It might be just over the line of good taste, gently touching pretentious.
TRAPPIST-1 b lacked atmosphere. TRAPPIST-1 c? Much the same. Though thought to be similar to Venus (both in size and amounts of radiation from its star), Webb found it lacks Venusβs thick CO2-rich atmosphere. If there is one, itβs very thin. https://go.nasa.gov/3NBm7vJ

Beignet is also a good word. And an even better munchie.
While much of our nation celebrates Juneteenth, the GOP increase its defense of white supremacy. What we are seeing today from the GOP is a concerted effort to move America backwards in defense of white supremacy.

We, the moderation and administration of tech.lgbt, are signing the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact in fellowship with our peer communities. (https://vantaa.black/pact)
There is over a decade of precedent that Facebook will not have users' best interests as their guiding principle but rather profit margins, if it joins the Fediverse.
We at tech.lgbt have long held the belief that corporation owned instances are a threat to the core of the Fediverse: freedom for users to be themselves and to be a part of their communities. The 2010s saw the loss of online freedom when the majority of the Web was consolidated into a few destinations, and Facebook entering here could lead us back to centralization. Furthermore, NDAs for server admins will constrain our sovereignty online by binding us legally from disrupting their business.
We are not products. We are people, and we do not welcome Facebook in this space.

Predictably, #Juneteenth has already been hijacked by corporatism into another holiday where many who arenβt directly connected to it are enjoying the day off in the United States.
So, I encourage you to support Black creators here on the #Fediverse - and Black creators feel free to promote your work by commenting on this post. Iβll start:
Hi. My name is Rod, and my website and podcast covers indie sci-fi + fantasy short films, web series, and other closely related media. You can check out my work here: https://bio.site/eyeonscifi and support my work here: https://paypal.me/the7thmatrix
Like many other scientists I often get "debate me" emails from random people with weird ideas about #astronomy. If I answer, they feel validated. Same if I don't. So I always pick the option that doesn't waste my time. Don't fall for the "debate me" trap, folks, you can't win. #scicomm
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
