The two greatest and most important writing hires in comic history—Alan Moore to write Swamp Thing and Chris Claremont to write X-Men—were both made by the same guy: Len Wein

A Narrowband Technosignature Search Toward the Hycean Candidate K2-18b Using the VLA and MeerKAT K2-18b, a sub-Neptune exoplanet located in the habitable zone of its host star, has emerged as an important target for atmospheric characterization and assessments of potential habitability. Motivated...

These authors went looking for technosignatures around (in)famous exoplanet K2-18b with 2 of the world's best radio interferometers. They found none, but cool work and great to highlight that these searches are happening. arxiv.org/abs/2602.09553 🔭

Fanart of T'Lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Left: T'Lyn on a Vulcan ship, with her Vulcan grey and white crew uniform. She is standing with her left arm behind her back and doing a Vulcan salute with her right hand. Top Right: T'Lyn rearranging the pieces on a 3D chess board and looking sideways conspiratorially. She is in the Cerritos' nar and in her Starfleet uniform. Bottom Right: T'Lyn wielding a Larpa while on Orion, wearing her yellow Orion outfit, looking hella angry.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

holy absolute fuck

This makes me so happy! We begged Shannon to go to a convention, she’s so talented and kind and has a whole life outside of Trek helping people in need. I can’t believe she’s never been to one of these, everyone please make sure she feels the love.🖖
