“The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The entirety of Ozymandias is an absolute banger, but… damn… that last line….
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Yeah.

I got nothing.

This is objectively correct.

I lol’d at this FAR harder than I should have.
I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

I thought I had a joke about air travel, but it didn’t get off the ground.
I thought I had a joke about Full Self-Driving but it crashed and burned.

One of the really special things about Sesame Street was always these little art films that were less about teaching a specific thing than they were about instilling a sort of meditative sense of wonder at how the world works.
Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

Two spirals, both alike in dignity,
In fair Virgo where we lay our scene.
From ancient light, new stars take birth,
Where hydrogen gas makes spiral arms gleam.
from forth the cosmic dance of stellar strife
A pair of star-crossed galaxies, dance in the night

An R&J take that came to me seeing this.
Very Large Telescope image of Arp 271, also known as NGC 5426 and NGC 5427.

This pair of interacting galaxies was the final image captured by the VIsible Multi-Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) instrument before it was decommissioned in 2018.

It was sorta like space invaders.

Wow. That was an unexpected memory.
