New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Had a wild experience with a waiter today. We just asked him where he was from because he had an interesting name and he went on a bizarre rant about organized crime, the irs, Charlie Kirk, vaccines and guns. Like every Fox News conspiracy rolled into one. Did not expect that. Check please.

This book is perfect for dia de muertos and Halloween cooking and it tells really interesting stories about the people behind the recipes. I’ve been wanting it for a while so happy to have it.

I found this post it note in my backyard. The wind or a bird dropped it. And I have wonder, did Scott know?

A dirty crumpled up yellow post it note with a date that you can only read 2-9-? And the handwritten words, “Scott I love you! Mama (I think it says Mama could be Maria)

I think a lot about how songs like “Darling Nikki” by Prince will inevitably be on the playlists at the retirement homes of my generation.

Flying is stressful. If my pilot was dressed like a cat or friendly bear it would calm my nerves. Or really any flying creatures would be great. Sugar glider maybe? Side note, republicans are desperate babies who don’t know how to have fun.
