Day 6: reversal
Time to switch things up. Play about with roles, have them change their minds, even make them heroes. Have fun at #riddlebirdweek with all the possibilities. Maybe Penguin is reverse parking the duckmobile or perhaps Riddler's puzzles are all backwards. Be topsy-turvy.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

Absolute Batman presents new ideas for #riddlebirdweek by reinventing all the origin stories. How might their lives be different if Bruce was a childhood friend and they weren't focused on fighting the Bat? Would a shared history have made a deeper bond or forged a relationship neither want to risk?

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

Why not try something new for #riddlebirdweek? It could be using a different version or trialing a skill you've not tried before. Have you always wanted to try your hand at drawing? Wondered if you could make a stop motion video? Had a writing idea you've been unsure about? This is your sign to try.

From Arkham Asylum to Shadow, these games gave unexpected depth to the characters. Edward turned from a hopeful youth to an obsessed man. Penguin's ambition carried him through gambling dens into the weapons trade. Age may not have smoothed their edges but maybe they fit together for #riddlebirdweek

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.
