Somehow, I knew this was Phil Plait from the title. Love his stuff. And this reminded me that I forgot to migrate my RSS feeds with Phil Plait to his new blog location. Thanks!

Really interesting content but this site has one of the most aggressive, unpredictable and annoying slide-down headers I've ever seen.

Displaying written content on the web should be so simple, yet all the content producers have invented their own special blend of ways to fuck it up.

Slide-down headers. Share links widgets that overlap content. Video plays without asking and follows you down the page. Entire page lags while 800 javascript snippets load. Text is some stylish but unreadable low-contrast color. Modals begging you for your email.

I manually edit the DOM and CSS of sites on an almost daily basis now just so I can read it.

Hey, neat! Jupiter almost has an octagon on it's north pole (and nearly a pentagonal version on it's south pole), similar to Saturn's northern polar hexagon! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn's_hexagon [1] https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=1930

Well, that was mentioned in the article too.
