![4-panel comic. (1) [Two people in a room with bed and nightstand. One person points at something on ceiling.] PERSON 1 with short hair on top of head: What’s that device? PERSON 2 with ponytail: Part of the supernova early warning system. There hasn’t been a Milky Way supernova in over a century. Astronomers don’t want to miss the next one. (2) [Person 2 sits on bed.] PERSON 2: 20 years ago, we set up a supernova alert system using neutrino detectors. It should give us a few hours’ advance notice. (3) PERSON 2: If it ever goes off, every astronomer on Earth will scramble to point their equipment at the sky. PERSON 1: Oh, Ok. So is that a detector? Or some kind of telescope? (4) PERSON 2 [leaving]: Fireworks launcher. I *refuse* to sleep through a supernova. PERSON 1: I think I’ll spend the night at my place instead.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreieib3sjwqtdeaedpuit6ewx4mm56j3nzcvfqpwbtzifnvsvtp6rde@jpeg)

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

America is the only country that has ever called for help from NATO. NATO answered, thosuands of allied troops fought and hundreds died.
Every time he belittles this, global fury at this guy and the nation that elected him grows. Americans will not be forgiven.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

This is a beautiful place called Castle Crag in Northern California. An old train stop for people going across the Rockies and to the Western Coast. No trains come here anymore, but the people who seek beauty still do.

It’s hard being human sometimes, but then there are moments to remind you of your place in the universe when you can share in joy and wonder and humility. So thankful for this experience and my Cornish neighbours who shared pictures and texted me to come outside! #northernlights #bucketlistathomeb
