The fact that our leaders can’t get together and say “hey, literally everyone (including the leaders at these companies!!) want this to happen more slowly so how about…you can’t build an AI data center unless it meets requirements including zero CO2” is embarrassing.

I believe that in order to take some small step forward, the word “bird” should be replaced with “saur” in all common names. Mockingsaur. Secretarysaur. Red-winged blacksaur. HUMMINGSAUR

Universal basic income is not science fiction. It should exist for everyone. There's enough to make it happen.

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

when morpheus was like you can take the red pill or the blue pill, he was actually just talking about nyquil and dayquil. not many people know this

I specifically love our neighborhood because I can count at least 5 religions and even more nationalities just within our two blocks. The cooking smells are as amazing as the music and we actually do share similar values - of being a good neighbor.

Congratulations to Hungary! Excellent news that makes my family in Czechia a little safer, too. Fun fact, I met Orbán a couple times through my job right at the beginning. And I’m happy to see him go.

ORBÁN CONCEDED

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

Yay for science!

Awesome job.

also just have to keep reminding myself how incredible it is to see all these women in leadership positions at NASA Nichelle Nichols you will always be famous

And there's Reid Wiseman! The commander has left his vehicle and all of them are out on the front porch.

Just a reminder that we can fund science, and save the earth, and feed everyone, and have health care and housing too. All those things are within our reach, together.

I'm moonscrolling

Science is good. We should fund it.

humans are so fucking cool

I grew up in the original Bataville, a company town built in the 1920s from a village of 3000 to a “Garden City” of 50k workers of the Bata shoe empire. The houses are still there, as is most of the infrastructure - the schools, the hospital, the cinema, the film studios - all built around Bata.

Recession indicator: second hand fashion market prices are hitting low lows. I just saw a Wildfang shirt (good quality, small-is brand) that retails at $85, $60 if you catch a sale, going for $14. People are desperate to sell, and nobody is buying.

The exchange between the Artemis II crew and astronauts onboard the International Space Station marks the first time a moon mission has called an orbital habitat

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Astronaut and #ArtemisII mission specialist Christina Koch - the first woman to ever leave low Earth orbit - looking at our planet from outer space. An iconic and historic image.. 🌏✨

Social media en toto is losing relevance + utility. We will not see another "global water cooler" like peak twitter again in the medium-term. This is not specific to Bsky. Threads has a broken algo AND the worst of the griftfluencer class. These are just the times we live in. New things will emerge

Okay. This is a much better quality from NASA's site of Earth. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

You share data center attempts (or concentration camp attempts), I share @interruptcrim.bsky.social 's Block It! toolkit, I don't make the rules* www.interruptingcriminalization.com/block-it *yes I do

Seriously it’s like there is a giant chunk of tech people who don’t understand that when you’ve learned how to write, you feel proud, you look forward to doing more of it, you cheerfully neglect your other work just so you can write more

Aaand the Artemis II crew is officially in space!! First up post-launch is @nadiadrake.bsky.social's excellent preview of the 10-day mission: www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

For the first time since I was 5 years old, humans are on their way to the Moon. I’m a kid all over again. #ArtemisII

What makes me hopeful is that, as long as we're here, we're not gonna run out of opportunities to build a better society. And, actually, the worse this society gets, the more opportunities we're gonna have to turn towards each other. We're all we got and that's only gonna become increasingly true.

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

Today I got called Auntie by one of our neighbors, saw a pair of quail and randomly remembered a Lakota song I learned from a friend in Czechia more than 20 years ago. I also brought home eucalyptus leaves that smell like blackcurrant.

This video is so good!! You will learn so much and also you should hype it (if you know what that means) youtu.be/MSYQf-iRiz4?...

I always think about CJ Pascoe’s “Dude, You’re a Fag.” If white boys are taught that friendship is trying to out compete and humiliate their friends to assert their masculinity, then of course they can’t be emotionally vulnerable with their friends.

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

"People don't suddenly understand everything at once" is an important point, too. We too often think of consciousness raising (as we used to call it) in religious terms, like divine inspiration or revelation, when it's actually a learning process and often very challenging.

I'm so tired. Israel is one of the most evil countries on the planet right now and Jewish people are individuals with a wide variety of thoughts and feelings and I, for one, am not confused about the linkage between antisemitism and every other form of racism, especially Islamophobia

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

Through two years of consistent 2x daily walk I developed a pretty extensive mental directory of the local dogs and humans. It is also how I built my local connections and a few full friendships.

Excited to be here for the "you thought Paul was Luke Skywalker but actually he's Anakin AND Palpatine" era.

"California is pledging to put 7.5 million acres under tribal stewardship in the state’s first-ever tribal stewardship policy." Absolutely *phenomenal* news & essential. We need this, across Turtle Island, fast. We don't time. But WOW. What an amazing thing to see in my lifetime.

Exactly why ghost cities exist. If you manufacture a city, it will fail.
