Bees sleep 5–8 hours a day, sometimes inside flowers, and they often rest together while gently holding each other's feet. Nature is full of amazing little wonders.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

I am begging for a Hollywood movie or TV writer to make something that features realistic 'artificial intelligence'
A four panel meme, featuring John Connor talking to The Terminator, from Terminator 2 

John: Wait a second, you’re saying you’re from the future?

Terminator: Great question! Thanks so much for asking. Let’s think about the answer…hmm! The current year is 1983. Working backwards logically, I’m from the year 1965, which is 300 years in the future. Anything else you’d like to know?

John - stares blankly

Terminator: I’m sorry, I can see that was not the right answer. I actually came from the year 829392 AD, which is 10 years in the past from this year, which is 3

@taylorotwell.bsky.social I spent half my day figuring out why Laravel kept throwing exceptions that it couldn't find my custom Markdown components in my email template. I learned the hard way that you must add a text-only version of each component as well.

Woah, `ref` as a function is secretly so powerful. No more `undefined` checks and useEffects just to add some document event listeners. Handle everything with a function in-line 👍
Cleanup functions for refs 

We now support returning a cleanup function from ref callbacks

My most used #reactjs components are Box, VBox, and HBox. There are three simple wrappers for CSS FlexBox, which makes my code super readable. The idea was stolen from Adobe Flex (if anyone still remembers that 🤣)
