#NASAWebb is safely in space with its solar array drawing power from the Sun! Its reaction wheels will keep the spacecraft pointed in the right direction so that its sunshield can protect the telescope from radiation and heat: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/… #UnfoldTheUniverse

Hey @TMobileHelp might need to send some help over to Metronet. Internet went out 90 min ago. No notifications of service outage. Their text support and chat support both return “No CSR available” errors. Phone support never gets answered. Can you do a wellness check on them?

Having @WBTV_Sports give us the broadcast doesn’t make being a #panthers fan easier. @CBSSports - tell Ian Eagle we can’t hear him.

This is how it’s supposed to work. Ryan Day will never understand. Fire him now.

Baker Mayfield planted the Oklahoma flag in Ohio State's field two years ago... OSU’s Nick Bosa waved and planted a flag after hitting Baker tonight. Waited for his revenge 🌶 (via @thecheckdown)

Our most successful combat robot competition - Really Angry Smoke Detector took first place and won a fancy @unccharlotte trophy Brian designed for the event. So much fun spending time with family, friends, and murder robots.
