This is genius. Also I want a custard fridge.
Idly doodling with an idea for people doing Dry January who don't want to be triggered by being reminded about booze all the time by replacing mentions in the news with custard and it's kinda delightful

I think it’s fantastic that NASA’s funding some research with theologians and others about what if we find alien life. Would love to see more funding for research on the societal impacts of our science and potential technology.

Some great advice (despite the tediously snarky intro) from @seriouseats for anyone trying to work out how to get the perfect roast potatoes using American varieties -
seriouseats.com
These are the most flavorful crispy roast potatoes you'll ever make. And they just happen to be gluten-free and vegan (if you use oil) to boot.

Ugh, of all the stories, this is the one making me homesick and sad I won’t be in the UK this Christmas.
The T. rex at London’s Natural History Museum is a ferocious-looking beast. It’s now wearing a cozy Christmas sweater. “There is nothing more funny than a jumper fitted for a dinosaur that has the tiniest arms in the world,” one employee said. https://t.co/leHawmXrjZ

I got both mine at Javits and thought it was cool, but….

It’s a bit of a niche thing to love, but scientists cheering when their ridiculously difficult missions succeed was always one of my favourite bits of covering space. Go science!
"Wow!" The @NASAJPL team is all cheers as they receive video data from the @NASAPersevere rover of the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter flight:

Despite not being a hardware product, something that had a strong presence on the #CES2021 stage was #CSR. Brands talked about the accessibility of their products or their philanthropic efforts but 2021 demands more - my thoughts for @ForbesTech
