BREAKING: A small asteroid is expected to impact Northeast Germany, near the capital Berlin, in just over half an hour [21 Jan 2024 0:32:33UTC]. It’ll create a brief fireball. Object size is around ~1 meter. Temporary designation of the object is Sar2736.

It’s open! It’s open! And ready for its closeup. After successfully removing two final fasteners on Jan. 10, members of the @astromaterials team photographed the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample with a special technique to achieve super high-res images. go.nasa.gov/3U2bCoU
ALT A top-down view of a round, silver metal device that looks like three concentric circles. The outermost circle has triangular metal ridges that look like rays of sun. The second ring is covered in dark dust particles and small rocks, with silver bolts peeking through the dust. The central circle has three metal bars, crossing in a star pattern.
Ah, that's better. I respect his engineering leadership with Tesla and SpaceX, but I've had enough of the political confirmation bias quoting from sources in his own political echo chamber.

Node-based tools just became non-experimental and are now part of Blender 4.0 beta. They allow you to create custom operators using #GeometryNodes. For that purpose there are also a few tool-specific nodes to access e.g. the current selection. #b3d #devfund
Going to say it ... The logo for @X looks really really tacky. It makes me think of cigarette packs in the 80s.
Having this exclusively on Twitter and not on YouTube is terrible. Apparently they haven't even implemented the same playback controls that YouTube has. This is objectively a worse experience .
Speaking as someone who has always worked from home, the "return to work" mandates for workers with duties that CAN be done remotely, shows that CEOs are more concerned with control than results. Merely having people on site does not guarantee performance results.

Mathematics. To those who do not know mathematics, it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.
