I'm sometimes critical of cable news TV but this is programming I can get behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhm...

I still want an EV. But we only drive about 5000 miles per year. Pennsylvania has imposed a "road user charge" of $250/year on EV owners, which would be nearly twice what I pay in gas taxes now. And without the externalized costs of pollution. Make it make sense. Why do we subsidize fossil so much?

Kodacolor 1000 film developed... Taken with Olympus OM-40 & 50 mm lens. Three vertical images stitched with hugin panorama software. To compensate for the age of the film - guestimate more than 20 years - exposed as ASA 250. Came out very very grainy. Will post more #olympus #film #photography

In our region we are counting the cost of the recent extreme precipitation events. The economic impact is huge! www.gardenroute.gov.za/2026/06/11/1... #ClimateCrisis

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Solar power is now cheaper than coal, oil, or natural gas. The biggest barrier to widespread solar adoption is Public Utility Commissions that protect the utilities at the expense of the public

The Zimbabwean spaza owner and the Mozambican labourer next door are not the authors of your hardship. The non-delivering mayor is. The councillor who cannot keep the roads paved or the water running is. The municipal manager who gives contracts to connected friends and family is.

The mind is beyond boggled. At what point is someone going to say something? If you see something, say something has become totally toxic?

Afrikaner "refugees" are crowd funding the cost of instruction for drivers' licenses so they can get to the food banks in Akron... ...and conservatives that support the program are *peeved*

They're gonna try their hardest to normalize this. And I can get why; video game consumers yelled and complained about phone-home DRM, day-one DLC, a lot of consumer-hostile shit. But in the end, they bought the games anyway and eventually just got used to it. Frog-boiling works.

‘The other, far-more-harmful source of Skynet-style AI doomerism comes from executives who are keen to not only market their software as more capable than it actually is, but are looking to scare lawmakers into passing regulation they get to write and is favorable to them.’ By @karlbode.com

@timmehjimmeh.bsky.social and I are increasingly finding that our company's anti-genAI stance is a minority view in the local ad and creative industries, and I had a little yell about it on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/jesswe...

Education is not a "commodity", it is a public good. Universities aren't "businesses", they are public services. The sophomoric, austerity-mindset, consultancy-brained Tories have so much damage to answer for.

Not saying you should consider this...

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

A new day. #OMSystem #DXOPhotoLab Sunrise in a Riviera street. Braved the cold this morning to snap the morning sun coming through the trees. Tempted to go again and take a smoke bomb...

Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 8 June is the start of Week W and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Water. So let’s see your pics of water in any shape or form! There’s a lot of it about so this should be an easy week. Use the # below and have fun😊

Do the count, if you please. @realfollowers.bsky.social

You can't be complaining about Trump abuses AND support the indirect white washing. Do not support FIFA. As long as you do, they will continue.

Listened to the Bushbabies chirping in our trees. Neighbours cut trees, I plant. Who has the Bushbabies?

We seem to have gotten a new cat. Called you little duckker*. Or maybe an existing critter got renamed in the heat of the moment? *It's never duck.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Installed solar last October. Hit winter. Charging dropped below what we wanted it to be. Five panels later, I can now run electric heaters during the day and have enough for the night.

The reign of dinosaurs ended 65 MYA, IN THE SPRING. How do we know WHICH SEASON it was when the Chicxulub asteroid hit the Earth? Because the PADDLEFISH bore witness. Let's talk about it. Paddlefish are among the most ancient lineages on Earth, with fossil evidence from 125 MYA.

The cost of Solar panels and batteries has come down massively over the last 2-4 years. We should have these systems everywhere! Oil is a necessary evil, for now. But we need to rapidly move to renewables everywhere.
