NOT an Oxymoron In These Cases

Adding Abigail Disney to the list of Responsibly-Behaving Rich People. This is the latest instalment in the list of reasons for that:

Right up there with Nick Hanauer, Mark Cuban, and others.

Comments in her Twitter thread above-linked led me to Chamath Palihapitiya as well, whom I guess I need to learn more about. Informed opinions on him are welcome.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see a pharmacy about an APAP device later this morning. And when I get back from that inquiry, it's back to the job search.

SPACE: More on Fomalhaut/alpha Piscis Austrini

Noting another essay from Phil Plait, this time about Fomalhaut's supposed planet...or is it an pre-planetary formation belt of material?

And how many stars are components of the Fomalhaut system, anyway? I've read reports of anywhere from two to six stars being part of the system, and that doesn't seem to have been sorted out yet. As of this writing, the Wikipedia article devoted to that star's been rewritten to argue for a trinary. Fomalhaut B is AKA "TW Piscis Austrini", Fomalhaut C AKA LP 876-10.

Oh, something else I got pointed out to me via Wikipedia: the Castor Moving Group. Didn't know about that before, either!

About the pharmacy thing?

I mentioned that this morning.

It seemed a good idea to call ahead, so after 10 AM, I did. They're not seeing people about sleep apnea gear until at least mid-May.

Oh well. One more medical expense punted into the future, right?

Suspicious character, hm?
