I do like the whimsy of this petrol station

Outer Space in York, covered in Daleks, there also is a cyberman. And a tardis. Apart from that it’s just a petrol station and a car wash

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

I have to wonder if this is similar to the USN reconsidering the Ford-class CV's island placement because TFG thinks that the older design is better.

🎃Let the countdown to Halloween begin with Myrna Loy...

This classic 1930 Halloween publicity photograph features legendary actress Myrna Loy sitting at a table with cards, a skull, and an ominous jack-o'-lantern shadow projected onto the wall behind her.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

The absolute beauty of the Biden administration was not having to wake up every morning with existential dread that your government was going to destroy the very institutions that made this country a superpower, kept us safe from disease, kept scientific progress going, and economic viability strong

German chemist Dr. Ida Noddack co-discovered Rhenium (element 75) in 1925. She died #OTD in 1978. She was the first to propose the concept of nuclear fission (1934). Her theory was met with fierce skepticism and outright dismissed by contemporary physics giants. But 4 years later...🧵 #WomenInSTEM

A close-up, black-and-white portrait of Dr. Ida Noddack (1896–1978), the pioneering German chemist and physicist who co-discovered the chemical element rhenium and was the first to propose the concept of nuclear fission in 1934. Dr. Noddack is positioned at a slight three-quarter angle while turning her face toward the camera, establishing a direct connection with the viewer. Her light-colored hair is styled neatly, swept up and away from her face in a soft, textured wave arrangement typical of the mid-20th century. Her expression is composed and contemplative, marked by a subtle, knowing half-smile that conveys an aura of quiet confidence, intelligence, and academic resolve. She wears a simple, dark-toned V-neck blouse or jacket, drawing focus directly to her facial features. The portrait is set against a completely dark, minimalist background devoid of any objects or setting context, creating a formal studio aesthetic. The lighting is soft yet deliberate, illuminating the left side of her face to emphasize her expression while casting gentle shadows across her right cheek. The composition relies on high-contrast monochromatic tones and a grainy, vintage texture characteristic of early photographic film, reinforcing its archival and historic nature. The overall mood is dignified and deeply intellectual, honoring her enduring legacy as a foundational pioneer of nuclear and atomic science.

Yes. I'd be impressed by the careers that I've had, degrees I've earned, people that I've worked with, but 20 y/o me would be disappointed that I'm not living in a re-habbed grist mill, making my own wine, with a hippie bus out back. "Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?"
