Over at NPR, I talked about Star Trek: Resurgence as one of my favorite video games of 2023 so far. If you haven't given it a chance yet, think about it!

If you enjoy my space videos, I’d appreciate it if you’d follow me on my YouTube channel, Ad Astra! Social media is increasingly unreliable, and I’m trying to build my channel from scratch:

My grocery store sells these frozen Key Lime Pie slices (in a 2-pack) and it really is the best thing

JWST’s first anniversary image actually shows us, among other things, a circumstellar disk that might become a planetary system one day.

More on this breathtaking picture:

My #StarTrekVoyager rewatch (now in season 7) has given me a new appreciation for the series. I always loved it, but now I think I love it more while also recognizing it has VERY high highs…and very low lows. It swings so wildly.

These mosaic images of star-forming regions are made up of over a MILLION individual images. Check out the photos from the ESO’s Visions Survey.

It's so funny how much space on all these social networks is taken up by people dunking on other social networks.

JWST took a look at the first asteroid belt discovered outside our solar system, and the results surprised us. The Fomalhaut system actually has multiple belts!

If you have questions about the gravitational wave announcement -- why it matters, what happened, didn't we already detect graviational waves? -- I've got you covered.

You may have heard hype about a big science announcement scheduled for tomorrow — but what could it be? I break down what NANOGrav is and what we can expect, given the kind of science they do.

Going to finally teach myself to knit socks. I’ve got the yarn, I am READY. (I’ve made socks twice before and have hated every second of it, plus I didn’t use the right kind of yarn. I’m going to try crazy sock lady’s tutorials. #knotting @knitting

SUPER enjoying my Supernatural watch. I’m halfway into season 4.

Twitter somehow gets worse week by week--right now it is an unusable swamp of right wing conspiracy theory, wave after wave of racism (there is currently an "invasion" underway at the southern border that must be stopped by lethal force) crypto bros, and bots selling high-follower accounts. Amazing really.

If nothing else, the post-Twitter social media arms race has been fascinating to watch.
