Maker of Butterflies

Testing my flapping mechanism. While the other stuff connected to the #butterfly looks a bit messy, I'm sure I'll be able to shrink it down to a very small circuit board soon

Latest laser cut wing design is looking shiny. Planning to test a new design using UV resin tomorrow

RAG's Biggest Problems & How to Fix It (ft. Synthetic Data) | S2 E16

Had a lot of fun recording this one with @nicolay.fyi. All things considered, in the time between recording it and now I haven't seen many left-field developments that have changed my mind about evals in RAG.

If/when any official NASA accounts do join this platform, they will be listed here, where you can find a list of all NASA’s official social media accounts:

Mull. It. All. G’wan. 😑

look I dunno if you hate being on X because all the interactions are awful I think it’s fine to not be there; I don’t think we all need to volunteer to get ripped apart by lions because it’s the only way the coliseum audience can be reached

no one is safer to confide in than *checks notes* the company that produces an emotionally-manipulative chatbot

Inside the Wild Ways Many Creatures Make Milk Mammals aren’t the only animals that provide nutritious secretions for their young

Conversation turned to “worm milk” so I thought I’d let you know

I'm trying to dig up what the rough average length of a word is in English. All the results say it's around 4.7 letters, but I can't find any serious citations. Anyone in #linguistics got anything?

The more I get into logging plants for #citizenscience, the more some of the names annoy me.

Like "Lime tree" - it doesn't produce limes! Just another name for Linden tree.

And "Plantain" isn't the fruit, but a sidewalk weed!

Anyone know any other silly plant double-namage like this?

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Straight people will be like "gay people make their sex life their whole personality" but man at least those gays HAVE a fucking personality, talking with anyone who says that is like reading the nutritional information for bottled water

Toto With half a century of elephant conservation to our name, it can sometimes feel like we have seen it all. But even among the hundreds of orphan rescues that have unfolded over the years, Toto’s story ...

Everyone rightfully excited about the #Elephant "name" news, but the elephant news that really got me this week was over at Sheldrick. Recent orphan Toto was brought to them by PREVIOUSLY RESCUED ELEPHANTS who found him and knew just where to take him. ❤️ www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/toto

Poster for Sir Billi

Poster for Sir Billi, the art design and the quality of it, it's all so bad

Poster for Sir Billi

Just found out about the final film Sean Connery acted in before he died and it's an animated film called Sir Billi and it looks like one of the worst things ever made. I need to see it so badly. Just look at these posters!

Well played, Netflix.
Well played.
