It is supposed to get cold overnight here, so we took one last pre-Christmas walk to see holiday lights. Jupiter and Saturn still make a lovely couple in the sky, even as Jupiter outpaces Saturn in their great race around the sun. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1341916717744840704/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/69961

From edyong209 https://twitter.com/edyong209 on Twitter: I went on Longform again to talk about a year of covering the pandemic, what I've tried to do, and the personal toll it has taken. (I first spoke to them in March, so this is an audio version of the "how it started; how it's going" meme.) https://longform.org/posts/longform-podcast-423-ed-yong

I do NOT know what is going on with the heat in my work office and, quite frankly, I do not WANT to know. I am so tired of reporting temperature issues to facilities, and this is just weird. https://blog.smu.edu/saso/projects/fondren-science-temperature/ https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1341585911130275841/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/69954

PolitiFact | Anti-vaccine video of fainting nurse lacks context Fainting during pain of any kind is more common than people think. It happens during needle insertion in many people. Out of context, it can seem scary. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/21/facebook-posts/anti-vaccine-video-fainting-nurse-lacks-context/

From BadAstronomer http://status.hackerposse.com/url/23045 on Twitter: Here's my best shot tonight of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction, using my phone on a Celestron 8" scope. Jupiter's moons L-R are Callisto, Io, and on the other side Europa (far right is a star). Saturn is overexposed but you can see its moon Titan to the l... http://status.hackerposse.com/url/23046 http:…

From mcnees https://twitter.com/mcnees on Twitter: Carl Sagan passed away #OTD in 1996. In his final interview he left us with two messages that are still relevant today: one emphasizing the importance of a science literate public, the other a warning about how hard it is to extract ourselves when weve been conned. https://twitter.com/mcnees/status/1340697644545531904/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/69931

From scott_kerr https://twitter.com/scott_kerr on Twitter: Enormous xylophone in the woods of Kyushu, Japan plays a Bach tune when a wooden ball rolls down each "key."

From CERN https://twitter.com/CERN on Twitter: #DidYouKnow linear accelerators are at the very core of CERN's accelerator chain, as the main source for ion and proton beams? As a treat for the holidays, you can now build your very own linear particle accelerator model!

I think this headline and photo is an excellent summary of the hellscape that has been the last 4 years. They made a pandemic exponentially worse with pseudoscience, take the benefit of the science-based treatment for their mess, and none of this registered emotionally for them. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1339926724121903107/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/69903

The contact-tracing apps springing up all over the world have the same potential to violate user freedom and privacy that all proprietary programs do. Plus, they can open the path for authoritarian governments to further violate human rights: https://u.fsf.org/33-
