

Last 3-show run of my Fringe production of This Body, This Fruit starts tonight 👀 Friday 8:30 pm Saturday 10:00 pm Sunday 7:00 pm minnesotafringe.org/shows/2026/t...
Flyer with showtimesReviews from audience members:
*Add poetry & spoken word to your Fringe experience*
Creativity 5; Production Value 5; Interest (subjective) 5
While an hour of poetry might not sound like your cup of tea on the surface (it really wasn't mine before this experience), take a risk on Davi's show! Her show was a last minute add and we are so glad we went: engaging, educational, emotional. It was truly an hour of art.

*A deeply raw and personal story*
Davi Gray has a great talent for poetry. The strong prose and amazing on-stage performance make This Body, This Fruit a very powerful piece of art. One moment you're laughing at the invention of the word "unpussied" and the next you feel the weight of everything the world does to bring the trans community down. This Body, This Fruit is an extremely raw and personal story that knows how to tug at your heartstrings just right. I cannot recommend it enough.Photo of Davi Gray in rainbow dress and wigPhoto of Davi Gray in magenta bob and a black button-down shirt (unbuttoned) over black camisole shapewear

Small poem of mine, "Morning Song," from the extraordinary limited-edition art object Dada Duende Record Club Volume Six: Chanson (still some available at www.dadaduenderecordclub.com/thecinnamons...) #smallpoemsunday
Morning Song (by Davi Gray)

One morning in the middle of July
the grass was wet with night's breath,
air soaked in early sun.
Outside my window thirty-two small
birds-light brown streaked with dark-
hopped and dipped among the blades,
beaking up breakfast from the dirt.
Grass tips shone with points
of white light like a concert
crowd lifting up flames in praise
of the birds' whistling chorus and the sun
with its long slow morning song.

South Korea came up with "One a Day Banana" packaging, where bananas are packed based on when they'll ripen so they don't all ripen at the same time. It's a brilliant way to cut down food waste while making grab-and-go snacks even easier.
