This waking up every two hours all night following by the final 5:45am wakeup and walk to let R sleep has got to stop… I just wish I knew how. It’s been going on for too long, he is almost a year old but still sleeps like a newborn

thoroughly exhausted and operating largely on autopilot. Yesterday’s beach trip I could muster, but not much more focussing than that. I really should have gone alone instead of with a friend so I could sleep.
Maybe I could sleep today instead of the planned trip to Guggenheim but I’m terrified of what next week will be when I actually do need to focus.

That “alien megastructure” star just got even more mysterious

The mysterious star, formally named KIC 8462852, is intriguing because it exhibits a strange dimming pattern that scientists can’t explain. Initial observations showed the star was dimming at abnormal moments. This led astronomers to propose that a giant “alien megastructure,” like a Dyson sphere, might be blocking some of its light. But now a new study showed its dimming pattern is even more bizarre.

for some reason, thinking of this makes me kind of sad – 715M years ago was relatively not that long ago – we already had fungi, kelps and animals like sponges here, even though it was very cold.
