Not to jinx anything, but everything is coming together nicely for Virtual Fox Fest 2025 (May) this Wednesday. Looking forward to the conference and learning (and possibly re-learning) some new things. One of my favorite days in May each year.

Personal insults, ad homenim attacks, and knocks on someone’s character are a dime a dozen these days. It costs nothing to be kind, even to someone you really disagree with. Why is it so much to ask—of prominent voices especially—to treat others with civility and respect?🤦‍♂️

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.
