40 years after the Challenger disaster, NPR explores the engineers' last-minute efforts to stop the launch, their decades of guilt and the vital lessons that remain critical for NASA today.

On a related note What on earth is going on with those things in the wall between the baron and the guy at the right? My mind immediately went to the three shells in Demolition Man 😬

Watched The Accountant and The Accountant 2 on the weekend. The latter had one brief accounting scene. WTF

Chris Minns hasn’t quite realized that there’s a causal link between “governments being visibly-captured shitcunts” and “big protests” #sydney

With all due disrespect to Vance, I don't take life advice from nazis who fuck couches. (Regular sickos who fuck couches though, I'm willing to listen)

don't put it in your newspaper that i got mad

This 🧵. "Far from having a national day of mourning, what this event and this rhetoric symbolised was a national day of appeasement to Zionists." Just as the rushed, vague and dangerous 'hate speech' law was the Albanese government delivering for Zionists - not the nation.

Come at me, bro,

I just thought everyone should see this

Something I’ve been meaning to announce…

It took a year, but Quamina now has a full regular-expression capability, so I released 2.0.0. https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/01/20/Quamina-2.0 #golang #automata #opensource

"We kill enemies": Spy firm Palantir secures top Australian security clearance - Michael West michaelwest.com.au/we-kill-enem...

@fastmail.com y'all ok? I checked your status page and it looks fine, but I'm getting endless spinny circles of doom in the Fastmail web UI :-( and looking in Inspector it seems `api.fastmail.com` is unreachable. Same when testing with `curl` my internet otherwise seems fine

Little note in the new Bill on Hate Speech Good thing there will never be a Minister who acts in bad faith when they go about banning groups.

As usual, all the (Make America Go Away in this case) hat options I can find are too small for my unreasonably big head, even when they do offer “extra large” sizes This is a curse :-(

Wild. Also, guy needs to read up on organizing. Kidnapping your customers ain’t it.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

And the worst part is half the time you can’t even blame them

Dumbass previous owner of my flat redid all the kitchen cabinetry pretty recently and *still* installed deep cupboards that I can only see into if I literally lie down on the floor. ALL storage below bench height in kitchens should be drawers. No exceptions. I will die on this hill.

Saving Ian’s safe advice for some future time when I return to Norway in winter to see the aurora. A quiet hotel room, a personal software dev project, and some properly cold weather This place maybe. Big windows for big views, and the locally-raised lamb was incredible. Or Inari, Finland.

Oof, right in the gut

Also, this goes to show that Leica rangefinders still have a place in photojournalism because there's no way he could have successfully made that toss with a Nikon Z9 or Canon R1.

If you Spotify just dont They don't respect artists at all

Not the worst idea ever for sure

Amazing support for the legal fund for Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah $68k out of $100k raised in just over 24hrs. Almost 1000 supporters. Give if you can. Share if you cant. #auspol

I have a feature request. I think we should all be given one veto per day and we get to exercise that veto by deleting a single post of someone else's of our choosing.

It's funny because if this was something like installing PT priority at traffic lights, or building protected bicycle infrastructure, state/local govt would spend months upon months mired in public consultation only to say "nah, we won't because some cafe owner had a sook about traffic/car parking"

Every time there’s an attack the words “lunatic, sicko, psycho” get thrown around. “They must be mentally ill” is a go to mantra of the ignorant and some in the media. Mentally ill doesn’t mean terrorist. I’m so sick of censoring what I say in therapy due to “would this look bad if read in court”

oy @albomp.bsky.social listen up

rip in advance to Scott "Mr Dilbert" Adams who is perhaps most famous for writing a now-deleted four part blog post where he attempted to hypnotize his readers into nutting and asked them to email him after they have nutted to tell him about the nut. www.tumblr.com/manlethotlin...
