6/10 favorite quotes - Big damn heroes, sir.

A book crystallized in the ocean

He always fell for puppies.

If you’re looking for cute you’ve come to the right place! Thanks to the Naval Photographic Center, which filmed many of President Ford’s activities, we have footage of Liberty’s puppies playing in the White House Rose Garden. President Ford, Mrs. Ford, and Susan had a photo shoot with the little golden retrievers on November 5, 1975, followed by frolicking and general adorableness.

We’ve highlighted some of our favorite moments above. Watch the full video and pick your own!

Sonnet for President Trump

Shall I compare thee to a Shakespeare play? Thou art less clever and less literate, But how else should poor poets have their say? Alas, our leader lacks a donkey’s wit! Sometime too fierce the fire of ego burns, And when a man is made to look a fool, He rages ’gainst the mockery he earns, As little boys will cry when teas’d at school. But thy eternal tantrums shall not wane, Nor shalt thou e’er unclench thy tiny fists, Nor listen when the people dare to say, “’Tis you, dear sir, who made a scene of this.”         So long as men can breathe and speech is free,         The Bard shall speak and show thy shame to thee.

He came from a distant star. So far that when he passed by Vega--some 300,000 years ago--Vega wasn't even there yet.

MEET OUMUAMUA, THE FIRST INTERSTELLAR ASTEROID 

The whole story is fascinating but these bits caught our attention:

Pronounced “Oh-moo-ah-moo-ah,” it means “a messenger from afar arriving first.”

Observations of the wildly-varying light from ‘Oumuamua showed scientists it wasn’t spherical, but probably had a cigar shape measuring 800 meters by 80 meters by 80 meters—that’s something almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty, but half a mile long. It’s red, and likely made from metal and carbon-rich matter like some comets.

There are many unknown things in our galaxy, and some of them are zooming at us at incredible speeds.

I’m so mad that a t4 bacteriophage actually looks like that and that it’s appearance isn’t made up
