youtu.be/jRvmTjrNn7Q?... RIP to a legend and a treasure. I remember having a dream in 4th grade that Tim Curry had a dressing room in a shed on a hill by my school, and that I came in while he was going through costumes and invited him to come see me in our play. Gutted.

Tried to do lunar norite thin section nails again for SSERVI NESF this week. My stamping polish didn't arrive in time to try the rock texture stamping, unfortunately.

Is it normal to approach every new hobby/home skill with the equivalent of a lab notebook? Am I taking the art out of everything by obsessively tracking parameters and outcomes?

Are you allowed to just not play a goalie because I'm not sure that would have turned out much different?

Dave Kendall, Creator and Host of MTV's 120 Minutes, Has Passed Away — Post-Punk.com. Sad :( I only really got to watch the real show at sleepovers, since we didn't have cable, but it was quite something. The current version on MTV Classic is not the same, but still better than nothing

Does DPS usually have any dancing? Does any meeting have dancing anymore? That is what I miss most from the LPSCs of years gone by. We need more opportunities to dance.

I love working and watching 120 minutes on MTV Classic and pretending I'm 19 again but this time with cable.

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

Watching the Norway game on Telemundo was a delight. I will never be able to watch Haaland without hearing 'Terminator!' in my head

The only benefit of Germany being out is that my heart isn't being taxed as much and I can mostly enjoy the drama from an objective perspective.

If my ELS shopping spree doesn't help me recover my French competency, it may lead to me taking up smoking and contemplating the futility of existence.

A full-page editorial tribute to the Tartan Army in today’s Boston Globe. Rarely has one country’s inhabitants done their homeland so proud. 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #NoScotlandNoParty

Dear
Tartan Army,
You came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.
For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years.
Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.
Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes, and the memories. The World Cup will move on.
So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city.

World Cup weekend celebration dinner, Käsespätzle or try to turn ground beef and grains somehow into an approximation of haggis? I think today has to be option one, the latter seems like it needs a bit more advanced planning🇩🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Couldn't make myself wait. Here is my first prototype with polish totally not designed for stamping. I think the colors will work, if I start with a blue base coat and manage to either get a stamping black or just improve my skills to get the texture.

I'm so fished in. I went from having three bottles of nail polish. Black, dark blue, and a way to scratchy black with large glitter chunks that looked like chrondrules. Now I've bought a giant assortment to try to paint my nails to look like lunar samples in thin section. May start with rainbows.

Way too many bottles of sparkly nail polish in boxes.

Please read down the thread for great resources on what is being attempted, why it's terrible for science, and how to provide effective public comments. And then make some time this weekend to write in a public comment! 🔭🧪🚀

Mercury's Tears nail polish is certified MASCS data approved. I need to get a better photo tomorrow, with a printed version of these color composites.

Anyone in the DMV, the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's current production of the Tempest is absolutely fantastic. I've seen it many times, but this one took my breath away. The set, the staging, the acting...perfection. It transports you to a magical world.

I am happy that I got to spend time with Candy Hansen on Clipper and get to know her at least a little bit. News of her passing hit like a truck. RIP to a kind, brilliant, generous soul.

In Candy Hansen's passing we lost a giant in planetary science. She was one of those driving forces, always open to every one, pushing everything in the right direction. I dedicate my recent work push for the planetarypy package to her memory. She'd be happy that one now can do this:

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

I LOVE amusement park rides, and being flung around, but already maybe 15 years ago I noticed that my older inner ear did not tolerate it like I used to at 20. These astronauts are close to my age, how are they not barfing 24/7
