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

@darth Welcome back Darth!

I hope that everyone has a peaceful night.

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

Is there anything better than a purring cat on your lap? I didn't think so. #Caturday

#Caturday summit on distribution of rodent resources and mutual strategies for dealing with the red dot.

@Digital_Archivist goals for my next house (which I will design and build just as soon as I become a multi-millionaire)

Good Night. The grandest home library is a space that embodies the love for literature and learning, a place where one can get lost in the pages of books, surrounded by knowledge, and a feeling of peace and calm. It's a haven for the mind and a retreat from the chaos of the world.

The library's grandeur can be felt from the moment one enters, with walls lined from floor to ceiling with books, organized by genre, author, or even color, adding a touch of artistry to the room. The shelves are made of sturdy, beautiful wood, carefully crafted to hold the weight of knowledge. The room's lighting is soft and warm, providing the perfect atmosphere for reading, studying, or just being.

In the center of the room, there is a magnificent reading table, complete with comfortable armchairs and a beautiful lamp. This table is the perfect place to enjoy a good book, or to sit and contemplate the vast array of knowledge that surrounds you.

The room is not just about books, however. The grandest home library is also about the memories and experiences that are created within its walls. The sound of pages turning, the rustling of paper, the scent of old books and leather-bound journals. These sensory experiences come together to create an atmosphere of comfort and inspiration that is unmatched by anything else.

The grandest home library is a masterpiece of the human intellect, a celebration of the power of books&the knowledge they contain, and a testament to the beauty of learning #books

Since the pandemic started, it’s been difficult for authors to promote their books, especially if they are debut novelists. In this post-pandemic world, you must be trending on social media or be an instant bestseller. There are so many great books being published that it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. So I decided to create a list of at least 23 debut novels that should be on your radar this year!⁠
