This is a formal portrait of the surviving Apollo astronauts. That's Buzz Aldrin in the silver tux. I have to imagine the conversation went like this:
ALDRIN: Ok, let's get started
PHOTOGRAPH: Mr. Aldrin, you are aware that this is a formal portrait?
BA: I'm not an idiot son.
PG: Well your suit-
BA: Son, have you been to the moon?
PG: No sir.
BA: Well I have. The moon. The motherlovin' moon. In a tin can run by a calculator and powered by a can of sterno. (1/)
@drmaddkap I’ve been in live audiences for two of the Apollo astronauts (all of whom have my respect and admiration).
• Charlie Duke is a great speaker and easy to listen to, and you’d love to have him at your BBQ.
• Buzz got to say whatever he wanted whenever he thought it, the other very professional and Astro/space people just had to let him, then they’d get back to the script. Both were fantastic fun, and I’m glad to have seen them in person.

Oh no, the US military have shot down a UFO over Alaska.
We are going to be hearing about this for decades…

Just checking so that I'm prepared: what is the appropriate and traditional way to celebrate your open source project's 25th birthday? 🤔

Corymbia ficifolia, also commonly known as the #redfloweringgum, is a tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It has rough bark on the trunk and on its branches, robust, bright green thick leaves, flower buds in groups of seven; bright red, pink or orange flowers and its fruit is like the shape of cups. That’s the best description I can give.
This one in #BentleighEast #Australia has the most lovely deep-pink flowers. Although the colour is subtle viewing the tree from afar, up close the colour is really quite striking.
Love the fine hair appearance of these flowers too! The bees seem quite partial to them as well. 🐝🐝🐝
I read just now with interest that these are one of the most commonly planted ornamental eucalypts in Australia.

I’m reading “Turing’s Cathedral,” by George Dyson, and I’m struck by this bit. Von Neumann was working on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, and returned home to tell his wife that he was terrified by the monster they had created. But that “monster” wasn’t the bomb, but computers.

Do you know why you won't find any mention anywhere on the W3C website of #web3? It does not exist. BOOM! There is one web.
@sonder excellent!
I’m also going to do the same now re:work, but hope my wife doesn’t do the same re:husband.

NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.
Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.
