A weather model of the continental United States showing a classic Miller-B snowstorm formation hitting New England on Wed. Dec. 03. Hovering over a portion of Texas, and stretching to the California border is a sticker of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote. She is eating popcorn and has wide eyes, she looks excited and enthusiastic.

trump (after zohran mamdani charms him for 5 minutes): “we’re looking very strongly at implementing socialism, many people are saying it. they love redistribution of wealth and you’re hearing it more and more. there’s a term, they call it, a centrally planned economy. it’s an old fashioned term”

Did you know that Outer Space is only 62 miles away? Although there is no official solid boundary for where space begins, the Kármán line sits at 62 miles (100km) above sea-level and is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties or for aerospace records keeping.

The scene is from a theater production of Fiddler on the Roof.

Today isn't just #Halloween🎃, it's also #DarkMatterDay!

Dark matter interacts via gravity, so while we can’t see it directly, we know it’s there.

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's 10-year survey will measure distortions in billions of galaxies, revealing where dark matter is hiding.🔭🧪

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
