Looking forward to a few hours from now when my Pizzamas app will once again magically spring to life and make me spend money. 😂

Can’t wait to see @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social in Brooklyn on 9/22! I drew a little something in honor of the occasion. #hollywoodending #johngreen #nerdfighteria
2026, JL.  Drawn in Procreate, no AI used.  Image is a cartoon drawing based on the cover of John Green’s new book, Hollywood, Ending - available for preorder now!  John is standing in the water and throwing pages in the air.  A sun sets behind him.

World’s biggest dark matter detector spots a single weird particle

I always feel so excited when I manage to see one of John Green’s threads before it gets deleted. It’s like catching a glimpse of a snow leopard in the wild.

The problem with anthropomorphizing your eggplant is that it gets awkward when you start picking all its babies.

@gilead.com "justifies excluding countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Argentina by classifying them as 'upper middle-income countries'. HIV advocates dispute this justification, partly because people in these countries played a key role in clinical trials to test these medications."

I have a bug bite on the boniest part of my ankle. Of course it itches terribly, but I have to wonder about the mosquito that looked at all the capillaries in my foot and said, “Nah, that big bone looks good. Imma get me some of that.” I bet the other mosquitos laugh at her behind her back.

Welp. I’m about to do this year’s garden, and I have come to the conclusion that I clearly can not be trusted. Not because I can’t garden, but because I want ALL of the plants. All of them. I have, like, 10 grow bags for 10 acres’ worth of vegetables, y’all.

Last (theoretical) white hole question, promise. Assuming that white holes are the polar opposites of black holes, and if space gets twisted into a single infinitely dense point with a black hole, does that mean space emerges infinitely from a non-point (everywhere) with a white one?

J.L. @orbiting-wombat.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Is there a random astrophysicist out there that can give me some insight on white holes? (I realize they’re theoretical.) Are they true opposites of a black hole? If gravity increases the closer you get to a black hole, does the gravity from a white hole increase the further away you get? 1/2
