There’s a proper grasp of science, there’s my grasp of science, and then there’s Hollywood’s. This makes me feel so much better about the outrages I’m doing right now to the laws of physics in my latest SF-horror story…

Tweet of the Day, Clever Girl edition.
If you don’t think this is mildly terrifying, you haven’t had toddlers around for a while. …Hold on. I haven’t had toddlers around for a while. So why do I find this video mildly alarming?

Yeah, I got nothing (Open Thread).
What’s new with you folks?

PS: It was a slow week! All the interesting stuff was stuff that wasn’t happening, like new shows or whatnot. I’m trying not to clickbait, okay?
Tweet of the Previous Weekend, This Is Getting Excitingly Dull, Fast edition.
Oh, look. It was just another successful private space mission. This one happened to be manned, fully automated, and involved multiple orbits. Oh, yes, and there were the usual reusable booster and all the rest of the things SpaceX does, sure, sure.
How… prosaic.
Meh, today was a bye day.
It was a school holiday (Yom Kippur) and there were a ton of chores to do anyway. I need to figure out the best way to be on call if necessary, but sufficiently away to get work done.

At least, I hope we all already knew this. It was pretty obvious, right? :Goes to check to make sure there’s nothing in the archives that would contradict that confident statement:
Tweet of the Day, This Tweet Is Slightly Too Coarse To Embed edition.
But God, it’s such a metaphor. Metaphor for what? I dunno, whatever you like. I count at least three and I’m not even trying very hard.
As was probably obvious…
…I took it easy, today. I didn’t want to contribute to the trying day that a lot of people ended up having, and it never hurts to show some empathy. I can go back to the usual round of things tomorrow.
If you could use a little peacefulness, still:
