We all did weird stuff during lockdown...

Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects

Pictured: Sir Isaac Newton discovered gay rays on this day, which is why we celebrate pride.

Excellent picture of an excellent album. "The Black Album" is absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC albums. Not quite on par with "Nevermind", but it's definitely up there. "Stairway to heaven" alone makes this one of John Foggertys legendary works.

PS: It was a loss to the band when Wes Borland left, but David Gilmore is a pretty great replacement drummer.

Then by year two of his lockdown, Newton was inserting a tiny lever under his own eyeball, inside the eye socket, to try and figure out how the eye captures and processes light.

I wonder what Newton would have done if he were alive today and tried to figure out furries.

And calculating far too many digits of π by hand

To many people back then, a prism turning a sumbeam into a spray of colors must have seemed like actual magic happening right before their eyes.

Still does.
