The conservative president of the German parliament decided that the rainbow flag will not fly on the Reichstag building for the Berlin CSD, contrary to previous years. The Greens and Left found a perfect way to protest. 🌈

Here's a little side-by-side of a patch of our Virgo imaging (from Mihos+17) compared to today's Rubin release. I knew that Rubin field looked familiar! Nice to see they recover a lot of that low surface brightness structure. 🔭

The Stones really turned a stylistic corner with the 1968 release of "Beggar's Banquet", one of my favorite albums ever.

Good Christ I can't even stay up until 10pm for a Guardians game, what makes you think I'm going to stay up to listen to President Bone Spurs rattle his saber?

Remembering going to see The Who in 1982 at the (now-defunct) Capital Centre with @wtaf-ufb-ffs.bsky.social. My first "arena concert". The place absolutely exploded when they played Baba O'Riley. And of course I did buy one of those concert baseball t-shirts that were the absolute rage in the 80s.

I still laugh thinking about driving around years ago listening to Jagger and the Stones singing "Lady Jane", a love song of a guy pledging loyalty to his lady, and suddenly then-7-yr-old Elderkid pipes up from the back seat: "Wait, that's the third different girl he's named in this song."

Me, leaving work today: "OK, let me fire up a few analysis runs and I can log in tonight and see how they turned out...." Me, at home tonight: "...or I could just crack open beer now, and check on those tests in the morning."

Listening to The Police's "Rehumanize Yourself" and it really feels like maybe more people need to do that right about now.

Spent the morning searching/parsing IllustrisTNG subhalo/group catalogs for galaxy cluster simulation work, now spending the afternoon testing photometric reductions of Hubble data using DrizzlePac and Dolphot. That's some serious computational whiplash for a Friday.

I am constantly begging my students to do this: don't make a statistical/quantitative measurement of something if you haven't actually plotted the data first!

Six years ago today I closed up the Burrell Schmidt after a successful observing run, drove down off the mountain, and flew back home to Cleveland. Little did I know it would be my last ever observing run on that telescope. And probably my last ever observing run.... ever.
