Showy Saturn may get all the attention, but ringed worlds aren't rare. Every gas giant in our solar system has rings! Take in @NASAWebb's ethereal, infrared views of Jupiter and Neptune's dust bands, rings and moons: https://go.nasa.gov/3RXxoGq

@bigzaphod I spent the afternoon hanging out in my safe space with a very unhappy cat for storm after storm. Our severe weather is done now, but I know others aren’t going to be as lucky tonight. Hope you all stay safe.

Do planets beyond our solar system have rings like Saturn?🪐 We have evidence that the answer is yes, and a new study uses 40 years of data to help us understand how we can look for so-called ''exo rings.'' (Yes, please!) http://go.nasa.gov/3G0C8Y4

For months I've been sharing stories of trailblazers who have made game changing contributions, but weren't widely acknowledged. "History" after all, hasn't exactly celebrated people equally.

Today I went back & tagged each post

➡️ #HistoryRemix ⬅️

so you can find them together on #Mastodon.

I hope that everyone can see remarkable people who look like them - pioneers, scientists, writers, musicians, poets, activists and inventors - and recognize all of us are capable of great achievements.

In celebration of #DarwinDay I present for your consideration my candidate for the most highly evolved animal on this planet: the common house #cat (Felis catus). Highly sophisticated and intelligent, it has trained another somewhat evolved species, Homo sapiens, to cater to and care for its every need, allowing most of them to live a carefree lifetime of leisure.

Colin Meloy asked ChatGPT to write a Decemberists song, and then recorded it. "For the record, this is a remarkably mediocre song. I wouldn’t say it’s a terrible song, though it really flirts with terribleness." https://colinmeloy.substack.com/p/i-had-chatgpt-write-a-decemberists
