A plane flies perpendicular to the line of sight. Its sound lags by some angle. The sine of that angle is the ratio of the plane's speed to that of sound. You're welcome.
If Wordle words were selected randomly and independently, you would expect at the very least one duplicate each year, usually at least 5 in fact. You're welcome.

Congress needs to pass universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and confirm Steve Dettelbach as head of the ATF.
It’s time to turn this pain into action.

Every American CEO, every corporate leader, every company based in Texas (@HP, @Oracle, @AmericanAir, @SouthwestAir, @WholeFoods, @Dell, @HEB) has a moral responsibility to publicly join the coalition demanding stronger gun laws. Today.

The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
R question. Let's say that df$A is "nested" in df$B if knowing the value of A tells you the value of B. What's the easiest way to summarize which pairs of a dataframe's columns are nested?
Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 800-273-8255 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline US). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Let’s all look out for each other.

Dear @POTUS (& @PressSec)
An ambitious, but simple plan to convert holidays into an time to REDUCE #COVID19
1) Give every American 4 #RapidTests
2) Ask every American to test on Dec 25, 28, 31, Jan 3
3) Simultaneous mass severing of transmission chains can collapse outbreaks
A convenient unit for describing fluxes in the H20 cycle of our planet is 10^12 cubic meters/year. Which is a thousand cubic km per year. Have a nice day.
In a @LtlFreeLibrary I found "Another Planet" by @tracey_thorn, from which I learned that "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" (as heard in the movie Thema & Louise) was written by Shel Silverstein. It would be hard to diagram how interconnected things are.

Retweet if you are or support a glass-ceiling breaker in #STEM. We have a long way to go, but I am so happy to see research and science continuing to shift in who sits at the table. Contributions from diverse and all perspectives are critical to advancing science. #STEMdiversity
Today I learned that the Wilcoxon rank sum test was introduced by Wilcoxon in 1946 in the Journal of Economic Entomology. More importantly: There is a Journal of Economic Entomology.
Not beach reading, but this is real gateway-drug science writing. A dive into the ecology of seed dispersal by animals (and what happens when they go extinct). Avocados will never look the same.

Suppose that a cylindrical glass vase of mass M falls from a height h onto a hard surface. When the dust settles, what will be the expected number of fragments of size m at distance r? Asking for my stupid, stupid self.
