Bay Light are back! #sanfrancisco

This is so amazing: In 1970, the city of Paris organised a photography competition, splitting the city into more than 1700 squares of 250 meters length. Now you can browse the images taken in 1970 in this super cool/simple map, square by square! I already checked out my old neighborhood ❤️ […]

no-one's quite sure what this Western Zhou art piece *is,* but so many people said "are you sure it's not a wifi router?" that the Anhui Museum installed a working wifi access point named "Western Zhou Router" in its display case. source […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

The issue of comparison is exactly why this is all interesting, though! If NIST completely loses the clocks at Boulder, they will need to 'restart' them later by synchronizing them to some other standard like another NIST site or the Navy. The physical distance between locations and means of […]

Trump, Musk, Rubio, and their henchmen destroyed USAID -- directly causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, mostly children. The apparatchiks celebrated while bosses lied about what they'd done. I can't overstate my incandescent rage at these monstrous people […]

Not nearly as bright as other places, but I managed to capture some Aurora Borealis in northern Marin County California. #aurora #auroraborealis #sfbayarea

In terms of the statistic "Championship Win Probability Added," the 2025 World Series had a number of the most impactful plays in MLB history. https://www.mlb.com/news/most-wild-swings-of-all-time-in-game-7-of-the-2025-world-series

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch. A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out […]

Reminds of what Thich Nhat Hanh said about washing the dishes just to wash the dishes.. We've internalised so much industrial thinking, characterising literally everything in terms of input and output. Dismantling the productivity mindset is a whole process..

It's a bit surreal to be in this #LPS25 panel discussion about the future of small sats and constellations, and no one talks at all about the fact that LEO is already on the way to runaway debris at the present number of space objects […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

No Kings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d5LQs8dC3A #NoKings

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

It absolutely disgusts me that both California Democratic senators voted in favor of a law that will force the rest of us, through our bank accounts, to subsidize the monumentally corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" -- They have chosen to join the corruption, and I'll remember that.

This hasn't made the news anywhere, but if you know a small business in Canada right now that ships to the US, they are actually getting crushed by the border between Canada-USA being in absolute chaos. Tons of trucks are being sent back. Packages denied. This is absolute hell. Outside of the […]

When I started in Silicon Valley in 1986, it was nothing like this. It felt to me like it was mostly engineers who loved to build things, and management that wanted to ship great products. Those people are still around (I'm one of them, and there are younger ones too), but I feel like we're […]

Seeing Michael Rother tonight #neu #harmonia #krautrock

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.” -Elon Musk, March 6, 2025 “In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was […]

I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing on one man. Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed. It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an […]

Stunned to hear of the passing of Mike Rizzi, aka Mike Burma, legendary DJ at KALX @kalxberkeley.bsky.social One of the all time greats! #kalx

At some point we need to have a discussion about how to maximize the 1A challenges against Xitter as Elon becomes inseparable from the govt. You can't BOTH snoop through my taxes and claim your own speech--and throttling of me--is not a governmental act.
