Kinematic studies suggest that M57, the Ring Nebula, is actually barrel shaped and that we're looking down one end. octodon.social/media/l7avkBa0Z

Again for those who missed it: the Boston Public Library has a really nifty transcription tool on their site. If you can read cursive, you can help safeguard and digitize the history of slavery (and the abolition of slavery) in the United States.

I have a published copy of a Hitchhiker's radio play script with a foreword by... someone who worked on it? anyway it shared anecdotes about working with Adams, and one of the things that has stuck with me through the years is the description of his writing process.

He wrote on a typewriter, and when he didn't like a thing he'd just written, he tossed the *entire page* and started it over. Sometimes the entire chapter. Because of like, one paragraph or something he just wrote.

I was cleaning up and found a tiny briefcase with some kind of blue crystal inside? No idea what this is or what it's from. Best guess: Somewhere a mouse cleric is missing their holy symbol.

Reminder that Superman 64, just like all other "awful" games, is that way not because it was made by "bad programmers" but because it was managed so poorly. Almost always, a team knows how bad their game is, but they were out of time and/or resources and had to make tradeoffs.

How to evade potentially awkward social situations: shout "the lone ranger rides again!" and run in a random direction

Variation: shout "PARKOUR!" instead
