Hey, I just noticed that 2/22/2022 will fall on a Tuesday, creating ULTIMATE MEGA TWOSDAY and that somehow makes up for today being a Monday.

It’s just over four years away. Start preparing now.

 

squareallworthy:

ULTIMATE MEGA TWOSDAY is only three years away. Are you ready? Do you have a date? Have you booked a hotel room?

 

squareallworthy:

I’m thinking the big party locations will be Tuvalu, Tulane University, and Timbuktu.

 

squareallworthy:

ULTIMATE MEGA TWOSDAY is now TWO years away. Get started on those decorations and party favors!

Zuko, finally finding his five year old adopted daughter after hours of searching: Sokka, why is Korra on top of the fridge

Sokka: she’s in time out

Zuko: why

Sokka: I just remembered the time Aang woke me up before sunrise and then wouldn’t let me go back to sleep and he may be our daughter now but that doesn’t mean he can get off the hook for his crimes

Korra: I’m in jail :D

 

gayavatarstyle:

Zuko: Young lady, this is non-negotiable. Now get in the tub

Baby Korra: okay [gets in the tub while bending all the water out]

Zuko: okay, that one’s on me, instructions were too vague

 

gayavatarstyle:

Sokka: she’s earthbent a wall in front of her door because she’s mad at us. Can you PLEASE get rid of it

Toph: sure [kicks the door open]

Korra: NO DADS ALLOWED IN MY ROOM UNTIL I GET THE POLAR BEAR DOG I WAS PROMISED

Toph, to Sokka: you didn’t tell me you owe the kid a polar bear dog

Sokka: oh come on I didn’t think she’d remember! Where am I even supposed to get one?

Toph: I don’t know Ponytail, figure it out [goes into Korra’s room and earthbends a bigger, stronger earth wall in front of the door]

Sokka: toph

Toph: you know our demands

I think on this site, there are a lot of people who aren’t ready to buy a domain name, so I’ll mention Neocities. (And yes, it lets you export an archive of your site as many times as you like.)

Also, the line “completely alien technology like RSS” makes me sad.

Me: It took me years to realize that “Discipline and Punish” Foucault and “giant pendulum” Foucault were different people

Friend, with some ha-ha-but-kinda-serious horror and exasperation: Wait, there are TWO Foucaults?

This is me, except with “fast Fourier transform” Fourier and “utopian socialism” Fourier.

It would be even fourier if there were four of them, but I guess they are not quite that foury.

According to Wikipedia, there’s also “Catholic Saint” Fourier, but no fourth Fourier.  Which is fitting, as though they’re Fourier, they’re not the Fouriest.

It’s official – we’re headed to do science on the Sun! ☀️

At 11:03 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 9, Solar Orbiter, an international collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, launched aboard United Launch Alliance’s #AtlasV rocket for its journey to our closest star. The spacecraft will help us understand how the Sun creates and controls the constantly changing space environment throughout the solar system. The more we understand about the Sun’s influence on the planets in our solar system and the space we travel through, the more we can protect our astronauts and spacecraft as we journey to the Moon, to Mars and beyond. More here.
