I thought “thou shalt not kill” was a pretty clear instruction direct from God in the religion I assume he was proselytizing.

As expected, and perhaps intended www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/w...

Such an exciting time to be alive.

bsky.app/profile/fox9... Sounds like it was at the request of a delegate

This sounds like hyperbole, but the Duluth News Tribune's @jimmylovrien.bsky.social is the only one I could find mentioning the *insane* fact that the MN GOP moved for an actual moment of silence for the police officer who killed George Floyd, props to this reporter

It’s kind of disturbing to think about how Google *could* have made AI useful by using it to generate a list of links to the pages (and sections of pages) that answer the question asked, and it would have been just as easy…

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

I have to wonder how many of their students kept a collection of all those “good bits”.

One of my favorite books is about how the supposedly pacifist Swiss are actually one of the most armored societies on the planet, by the inimitable John McPhee.

“Some of it will go ‘to the troops’.” is an interesting euphemism for “none of it will actually go to any troops.”

Literally impeach him just for this.

It’s really unfortunate that TERF misrepresents those people as feminists.

Whenever I see it, I hear it read by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

it is part of why “you’re the racist for calling me racist” is legible. what they’re saying is, “you are the mean one for insulting me and even noticing race to begin with”

Eight hours! Genre-non-conforming fiction about running away and finding a new home, one that might want to eat you. One that has plans and doesn't care what you think of them. One haunted by the not-yet-dead. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hig... Pledge your backing until 11pm!

📊 Tens of thousands of studies depend on it. Every major drug pipeline uses fluorescent reporters. Shimomura, Chalfie, and Tsien shared the 2008 Nobel for making "the previously invisible, visible." All from jellyfish on an NSF grant. #YourTaxDollarsAtWork

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.

She promptly escaped to the Los Angeles underground where she survives as a soldier of fortune…

Happy Brian Harvey Day if you’re celebrating.

Huge amount of daily newspaper output for years now has been “I relentlessly behave like an abysmal arsehole about absolutely everything, and nobody pats me on the head and says Well Done”. Or, alternatively, “I was acting like an aggro dickhead and people told me to fuck off, it’s totalitarian”

Nothing much happening. Just chillin’ with the toaster. This is a picture of my dogs. #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #DogsOfMastodon

Drew a thing. Took a week. Almost managed to make it look like how I feel AND how I want to feel.

Jackpot, the book, has been on my mind much of late. Jackpot, the concept, has also lived rent-free in my head since Mr. G so helpfully clarified it years ago. 😬

And another one. “These are unprecedentedly strong responses in patients whose disease has become resistant to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy.”

It’s the end-point of a worldview that says everyone is an asshole, and you need to be an asshole to survive, and that the world is governed by secretive and evil cabals. You can’t trust scientists or doctors, because they’re trying to sell you something. Thus, cancer isn’t real.

Don’t worry though, there’s no way that any of the two hundred plus people killed by the US military, sometimes clinging to their destroyed boats, could have been innocent of the vaguely defined crimes the government hasn’t even bothered to accuse them of before having them extrajudicially executed.

US military strikes another boat in Pacific, bringing death toll above 200

320 ppm when I was born in 1964, now over 430. I remember trudging to school in deep snow in Coquitlam 50 years ago; this past winter there was officially no snow at YVR, and only one day with a bare sprinkle in Coquitlam. www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

NEW: The Trump administration's DOJ has been systematically removing materials from its websites regarding the many indictments and convictions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In response, @lawfaremedia.org has been systematically restoring them:

I remember once Bill Clinton talked to the Attorney General at an airport and everyone said that was a big deal. And he wasn’t even President anymore.

I made something fun for the grass touchers and computer touchers, both alike in dignity for anyone who has looked at a post with 200+ quotes and thought 'gee, sure would like to know if my mutuals had anything to say about this. guess i'll never know'

Leo has ~300 already launched, Qianfan's got ~500, Guowang has ~200, and Starlink has 10,000. 65% of all active satellites (in any orbit, not just LEO) are Starlink satellites.

There's currently four of these LEO satellite "megaconstellations" in progress: Amazon Leo: 3,236 sats Qianfan: 15,000 sats Guowang: 13,000 sats Starlink: 12,000-34,400 sats.
