Not all who wander are lost, but I am.

Seriously, where the fu*k am I?

Rocking you like a hurricane sounds like a lot of work; I’d be happy swaying you like a tropical storm.

Finland has been ranked as the happiest country in the world for the sixth consecutive year.

Also, here is a photo of the five leaders of Finland's largest political parties.

Let me serve as a warning to you.

I will add that in order to qualify for a free lunch in NJ (one of the most expensive states to reside) a family of 4 must make less than $36,000.

Shamrocks for my real friends, real rocks for my sham friends.

This happened 4 months ago. They waited 4 months to make it public.

"The agency also reiterates that the leak poses no health risk at this time, but added that the “main potential health risk from this event is the possibility of radiation exposure to the public.”

I guess they say everything is ok so it's ok.

Happy St. Patrick's Day #Sláinte 🇮🇪🍻☘️

I just ate a lot of food and asked myself “why did I eat so much?”. Huh, like she’d tell me.

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors. -Stephen Jay Gould

It has been only a day since I discovered jira from the command line, but my god it has probably already doubled my productivity.

I swore not to do it, so of course I will be doing it.

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.

If you could see in X-rays, one of the brightest things you'd see in the night sky is the Vela pulsar. It was formed when a giant star's core collapsed about 12,000 years ago.

The outer parts of the star shot off into space. Its core collapsed into a neutron star just 20 kilometers in diameter. Today it's spinning around 11.195 times every second. As it whips around, it spews out a jet of charged particles moving at about 70% of the speed of light. These make X-rays and gamma rays.

The Chandra X-ray telescope took a closeup movie of the Vela pulsar! It shows this jet is twisting around:

The most interesting part of all this, to me, are the 'glitches' when the neutron star suddenly spins a bit faster. Let me tell you a bit about this.
