With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.

There’s more info at this link. Gosh I’m excited about this.

NASA Launches Beta Site; On-Demand Streaming, App Update Coming Soon

NASA is elevating its digital platforms for the benefit of all by revamping its flagship and science websites, adding its first on-demand st

Pls check Kim Amankwaa’s story and post 🥹 she was originally suppose to be Harry’s opposite in AIW, but then she got Covid, but Harry and his team asked her to come back for the Grammy performance. When she was pregnant 🥹 and the way she talks about Harry and working with them all is incredibly lovely ♥️

This is so lovely. I saw the story this morning, but not her post. I love that people have consistently said the same things about Harry year after year.

So the James Webb telescope just took a picture of a galaxy that is 29 million light years away.

If that wasn’t cool enough NASA decided to peel away all the cosmic dust in order to see the bones of the Galaxy itself.

AND IT’S BREATHTAKING

Before the internet, librarians were the gatekeeper of knowledge. For your reading pleasure, the New York Public Library released a cache of queries and conundrums called in from the 1940s to the 1980s.

Hoopla, Overdrive/Libby Now Banned for Those Under 18 in Mississippi

Public libraries in Mississippi have cut off access to digital platforms like Overdrive and Hoopla to those under 18.

BOOK RIOT

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

date of article publication: July 7, 2023

two things stood out to me from the article: Mississippi’s age of consent is 16, so it’s apparently OK to have sex but not to read about it. (with parental consent, girls can be married at 15 and boys at 17; with parental consent and a judge’s approval, there is no minimum age for marriage.)

and also, this impacts physical access to materials too: in order to enforce the ban, the Vicksburg Library has fully deactivated cards belonging to 16-17yos until they can get a parent or guardian to sign off. for teens with unstable home situations or parents who work when the library is open or who simply won’t sign off, this means they can’t check out books at all. bleak! bleak! bleak!

Do yyou see this? Do you SEE how huge the difference is between Democrats and Republicans currently? Do you SEE how much of a difference it makes when you don’t get out to vote for Democrats to prevent shit like this?

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.

They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.

So its that easy huh

Of course it is

Actually, this isn’t “easy” and is huge news. You see, Lego is absolutely meticulous about their quality control. Their standards for manufacturing are stupidly high, as are their safety requirements. You know that distinctive “click” when you pop two Lego bricks apart? They engineered that. That sound is so distinctive that it can be used to tell genuine Lego bricks from counterfeits and it’s a sound that would be based on shape and material.

Furthermore, one of the hard requirements for a Lego brick is that it must be compatible with any other Lego brick. If I buy a set today and pull a set from the 1980s? Those bricks would fit together perfectly. This requires a huge amount of precision engineering and controls on manufacturing quality. (I can’t remember the source, but I’ve at least heard that once the brick molds wear to a certain point, they’re pulled from the line and either melted down or turned into construction material for Lego HQ. Point being, no one is getting their hands on a worn Lego mold)

Recycled and non-petroleum plastics are different from other plastic. The chemistry is different. The timing and process to use them is different. This has been a reason why more companies haven’t moved to them, because there’s a drop in quality for material (so they claim).

What Lego just did is completely obliterate that argument. The corporation with some of the strictest quality control requirements for plastic just kicked the basic foundation of the “bad quality” argument out from under it, because if they feel confident enough to guarantee the same experience as using a brick from over 40 years ago, if they are confident enough that they can meet their own metrics at a huge industrial scale….

Nobody else has any excuse.
