Kid finds the best youtube channels.
Tonight we have been following a guy's entire villain arc transforming from regular college student to youtuber traveling the world, trying the local signature dishes and turning them into recipes for grilled cheese sandwiches.
"Pappa, I need a grilled cheese sandwich now!"
It was inevitable.

The Internet is buzzing with reports of Mars rover Perseverance finding possible signs of ancient microbial life.
Analysis of the rock named “Cheyava Falls” by Perseverance's instruments indicate chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by microbial life billions of years ago when the area had running water. But non-biological origins cannot be ruled out.
Only bringing the rock back to earth will provide definitive answers.

I just put together the outline for my talk "No, that's not a UFO, it's Starlink" for the IAU general assembly in a couple weeks (I'm giving my talk remotely at stupid-early-o-clock in the morning since the IAU GA is in South Africa).
Just writing the outline made me ragingly angry. I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it through the talk without rage-screaming by the end of it. Maybe the early time is a good thing...

Excellent montage. I'd seen much of it previously but it was good to see it all again. Thanks for sharing.
It was a beautiful launch! 🚀

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA.

@mcnees Odd that Rosalind Franklin wasn't mentioned in any of my science or history classes. 🤔

The Nobel Committee argued that the (again, self-imposed!) rule allowed them to proceed with the 2012 award after an awardee passed away, since they thought he was still alive and their “mistake" was made in good faith.
Imo, that reasoning empowers them to correct bad-faith omissions and missed opportunities of the past, of which there are many.

@mcnees Shame they never came up with a rule about stealing someone else’s research.
Rosalind Franklin should be credited for understanding the structure of DNA, not Watson & Crick.

This is some advanced qbasic development lol

🧵I read this justification from so-called environmental activists against research on climate solutions, and I have thoughts.
No, climate scientists aren’t projecting 2.5°C of warming. This is an opinion poll; just like this article, it’s not scientific. 1/n

Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal
“They’re [Reddit] killing everything for search but Google,” Colin Hayhurst, CEO of the search engine Mojeek told me on a call.
Hayhurst tried contacting Reddit via email when Mojeek noticed it was blocked from crawling the site in early June, but said he has not heard back.

New rule for software design discussions: if your argument for a design includes the words "the unix philosophy", your design is automatically rejected, with no appeal available.
If you mean a specific design goal, say what you mean. "The unix philosophy" has half a dozen definitions, unix never followed any of them religiously at all times, and has become shorthand for "I like this and don't feel like unpacking why".

Says nothing about musk, except the nihillionaires think we'll forget they are trying to coup our country. Coup democracy everywhere.
I do not forget that the racist Musk is using shitter to subvert democracy.

@_L1vY_ I'm sure it had nothing to do with the massive decline in Tesla sales largely attributed to Musk being a Nazi scumbag.
