Tonight is an open thread night but I did cobble together a couple of interesting tweets for discussion.

🌌 Happy #HubbleFriday! This week’s image shows the spiral galaxy UGC 11537, which lies about 230 million light-years away. The two foreground stars are making a cosmic photobomb, as they’re actually within our galaxy, the Milky Way: https://t.co/02AT9uIbMFpic.twitter.com/wavUVovyqZ

Remember how a while back I said that I went to a Michelin starred restaurant and it was one of the most singularly awful meals of my life? I finally sat down and wrote about the whole fiasco. https://t.co/7edAjXIiKx

There is something to be said about a truly disastrous meal, a meal forever indelible in your memory because it’s so uniquely bad, it can only be deemed an achievement. The sort of meal where everyone involved was definitely trying to do something; it’s just not entirely clear what.

I’m not talking about a meal that’s poorly cooked, or a server who might be planning your murder—that sort of thing happens in the fat lump of the bell curve of bad. Instead, I’m talking about the long tail stuff – the sort of meals that make you feel as though the fabric of reality is unraveling. The ones that cause you to reassess the fundamentals of capitalism, and whether or not you’re living in a simulation in which someone failed to properly program this particular restaurant. The ones where you just know somebody’s going to lift a metal dome off a tray and reveal a single blue or red pill.

Yes...it’s looks as bad as “Geraldine” writes. I don’t even want to taste that stuff.

Comments below.

From brillig:

In the diary by Christopher Reeves about Tucker Carlson’s war on the homeless — this comment made by belinda ridgewood sums up exactly my thoughts on the Faux News Tree Fire.
