I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Every word of this is excellent. Pluto-is-a-planet fans haven't moved beyond fifth grade science in the same way as sex/gender-is-a-binary folks.

Watching The Hunt for Red October in memory of Sam Neill, and uhhh, are we going to talk about how much 1990s Scott Glenn as sub captain Mancuso looks like Roy Scheider as Nathan Bridger??? I'd forgotten how uncanny the resemblance is. @wskrs.bsky.social

TAKE THIS COURSE Y'ALL. I'd say about 80% of what I present in a typical Planetarium show, I learned from Dr. Brown!! (still wishing I could teach like him! He's extremely good at what he does!)

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Saw Project Hail Mary again!! Amaze amaze amaze. need blu-ray asap. My one quibble remains: "Ryland Grace" is in no way the name of a white dude. So I'm imagining John Boyega or Chiwetel Ejiofor in the role and salivating. (Gosling did great and prolly the film isn't made w/o him, but STILL.)

Please enjoy this thread’s story about a series of reshoots to the seaQuest DSV premiere, and how they add up to the “Stark holds a goblet” scene we all cherish
Frame from the seaQuest DSV premiere episode, To Be or Not to Be. Rogue Captain Marilyn Stark (Shelley Hack) clutches a goblet tossed to her by an amoral corporate sponsor in a room with decadent furnishings and Rasta goons. The set and prop design were left over from an earlier draft where Stark was sponsored by a pirate.

AAAAAAAAA STILL CANT QUITE BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING
Screen shot of NASA's online tool for tracking the Artemis II mission. The spacecraft's path is a heavy blue line forming a figure 8 with the Moon inside the closest loop. The Orion capsule is close to moving behind the Moon from the perspective of Earth, which space nerds call LOS. Humans have not flown this far from Earth ever, and this close to the Moon for over 50 years!!! I have chills.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

So endlessly grateful to @wskrs.bsky.social for obtaining AND sharing NEW SEAQUEST CONTENT!!! I think I might need a cigarette after reading it...and season 3 isn't even my jam! (absolutely crushed that we never got to witness Michael York performing that.)

Chapter 1 is SO CLOSE. Been writing snippets of Chapter 3 today (in between grading Micro HW) rather than finishing it (oops). (the Muse gives me what she gives me). Chapter 2 is going to be realllllly hard (visiting my beloved in Chaodai captivity). Pray for me...
