No, they are cordless, I bet.

Dark matter is clearly composed of car keys

Every party has that one person nobody wants to get stuck talking to. Can’t find that person? Have a seat, I have some bad news

If donald trump and rudy giuliani were both engulfed in flames and you only had one fire extinguisher…. where would you hide it?

All depictions of the Odyssey, a fantasy story, should be historically accurate. So they should look ancient Greek (blond, buff) and talk like ancient Greeks (BBC British).

It's a kitchen table issue for anyone with a soul and a gram of empathy. Unfortunately, some have had to sell their kitchen tables on FB Marketplace so they could buy some gas. I loathe everything about the GOP and Trump and Justice Roberts.

Zelensky has decided to allow Russia to have a parade in Moscow. This is top-level trolling.

I created SallyScope, a tiny Julia package to analyze signals from Saleae oscilloscopes. These USB oscilloscopes are awesome at acquiring mixed signals, but the ability to analyze analog signals is limited. Exporting as binary is easy, however, and SallyScope takes it from there. #julia #hamradio

"Thinking of Cornflowers" Question: could I paint quick watercolor of field of flowers without following ref photo and without drawing & planning? Answer: not so much. But fun to try, and I learned some things. #art #watercolor #watercolour #landscape #floral #nature

Those who have known and loved the central library at UCSD will like this, but I didn't get to know it in this painted state.

🎉 Today is my birthday! 🥳 If you'd like to help me celebrate, here's a list of charities working to make the world better that could use some more support. 🫶 www.astrokatie.com/birthday

Canonical (source of Ubuntu) is currently being DDOSed majorly by an Iranian linked organization. So it seemed like a good time to do a long delayed OS upgrade on a home server. Worked like a charm. Those guys at Canonical have their heads on straight. Nice work on the resilience planning!

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! It is Katie Mack's birthday. She has a request. Happy birthday Katie!

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

I have to say that the *worst* recruiting presentation I ever made was at Stanford. The students came for pizza, had no interest in any presentations and expected to be offered senior staff and executive positions even though they hadn't finished a degree (and were clueless). This article fits.

Doug Ford canceled Ontario’s Starlink contract with Elon Musk and banned all US companies from provincial contracts in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canada. “It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable economic attacks on our province and country.”

Sixeen Tons, new chorus: You pass out 19 tons and what do you another day older and your dosimeter's red. What does "surplus plutonium" even mean, anyway? www.reuters.com/business/ene...

So the orange one is now talking about nationalizing an airline. Of course, true fascists just get cronies to buy things for them. That's the theory that Mussolini laid out in Fasci d'Azione Rivolucionaria when it talked about a dirigiste economy. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-w...

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Here, I made this for my newsletter a few months back. Feel free to share with any Cabinet members you know.

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

Hey Virginia Get up and go VOTE YES today

Being rich is not a viable air defense tactic. It just means that you have more to lose. A certain President has always been insulated from consequences by the appearance of wealth, though, so it makes no sense to him that somebody who is rich can still get bombed. Who knew?!

Smart glasses for people who don't care how dumb they look. At least the Meta team could meet the miniaturization targets.

This TinyGo release is a very cool one because of how much pent up content there is in it. I have been using TinyGo for some $dayjob work for a bit and I really love the blend of Go transparency with hardware grittiness. To steal David Moon's quote, you can really feel the bits between your toes!

Just a quick reminder that today isn't just Earth Day. It's also the 112th anniversary of the Ludlow massacre when a private army attacked a tent city of striking workers in Colorado. That's what happens when the super-rich can do anything they want. #labor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_...

"Waiting for the train at Interlachen" I still struggle with complex landscapes but fun to try. This watercolor shows Aare River across street from train station in Interlachen Switzerland. 9x12in med quality paper by Canson Schmincke pigments #art #watercolour #painting #nature

Among the many reasons for Viktor Orbán’s defeat were the rural clubs where citizens relearned democratic habits. @galbeckerman.bsky.social on the role of the "Tisza Islands" in the Hungary election:

Quick plug for @tinygo.org If you are doing embedded software work, tinygo is a really excellent choice. One of the great aspects is that the community is very approachable. tinygo.org

He just didn't realize that there was a thriving market for corners in the inner city. That's the place where everybody really just wants to find a quiet corner to sit down in.

Bank of America is trying to make sure their customers can't be part of class action lawsuits ... or much any lawsuits. Happily, consumers can still opt out of these one-sided changes. I have. My guess is that you should as well. #banking #consumers #consumerprotection #classaction

This is a concentration camp.

Here's an essay on how wage and wealth imbalance is evidence of a labor monopsony. A monopsony is where there is only one buyer (or a few). Would corporations notice if a whole lot of people started looking up the definition and pronunciation of monopsony? #labor #union www.npr.org/sections/pla...

This really does feel like how russian propaganda videos feature a recurring cast of randos

-When faced with credible allegations of sexual misconduct like Swalwell, Democrats resign. -When found guilty of sexual assault 34-count convicted felons like Trump are elected by Republicans to be president. -Democrats demand good, Republicans celebrate evil. Just ask the Pope ...

This is a really good essay by Kyle Kingsbury (@aphyr.com). It highlights the serious issues of AI development. aphyr.com/posts/417-th...

I mean, it worked for Charles de Gaulle.

If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.

Trump has become synonymous with corruption and in an election where a major issue is corruption (as in Hungary), an endorsement by Trump is an admission that you are corrupt. Orban and kin can't see that because a fish can't see the water they swim in, but the people of Hungary could see it.

We just raised a glass to the messages that the people of Hungary have for fascists there (and everywhere): The power of people united is unstoppable

I’m Team Pope Leo. And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece? This is repugnant.
