The Boggart is a timeless, underrated Halloween bop. this book taught me about Mendelssohn, hockey, black holes, Cymbeline, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garamond... and it has a trickster spirit, AND fun Halloween costumes? c'mon.

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

Oct 13th - The #hackers discover that the Da Vinci virus was a distraction for a hidden worm designed to steal $25m, and the virus is going to capsize an oil fleet the next day as a distraction for the theft.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a character with braided hair and a sleeveless vest reads a memo on a subway, with the subtitle "Check this out. It's a memo about how they're gonna deal." Second, the same character stands in the subway with a group, one person wearing a bright blue shirt and shiny black pants, while another sits, all with the subtitle "Whoa, whoa. Yo, brain-dead, today is the 13th." Third, the group continues their discussion in the subway, one character is seated and another is standing, with the subtitle "Well, this hasn't happened yet."
