@carolynporco That's not a real news site, and the story shows many signs of not having been written by a human, and in fact even the description of the site itself also appears to have been written by a bot

How careless science reporting is these days. Here's the 2nd article abt phosphorus in the ocean of Enceladus where I'm quoted incorrectly. tinyurl.com/572fxee5 In the intervu, I said what I always say: Enc is the most PROMISING, not flourishing, place to search for life. 😡

@carolynporco Thank you so much for sharing this!

The most charming thing I've seen in a very long time. Animals are the best.

Really? Wtf?

@SusannaLHarris Seriously, since when is readability irrelevant? (Well, judging by much of graphic design these days, maybe for a while now). But Opus the penguin should have the last word:

@SusannaLHarris In the myriad responses here, the arguments seem to come down to this: In favor of two spaces — it makes the text more easily readable. (Asserted by many people, rebutted by none). Against two spaces — what? It seems old fashioned, it’s not necessary, I don’t like it...

This is the best quick summary I’ve seen. Nicely done.

Good dog!

Marsha Blackburn sent two armed US Marshals to my home in Nashville to subpoena me to Congress for the fetal tissue research that Trump ended up using to save himself from the coronavirus while nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court so that she can ban it permanently.

Correlation is not causation. But...

Baby CGIraffes! Very cute.

Retweet this for Donald Trump

Consider what it means that the White House actively blocked mask distribution in our country. Our worst-in-the-world death toll is a consequence of active interference, not just plain incompetence. This president will not keep us safe.

It's hard to get a sense of scale in the Mars images from NASA's Curiosity rover, so @_TheSeaning added an astronaut into the scenes.

.⁦@LindseyGrahamSC⁩ in 2018: ⁩ “I’ll tell you this...if an opening comes in the last year of president Trump's term and the primary process has started we'll wait to the next election.”

How New Mexico got #COVID19 under control. Testing, protection strategies, acting quickly, clear public health instructions. @cragcrest explains how this led to lower infection rates and deaths than other states in @sciam today.

ICYMI this piece by me in @TheAtlantic yesterday suggests how vigilante violence in Kenosha and the Trump acceptance speech are linked theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@StephenKing Black walnut

I found this by the side of the road on my morning walk with Molly (aka the Thing of Evil). It's hard and smells nice, almost like aftershave. My daughter Naomi says it's a lime that escaped from someone's grocery bag. What do you think, Twitter?

Gilbert Levin has been making the case for 44 years that living organisms exist on Mars today, and the evidence only continues to get stronger. A nice summary here by Leonard David. leonarddavid.com/the-case-for-l…

Last night was the fourth time I’ve managed to see comet NEOWISE, but the first time I managed to get a decent shot of it. It’s faint, but lovely, and should stay visible for a few more days at least.
