Watching my twenty-something kids fall in love with CDs and vinyl is something else. "I can listen without paying every month?" "Nobody knows what I put on or when?" They're not being nostalgic. They're discovering, for the first time, that a song can belong to you and only you.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Honestly now is a really good time to stop eating red meat. There is just so much cruelty in its production, as well as environmental damage. You don't have to be vegetarian or vegan, but let's maybe just continue to reduce harm wherever we can.

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

Enhanced-color image of Mars showing a vast, ancient landscape. In the upper right you can see the large double-ring Huygens Crater, a prominent circular formation about 470 kilometers wide with a clear inner ring. Around it, the southern highlands are covered with lots of smaller craters. The whole area shows warm tones of red/orange and brown, with hints of blue and purple that highlight differences in dust, sand, and rock across the rough, ancient surface.

Hubble image of Arp 78, also known as NGC 772. The cropped view does not show the galaxy's overdeveloped spiral arm, caused by interactions with a companion, which led to its inclusion in Arp's catalog of peculiar galaxies. Credit: ESA, NASA, A. Seth et al. Source
The central portion of a large, nearly face-on spiral galaxy fills the frame. In the center is a small, bright, yellow-white nucleus. It is surrounded by a mostly featureless yellow oval, made of a haze of older yellow stars. At the edge of the oval, several dust lanes, made of a lacy web of brown filaments, spiral counter-clockwise. Scattered between the filaments, especially in the lower right corner of the frame, are young star clusters, seen as bright blue dots.
