It will never not stupefy me that there exist people who sincerely, with some combined action of their heads & hearts, think that the number of Palestinian dead just sort of stopped at 30K for months, or who doubt even that number, who don't know how bombs or building collapse or starvation work.

I offered a little rebuttal to the viral article claiming "No one buys books" (and dove into some of the math and stats of book sales) countercraft.substack.com/p/yes-people...

They've done it! Voyager 1 is talking to NASA again. After 5 months of absolutely heroic efforts from the JPL team, they isolated a single faulty memory chip in one of the onboard computers. The coding workaround sounds both cunning and devious, and it's worked. 🥳🧪🔭
