So it turns out that I accidentally have four (!) extra rooms reserved at the con rate for #WisCon. Do any of you who are attending need a convention-rate room?

TIL newton’s pendulum has way more „moves“ than I originally thought it has (never owned one myself and just always saw one in films etc.)

Another quick question for people who speak and write in languages other than English: Do you get upset when people use translation software to reply to your posts if they are not native speakers/writers? Why or why not?

If y'all could boost this post so that I can get more responses from people who speak/write English and at least one other language, that would be great! #CommunityDevelopment

#OtD 9 May 2012 Vidal Sassoon, "anti-fascist warrior hairdresser" died aged 84. As a teenager in London he fought Oswald Mosley's fascists in the streets with his hairdressing scissors, as part of the militant 43 Group.

This visualization is a centerpiece of this year's #NASA #BlackHoleWeek. It shows 22 binary star systems where one partner is a #BlackHole. The orbits shown are sized proportionately, but the orbits are sped up by a factor of 22,000 and the black holes are rendered larger than is correct, so that you can see them move; the shortest orbital period here is 2.4 hours. Stars are coloured corresponding to their temperature. #astronomy
