It's Whitecaps end of season availability just now with Jesper Sørensen & Axel Schuster.
Will have comments in this thread.
Jesper believes the team will be even better next year. Feels they need to learn from the two final defeats and be the team that wins small margins #VWFC

This is not an issue of cropping! They accidentally used the raw plate without VFX that removed the crew. In the proper version you still See John Hamm step back but no crew behind him.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Oh my god, I was unaware my friend Dianna (aka physicsgirl) had improved so much so recently! This video made my heart swell, even as it laid bare just how awful this devastating disease is.
#PhysSky #SciComm Dianna Cowern, AKA [The] Physics Girl, has improved significantly from the worst of her prolonged illness (combo of long COVID & ME/CFS) to the point of posting a video update ⬇️.
Hoping she continues to regain her health.

Phil pours some cold water on the sensational reporting about alien life on another planet 👍
So, did astronomers REALLY find the best evidence yet of alien life on another planet?
I'm gonna go with "no".

No, astronomers almost certainly didn’t find biosignatures of life on another planet.
I’m not even convinced they found the molecules they claim to have found

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Lift a glass (fork?) tonight to the memory of Louis Camille Maillard, who in 1912 described and investigated a chemical reaction, now known as the Maillard Reaction, that is responsible for the tasty brown goodness of seared meat, toasted marshmallows, bread crusts, and a million other yummy things.

every few years I’m reminded that Bluetooth is an eldritch spell drawing down the unifying power of a dead king so that I can hear my little tunes
![Two paragraphs of text from Wikipedia which read “Bluetooth is the Anglicised version of the Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann (or in Old Norse blátǫnn). It was the epithet of King Harald Bluetooth, who united the disparate Danish tribes into a single kingdom; Kardach chose the name to imply that Bluetooth similarly unites communication protocols.[13]
The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes (ᚼ, Hagall) and (ᛒ, Bjarkan), Harald's initials.[14][15]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5xrge4sbb3y3u3eezhymeftk/bafkreihfiko2ywgszrgjg2kk6zubt4b4fbfppfozzdtj56futesapfvjqq@jpeg)
