FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

Rules are made to be broken. Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

This is a really remarkable picture, all the more so from showing the Earth from an unusual angle and orientation. Here is what it looks like rotated to a more familiar orientation and slightly enhanced. Either way, (almost) every person who ever lived or died is within the frame of this photo!

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

Ironically, vast swathes of the planet are now being rendered inhospitable to human life by climate change, and elites are openly advocating the human settlement of Mars. You could be forgiven for thinking we’re living in a conspiracy theory! #Alternative3

Bluesky isn’t dying, it just says it is all the time because it’s a millennial

This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I’m not sure about the paper, but I remember @timcrane.bsky.social saying this:

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world. It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

Another spectacular image of Earth taken by Artemis Commander Reid Wiseman. Showing the terminator between day and night. 🔭 🧪

This speaks volumes about how uneducated everyone else in that room was! 😂 #Trumpland #IdiotKingDonald

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

This is so, so well-articulated.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

We need at least 25 tickets sold for this event to go ahead, so all reposts are very much appreciated! Better yet, come along! #Manchester #queerlit #fantasy #reading #openmic

Wow, like a ghost ship 114 years on, Belfast witnesses an incredible full-scale drone Titanic depart into the night once more.

We're watching the end of fossil fuel dominance in real time.

The most important thing about any Attorney General in the news is that we take the opportunity to use the correct plural form.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

Donald fired Pam Bondi for one reason and one reason only: she didn't do enough to cover up for him. And she really tried.

Code for “someone willing to commit war crimes”? #Trumpland #USFascism

“We know that unchecked electricity demand increases are such that half of all the electricity consumed in #Dublin and Meath today goes to data centres.” #ClimateEmergency #Ireland

This is the key for me. "AI" enthusiasts will read this and say "see, even critics admit it's useful". That would be a profound misreading—the point is how powerful institutions encourage/compel people to compromise their professional and ethical judgment, and how we need to fight those collectively

Pam Bondi and Donald Trump may think her firing gets her out of testifying to the Oversight Committee. They are wrong - and we look forward to hearing from her under oath.

Eirgrid is asking (cannot tell, I assume) datacentres not to immediately disconnect when theres a millisecond-long fault because "the sudden simultaneous disconnection of a sector that accounts for 22 per cent of all electricity used in the State risks destabilising the entire grid"!

If you are collaborating with another researcher on a paper, it is now essential to discuss and agree on your AI usage policy before any writing gets done.

It is really, really wild how persistent and prominent this remains in common LLMs. There seems to be an air of "well they fixed that" and it is 100% not true: most of the energy just seems to be going towards 'being plausible enough to be accepted', ie style and not accuracy or truth

Oh, by the way, we're skipping April Fools this year because we are already living in the Black Mirror timeline. Thanks.

The *majority* of philosophy papers now cite at least some empirical data. Papers that do purely a priori philosophy are in a minority

An accident during a PhD revealed an interesting line of further research - hibernating bumblebee queens can survive being underwater for at least a week! “They combine underwater gas exchange with anaerobic metabolism. That flexibility is what allows them to survive these extreme conditions.”
