Apparently Google will now let you change your email address without losing access to your account AND while keeping the old address as an alias for the new one, which needless to say is a gamechanger for me personally.

Sometimes you're reading a book that decides to violently smack you in the face with the fact that it was written by a straight man in the late 2000s.

Superb video included in today's JPL update for #PerseveranceRover (www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-p...). With synthetic frames and obviously, the rover doesn't move that fast, but the final result is impressive.

@postoctobrist.bsky.social So someone in a server I'm in linked this... you now have an asteroid named for you, it seems.

Proud to see the first paper (out in @agu.org JGRPlanets) from Dr. Campbell, the postdoc @sguzewich.bsky.social and I mentor. She did a spectacular job explaining the source of the odd dust activity (called the B-storm) during Mars's SH summer. #planetaryscience #Mars 🪐🧪🔭

Went grocery shopping this morning and discovered that they're now selling Kawartha Lakes ice cream in half-litre containers so I think we can say that today has been a tremendous success.

RIP V3cam 2025–2025 😔

What will happen first: The opening of the Eglinton Crosstown or the CSA announcing the name of their lunar rover?

Station maps might be getting updated, but everyone knows that the allegedly imminent openings of Lines 5 and 6 won't be official until the TTC adds them to their slow zones map.

Abstracts submitted to LPSC 2026 are required to comply with White House (non-legally binding) executive orders forbidding mention of topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

At least USRA/LPI isn't hiding it.

But is this what our community wants? Or deserves? I don't think so.

Today's edition: My Google account, somehow? Not sure how that one evaded my attention for this long.

Now freed from purgatory following the end of the shutdown: I got to write about Curiosity celebrating seven Mars years of exploring Gale Crater, highlighting the occasionally overlooked accomplishments of our environmental science team.
