ELON, THIS IS URGENT!! TAKE IT FROM US: Cover any small thermal exhaust ports leading directly to Twitter's reactor system before it's too late.

This place has been important to me. To my connections and friendships. To my career. But if its last act is to absolutely torch the mythology of competence surrounding and sustaining billionaires, it will have all been worth it.

@netldn Thank you all!

Talk 2 this evening was @erikkline on Project Loon

Someone hitched a ride on the Piccadilly line. 🙂

One more chance for the mysterious credit card algorithms to decide this must but fraud and deny this extra charge, thereby trapping the victim^Wtraveller inside the station until some other card randomly works or cash is found somewhere. ☹️

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the otherwise well-run and enjoyable Madrid metro forces all visitors to queue to pay an extra stupid 3€ fee to get out of the station at the airport stop where they bought the train pass card in the first place.

Excited to see @daraobriain after 2.5 years! (Ticket originally purchased for the “Before Times”)

Unified Engineering is a rite of passage for @mitaeroastro sophomores, putting them on a path toward careers as aeronautical engineers. “It equips the students with fundamental skills,” Zoltán Spakovszky says. Video: Lillie Paquette for @MITEngineering

@claucece Yours was great!

My feelings at the moment after hearing amazing talks, and not being able to follow all of them:

It’s okay if you go to this link webbtelescope.org/contents/media… & download the high-res image & save it on your phone and zoom all the way in & peer at every little galaxy smudge & imagine what life might be like on a tiny unknowable world orbiting one of its billions of pinprick stars

The #RoeVsWade decision isn't the only reason to take a more critical eye to the courts. This institution has not served the American people well, and it’s time to start treating it that way, writes @imillhiser. vox.com/2022/5/3/23055…
