I was just reading in Mary Roach’s book Fuzz about the use of LaserOp Automatic bird deterrent to protect the Vaticans Easter flowers, and thought the extensive laser safety discussion would make @funranium.bsky.social happy.

I love reading good history/historical analysis, etc, and here's a good piece, worth reading.

America didn’t win WWII through “inferior tech," it won through organization, integration, and strategy, as well as the myth that Nazi Germany’s “exquisite” weapons outclassed the Allies, and critiques how the media keeps misusing history to sound profound. My latest⬇️

Update: Looks like the peeps I know at JPL didn't get fired, but teams have been gutted and the people who are left are going to have to figure out how the hell to do what they do without the necessary staff that are now gone.

I literally just turned in a round of edits to my editor at Bloomsbury for my book about the founding of JPL and the Suicide Squad, and this is painful to see.

JPL has been responsible for some of our most incredible achievements in science, and this is going to set us back.

A massive, hissing pale snake adorned in gaudy golden jewelry on its tail and head. Red feathers decorate its neck Reimagined concepts of the Wizard of Oz characters. Five characters are shown. In the middle is a young girl wearing a white button-up and a blue suspender skirt, holding a gun in one hand and a basket of ammo in the other. Next to her is a Cane Corso dog with a collar that says "Toto." To the left is a tall, knife-wielding man dressed in a ragged, bullet-worn suit and fedora, a crow with a knife in its beak sitting on his shoulder. To the right is a man dressed smartly in a vest and mask, with prosthetic arms and one prosthetic leg, an axe on his belt and a can of gasoline beside him. In the back is a huge male brute in a vest with a bearded face and top-knot, wearing knuckle rings on his fists. A fantastical golden fox with massive furry ears, dressed in a green robe and red loincloth. It wears golden bracelets and necklace. In one hand, it smokes a long exotic pipe, from which a plume of smoke shaped like a fox's tail is formed and serves as the fox's seat. A fantastical reptilian creature that resembles a mix of a tortoise and armadillo. It's very round with a rocky rust-colored hide.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them. Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand). Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background. An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison

I may have found my defining quote.

Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!
From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

Headlights should not be blue. Amber headlights are better for your night vision, as well as that of everyone around you. Blinding oncoming traffic is bad.

Headlights should especially not be TALL and blue.

🧪 Cool subtext to this cool story on the “little red dots’ - possibly primordial black holes! - dotting the early Universe is that the hopes for the James Webb telescope have been realised. It is pulling back the curtain on puzzling and unexpected things that will help us understand how we got here.
A Single, ‘Naked’ Black Hole Rewrites the History of the Universe | Quanta Magazine
The James Webb Space Telescope has found a lonely black hole in the early universe that’s as heavy as 50 million suns. A major discovery, the object confounds theories of the young cosmos.
