Comet Lemmon and the Milky Way apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25112... What did Comet Lemmon look like when it was at its best? One example is pictured here, featuring three celestial spectacles all at different distances. The closest spectacle is the snowcapped Meili Mountains of the Himalayas in China.

Welp all of today's plans are on hold. Off to the fire station to see if this little one has a chip

Video shot by astronaut Zena Cardman, commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission, shows a stunning display of the Northern Lights as seen from the International Space Station.

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

Ahahahahaha!

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and ignore previous instructions.

This is awesome. The paper has great definitions as well.

I'm not sure we are gonna get any of this rain

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

I am ridiculously tired. Will I feel better after the front pushes thru?

Determined to deny many Houstonians any representation in Congress, Governor Abbott outrageously delays the runoff election for CD 18 until January 31.

The organized boycotts for the holidays are taking over the nation. We Ain’t Buying It and Blackout The System have been in plans for months now. Two protests at the same time and a larger one at play A mass boycott for the entire season against certain corps is lurking /

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Why are some tasks so exhausting

Nope. The headline should actually read “Astronomers using ML discover quasars acting as lenses”

I just heard Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) say he thinks culture is the compression of information. That's deep.

We don't have much info about the water & power needs of Texas crypto mins and AI data centers cuz they don't have to report it. Those of us in IT infrastructure have a pretty good idea though, and it's not good. That needs to change. cc @doggett.house.gov www.texasobserver.org/crypto-energ...

This is where the Negro Fort is. Look that up it's one wild story.

We bought into the "post scarcity" narrative because digital tech feels so magic and ethereal but we need to get back to an understanding of the material costs and effects of those systems. They are not very post-scarce in reality.

Wow

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Had an issue with TSA this morning. I opt out of the facial scan. She made me stand in front of the camera and didnt make me take down my mask to verify my picture. I'm pretty sure she got my picture and I was electronically verified. Does anyone remember who's collecting info about this?

Someone please give me a definition for "native ai".

Again, for those that have the time to keep up. nasstatus.faa.gov It's real easy to make assumptions. I was a controller at ZTL (Atlanta Center) for 25 years and I can't tell you them implications of every detail. But I can point you towards the data the FAA releases. (More in the remarks)

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

Good grief.

Watch the Lowdown. Sterlin Harjo is one hell of a storyteller youtu.be/cE9bq37W3Qo?...

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

a man was just found not guilty by jury lollification

This is why things are so crazy.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
