As recently as 2010 I was hearing experts worried coal would be economically unbeatable for a century, but clean tech cost went down so much that coal is in a death spiral

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

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.

If these corrections were ignored, GPS positioning errors would accumulate at roughly 10 km per day, making it useless within hours. The fact that GPS works is a continuous, real-world experimental confirmation of both Special and General Relativity.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.

Happy Earth Day. Show me your vids. Cedar Waxwing having brekky. 🪶

There are large networks of journalists who use private group chats to coordinate and promote anti-trans and (to a lesser extent) anti-gay beliefs and stories. The one or two group chats that got exposed are the tip of the iceberg. Jesse Singal definitely helps coordinate multiple of these.

Did you see the comparison images showing the jet's motion??

What about their Second Amendment rights? www.latimes.com/california/s...

nothing is real

Don’t forget the basic research that made it all possible. Ozempuc originally comes from discoveries from Gila monster venom. Let’s stop the attacks on basic research, and enable the discoveries of the future. SamForNJ.org

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

this equally describes so many dudes

Now that’s what they call a deus ex machina.

This is an incredible thread for Median Understanders #stats

Discussions like this are fraught but it's important to stay grounded factually as social media erodes our sense of reality.

Do not give Molly Shah money. Do not give money to anyone Molly Shah suggests you give money to. Do not give any money to accounts "verified by Molly Shah" In fact if you see Molly Shah, hide your wallet.

How your email finds me:

I recently tried to buy a product from a company that clearly uses a lot of AI. The experience included them not sending my order, randomly sending extra orders, and then falsely trying to lock me into a subscription I didn't request. It was a disaster.

I noticed Moonbrew is presented as a case study for some tech company called "Aftersell" that promises business they can "upsell" customers into subscriptions. They boasted that Moonbrew had a "100% increase in post-purchase revenue by switching to Aftersell."

If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

This healed me

Oscar Isaac (bearded) is a substantially better actor than Oscar Isaac (unbearded)

...what the fuck am I even looking at?

My 6 year old has been in school longer than the confederacy lasted so anyone claiming it as part of their heritage is claiming THIS part

I’ve started including speeches against the civil rights act and things so students see that the arguments really haven’t changed that much, but also pointing out that the point of protest is to get arrested because you’re challenging the state to enforce it’s incredibly unjust laws.

This is an incredible achievement, you have to give him massive props

All of us, with our obscure interests and knowledge morsels

Just finished ALIEN and man. You couldn’t make this movie now. Most of the cast is dead

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

you will never guess what this is a response to

Pet your dogs, everyone, and appreciate that they have no idea what is happening in this fucked up world.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Let’s also not go crazy with saying he “chickened out” if he doesn’t escalate things.

Picked a bad week to give up eating 55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes, 100 tater tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees, 55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas, 55 peppers, and 155 taters

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I can't stop staring at these photos. This is what Earthset looks like—our homeworld setting behind the Moon. And compare the dark, cratered surface of the Moon to the blue oceans and swirling clouds on our own planet. If there's a starker illustration of our lifegiving world, I've yet to see it.

No joke. She literally yelled “SHAME!” As she yanked the gun from a dude in the Korean Army and then broke through the locked congressional door to vote.

Trump is about to start a nuclear war. But a singer I've never heard of said something about the US being stolen land on awards show that I didn't watch. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Artificial gravity generators will do more than help bone density

Requiem for a Dreamsicle

On second thought I am withdrawing my comparison to fan fiction. It was entirely unfair to fan fiction writers and I apologize.

Members of the minority party file bills they know won't pass and call for things they know the other party won't do all the time. That's the job! Impeachment is not some special exception where you can't say it until you have the votes in hand.
