This resonates directly with the #tech community I am involved in where something similar happened, and highlights once again that #Palestine and the stance towards the #genocide we are witnessing acts as a moral compass.

Tiny Lego Computers

James Brown, a WETA Workshop engineer, created some itty-bitty LEGO computer displays that actually display stuff. What it takes to build a tiny Lego computer...

He has a account btw

Astronomers are closing in on a radically new kind of cosmic map--a map that shows the universe in gravitational waves.

The process is hard. This new, preliminary version is uncertain. But we're seeing a fresh view of reality come into focus.

The coolest thing about mapping the universe in gravitational waves? You need a telescope the size of our galaxy to do it.

So...astronomers got to work & figured out how to make a telescope the size of our galaxy.

Taking a break from awful things:

Scientists taught rats to drive cars. The rats quickly learned to rev the engine and take longer routes just for fun.

Bonus: Watch the researcher do a little happy leap when the rat gets into the car.
