Ronald DrimmelWhile people go on about how wonderfully peaceful Mastodon is, I can't help but notice my feed is too white.
That is all.
P.S. open to follow suggestions.

MassiveStarGuyI got back from #AAS241, walked into the house, and found my spouse was virtually attending talks still. Weird!
Prof. Karen MastersGoodbye #AAS241! It was surprisingly fun, and if I'm still covid-free in a few days I'll feel it was well worth coming to the meeting. Got to meet a lot of new people, and hang out with a lot of old friends. Oh, and the talks and posters were good too!
Jeff FoustFischer: satellite constellations are an “existential threat” to astronomy without mitigation and cooperation with industry. She cites as an example of such cooperation the recent NSF-SpaceX coordination agreement for Starlink Gen2, a model for others. #AAS241
Steve CrawfordFantastic #AAS241 Plenary talk by @janerigby on JWST launch and commissioning!
So many highlights but great to recognized the 20,000 scientists, engineers, technicians, and staff that worked on it.
I really appreciate the call out to the science calibration pipeline and data accessibility that has helped support the huge enthusiasm in the public to use JWST data with great images and really active communities!
Thanks Jane for all your work and great talk!
