Quick reminder for those complaining about the Black Hole being blurry that this was the best we had of Pluto in the 90s.
And this is what we have now.

"Do you play an instrument?"
"Yes, the Fluke 87-V, thought I've been considering branching out to a classic 45."
For some people, gender is something they are.
For other people, gender is something they do.
Neither of these is right or wrong, and I love that people are starting to acknowledge that.
there are a number of jokes about a (presumably drunk) person talking to a police officer and saying "ossifer" instead of officer. It occurs to me that this is actually a proper formation from classical roots; ossifer could mean "bone-bearer", which would make it an appropriate term to call any vertebrate.
been trying to get going and actually clean things up for about six hours now and it's not working
the black hole picture, like most astronomical breakthroughs (that is, breakthroughs in in astronomy, not breakthroughs of astronomical magnitude), is simultaneously amazing to think about and really underwhelming to look at

I've told my own students how programming conventions are about appreciating reading code and not about making it easier to write, and my frustration at CS curriculum that "doesn't teach you how to read, yet grades you on your poetry" https://twitter.com/leftoblique/status/1114951714807791616
apparently the composer Erik Satie (famous for his Gymnopedies) wrote a piece of music called Vexations that has, at the beginning, instructions on how best to prepare oneself to play the piece 840 times in a row. Nowhere is there any actual indication that anyone would ever want to do this, but the instructions are there just in case anyone does.
