In 2013 or so I realized that my Twitter experience was an echo chamber and I went out of my way to find people who weren't like me. Artists, historians, scholars. People who are LGBTQIA+, folks from other walks of life. It completely changed my world view.

In my travels, what I see is that AWS and GCP customers are largely selling things to companies that sell things to other people. More customers == more usage. (Though really, it's more a function of "how many engineers did they hire" that drives the cloud bill. Shhh!)

Saturn is currently in a great spot for skywatchers: close to Earth (relatively speaking) while directly opposite the Sun in our night sky. Though the full Moon may get in the way, a good telescope should still be enough to zoom in on the gas giant: go.nasa.gov/3bRqhiX
The gas giant Saturn, seen here in shades of yellow, yellow-green and light blue with faint swirling clouds, dominates this image taken by the Cassini spacecraft. Its rings are barely visible, bisecting the photo as a straight line at a slightly upward angle, but they cast a large, curved shadow on Saturn's southern hemisphere. Saturn's moon Titan is visible on the left side of this image, in front of both Saturn and its rings.

We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

The #pico8 boot sequence / jingle was originally meant to mimic old hardware running tests on startup to check if something has gone horribly wrong. But before long, it genuinely become a test to see if something has gone horribly wrong.
