i might actually like this portrait-mode shot of the Somerville Powderhouse better than the one at the top of the thread, shows more bands of #aurora colors in the sky

this one might have the most variations of #aurora colors, got some good reds and purples in addition to the green

i worked on robot soccer and we went from Sony Aibo robot dogs (which could actually do teamwork, passing, and run different plays for different situations two decades ago) to humanoid robots which have to be diligently followed around by grad students to catch them if they fall over

Did you know? NIN stands for "Not In Network".

Their gritty, industrial sound is meant to evoke the unsettling discomfort of contemplating "when & where might I get tragically injured in the upcoming year?" during open enrollment season.

TIL that Minnesota has two state constitutions, because the state Democratic & Republican Parties hated each other so much that they drafted & ratified two separate, nearly identical, versions & sent *both* to the US Congress for approval.

A truly Minnesotan level of passive-aggressive pettiness.
