this may be the pinnacle of my science communication career

How to make a cephalopod. (With cartoony drawings)
1. Remove limbs. (Smiling human with dotted lines at shoulders and hips)
2. Attach to lips. (Human with flat mouth expression, just head and torso. Arms and legs are floating above with arrows pointing from them to lips)
3. See? It works. (Smiling human cephalopod with arms and legs around mouth. Drawing of an octopus shows anatomical similarity.)

Especially if you're otherwise allergic to solar things, Regulus is so nice! Solar things tend to feel like someone has come past and picked up my rock and poked me out with a stick LOL

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

“‘Yeah I get the picture,’ sighed Vimes. Carcer had been right. Coppers were always outnumbered, so being a copper only worked when people let it work. If they refocused and realized you were just another standard idiot with a pennyworth of metal for a badge you could end up as a smear on the pavement.”

oftentimes social media is just full of poison, but sometimes everyone comes together to say the funniest shit imaginable, and it leaves me devastated with affection for mankind

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade

Old terror crouched in the shadows. It was one of the most ancient terrors, the one that meant that no sooner had mankind learned to walk on two legs than it dropped to its knees. It was the terror of impermanence, the knowledge that all this would pass away, that a beautiful voice or a wonderful figure was something whose arrival you couldn’t control and whose departure you couldn’t delay.

"Ireland thought it could move on from its painful history, that we had left it behind once a workable peace was achieved. We did not know that we would have to keep talking about it, not for ourselves, but for others." 👇 journalofmusic.com/opinion/hist...

What a misguided and terrible ruling from the EU. They just handed people’s rights, privacy and copyrighted works away for free to a US behemoth. This also affects any company whose work is copyright dependent. I thought the EU was better than this. Shame on them. finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-wi...

Your aperiodic reminder that Mercury has a weirdly HUGE core for reasons we do not yet understand. It's less a planet and more a molten ball bearing wrapped in a thin blanket of rock.
