Cosmic Fuckery

Reasons my human has cried:

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

I close my eyes. I enter my Mathemagical Mind Palace. I see the object before me. I'm working out the differential equations. The derivative of the function with respect to time is equal to a constant times the second derivative of the function with respect to distance from the origin. A billion vectors rendered in with ray-tracing. I see the phase portrait. I see the three-dimensional manifold in a four-dimensional space. The shadows on the wall and the ancient beings who make the shadows. I peer into the amethyst eyes of the unyielding serpent. I have done my calculation.

As an introvert and someone who's very obsessed with their creative side, writing, I naturally hate socializing. But not in the way one would expect.

Don’t worry, guys. Carl is clearly a brachiosaurus, which lived during the Jurassic period. (And before anyone says our lil’ boy Steve is a velociraptor and therefore puts our comic in the late cretaceous, aka the time of the comet–that lil guy could easily be a compsognathus or a caudipteryx, both Jurassic-era species of small theropod dinosaurs. So the light getting bigger every night is going to pass by harmlessly, and Steve and Carl can go on enjoying the stars together until they die of old age, since Carl has very few natural predators at his size and I bet he’ll protect Steve, if he needs it (though small, fast and carnivorous as Steve is, he probably won’t).

This year, there are no fewer than 5 separate planned missions to the moon by various space agencies and companies. This number is expected to increase each year, and it seems that they are all based on a single goal: to establish infrastructure on the moon. Artemis II, the NASA mission completed earlier this April, is merely part two of a six-part mission which aims to start bringing the modules for a semi-permanent moon base by 2028. China's Chang-e mission seems to be similar, with Chang-e 7 launching in August with equipment to do spectrography of lunar ice, and Chang-e 8 planned for 2028 to see if bricks can be constructed out of moon regolith. India has their Chandrayaan-4 mission set for October 2027 to 2028, meant to collect samples from the Lunar South Pole. Europe's Starlight program to bring communications satellites into Lunar orbit are set to start later this year, as well, with the goal to be to set up full communications and navigation satellites by 2028.
