PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. https://www.accuweather.com/en/leisure-recreation/live-news/weather-permitting-photo-blog/933860

As I work on our inconvenient water situation, I'm keenly aware of just how dire things must be in Ukraine. No utilities in the middle of winter is no laughing matter. Putin and his cronies are utter monsters.

Our Kiwi Prime Minister was caught mumbling under her breath, calling the Right Wing opposition leader an “Arrogant Prick”. Tbh, she’s not wrong, but I’m glad both sides of our Democratic parliament can laugh about it & agree to put the “historic” oopsie towards a good cause 😅👏🏻 #NZpol #JacindaArdern #NewZealand #Politics #humor

“You can find us anywhere you get your podcasts.”

I *adore* this phrase, because it has been like two whole-ass decades and not one single venture capital darling has managed to unseat plain RSS as the distribution method for podcasts. Not one. (And they have really tried!)

Podcasts are just out there, like air. You don’t go to one place to get them; you get them from everywhere and anywhere. You can choose how you want to engage with them and manage them and it is legitimately heartwarming that nothing has ever gotten in the way of that being a fundamental fact.

This is the best of what the web is. It will never have a stock ticker or even a marketing scheme. Most people don’t even know it is there. But it endures (past the many, many attempts by squillionaire corporates to kill it) because of its absolute unshakable utility.

My suggestion: any time you hear “anywhere you get your podcasts”, send a little thanks to RSS for keeping the real web alive.

@arth This is a great explanation of git commands and data flow. I've uploaded the image with an alt-text description.

This strip came out in 1995. What would Calvin’s dad have to say about technology in 2022? 😬🫠 #CalvinandHobbes

I never thought I would have such a collage of images from deep space, who would have thought, because here are 20 photos, a part of all the ones I have captured in my career as an astrophotographer. I hope you like this painting!!

In one of the most incredible #space livestreams I've ever seen in ~20 years of reporting, the #Orion spacecraft captured the #Earth and the #moon from deep space, beyond the equivalent distance of #Apollo13 in 1970.

Beautiful illustration of where people are concentrated.

If you squint, you can see Australia and New Zealand.

I'm still not over this video launch pad view of #Artemis1 from the #rocket POV ... lifting off in the darkness, colorful clouds billowing beneath the huge #SLS rocket as it flies to #space. On to the #moon!
