I’m at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC today and I was “dad-splaining” to my son how during the last Ice Age there was a land bridge that connected continental Asia to Japan.
A docent asked me if I was a geologist.
Then my son just bumped into @neildegrassetyson.com in the elevator.

Germany’s proposal of a drone wall around NATO, including through Ukraine, is more revolutionary than we might think. Imagine a flying, thinking, AI-powered minefield that attacks Russian tanks as soon as they roll across the border.

Just to be clear, what’s happening right now is illegal. A private citizen, who has not been appointed or elected, has your social security number, bank account number. We’re watching a coup like we’re in a daze.
Where are the courts?
Where is Congress?
Why hasn’t this person been arrested?
