These are green keel-bellied lizards (Gastropholis prasina) enjoying a sprinkling in their enclosure. These particular lizards are described as "Tiffany Blue", the result of an "axanthic" mutation that blocks their normal yellow pigment, revealing the underlying blue pigment. Also: MLEM.

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

Margaret Hamilton is rightly remembered for her work programming the flight computers for Apollo. But she should also be remembered for her work on early weather prediction software, which informed the realization that weather is chaotic and the limits to predicting it. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

I know the fault of the closing of the Academy of Natural Sciences lies with Drexel University but I called to complain to the Mayor anyway. If I learn of something more useful to do I'll let you know. Her office number is (215) 686-2181 Saving the museum would be great PR for her (she needs it).

Your Moment of Zen: Martin Gregus Jr. captured this polar bear swimming alongside a pod of beluga whales on drone footage in the Arctic. Polar bears are occasional predators of belugas (ambush at airholes), but they know they can easily outrun the bear in open water. (📷: mywildlive on IG)

A four-panel comic featuring a small black cat sitting in a soft, dreamy landscape beneath a blue sky. As the panels progress, the cat’s expression changes from calm to increasingly wide-eyed. The text across the panels reads: “I wish your August is full of the things that make you happy.” The final panel shows the cat with enormous, sparkling eyes, adding a sweet and hopeful feeling to the message. The artwork has a gentle, textured, hand-drawn style with pastel blue, green, and pink tones in the background.

July 30, 762 CE: The founding of Baghdad. The date and topography of the city were determined by astrologers & architects hired by the Abbasid caliph Al-Mansur, thus the city itself has a horoscope (such a Leo). 🌟 Read Ali Olomi’s essay on this (edited by myself and Stephanie Wong for Public Books).

The city testifies to the vast intellectual curiosity of medieval Muslims, and the splendor they translated from astrology into their designs.

There is news I do not like to share. RIP Sam Neill. The New Zealand actor has had a prodigious career, notably in sci-fi. How could one forget his role in Event Horizon (1997)? But also Bicentennial Man (1999), Thor: Ragnarok, the Jurassic Park series, or his appearance in Invasion (AppleTV).

Be like Charles Schulz.
Letter from Charles M Schulz to a young Joel Lipton in 1970: “Dear Joel, I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz.”
