A man is sitting next to his newborn baby's cot. From the other room his father comes in and lays a hand on his shoulder.

"You've done really well, mate. You'll make a brilliant dad."

The son looks up and smiles with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "Thanks, Dad. I really hope so."

The old man pulls out a small book from his back pocket and hands it to his son. "Now that you're a parent, I'd like you to have this. I studied it for the first year of your life and memorised every single one. I'd love you to use it for my grandson."

The son looks at the cover which is titled 1000 Dad Jokes To Annoy Your Children. He looks up with tears in his eyes. "Dad...I'm honoured."

His dad smiles: "Hello, Honoured. I'm Dad."

Hey, you: Get a load of this cloud! High-altitude ice clouds (like this one) can help regulate Earth's temperature by reflecting energy from the Sun.

A new @NASAEarth mission called PoISIR aims to study them in greater detail to improve climate forecasts. go.nasa.gov/3IAfgjj

@stux Oh… that makes a lot of sense. I was born in Canada, but grew up on my grandparents’ farm. They had immigrated from the Netherlands to Canada when my father was a small child after WW2. They were the same. Zero respect for the natural world around them, and I could never figure that out. They came from generations of Dutch farmers so may have just brought the mind set with them.

Tiny Privacy Tip 🔒✨:

If you are ready to step up your communication’s privacy, I wrote a comparative review of 4 instant messaging services offering end-to-end encryption:

Signal, Threema, iMessage, and WhatsApp

For each I describe what data they disclose collecting, what data is encrypted, and what data is not:

Choose what suits your needs the best, but choose wisely 💬​✨

Most people probably don't know this (and why would they?):

In 2022, #CNN's parent company was bought by a right-wing billionaire. He immediately set out to transform CNN, making it appealing to right-wing extremists. That's why CNN organized a Trump rally and put it on national TV this week. It wasn't an error. It was the point.

Like you said, CNN is like a radio station that suddenly switched music formats. It's time for us to leave it now.

#Antarctic sea ice continues as the lowest on record for the date (in the satellite-era). The visual here shows how anomalous it actually is for this time of year.

💖 🥺 my friend gave me this ya'll.

(Insert philosophical, introspective, emotional rant about how hard I've worked to change myself and it's changed the world around me and the company I keep and I'm starting to get to see it)
