Along for the Ride

Want to watch the Perseverance Mars probe as it heads out on its journey? You can do so here, through up to the minute mapping and some cool inernetery. Animation shows you where the probe is, where some other satellites are and where the planets are. You can rotate the solar system so you're looking at it from the plane of the ecliptic and see why the probe's course does not head straight from Earth to Mars. Take a look.

Or you could watch Bette Midler on Twitter make fun of Melania Trump's accent. The internet, proving that it will indeed go to insane and fetid lengths to be completely open, has both.
