While Ukraine has clear military reasons to target Russian command centers, striking ground stations risks leaving uncontrolled assets in orbit. A major collision blind spot in LEO/GEO is a hazard that threatens everyone, including Ukraine. 👇 www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/ukra...

While I appreciate President Trump’s attempt to render homage to the Boston Tea Party by dumping tea in the reflecting pool, he probably shouldn’t have used matcha.

🧵 When it comes to AI vs. human labor, some feel safer than others because they believe their jobs can’t be done by AI. I urge them to add a “yet” to that. There is no human creation that isn’t a reprocessing of what’s been observed from our universe. 1/5

As I read @jennifermattson.bsky.social’s piece on Canva’s hirings, published yesterday on @fastcompany.com I found confirmation of how companies are already leaning towards prioritizing specific soft skills over hard skills. How long before AI does the talent scouting? 👇🏼 bsky.app/profile/davi...

Space Is the Best Offset Strategy www.satellitetoday.com/opinion/2026...

The cosmic humility perspective is what, for many people, replaces religion. Knowing and accepting that you don’t know, that you’re here and now but also fleeting and minuscule, is grounding and provides space for comfort, because hope lies in uncharted territory.

Roskosmos,a Russian space agency,started placing ads on its rockets because it doesn't have enough💰 Since the beginning of 2026,Roscosmos has placed 6 advertising stickers on its space launch rockets Rockets launched from Baikonur carried advertisements for PSB Bank,the “Coffeemania”restaurant chain

I've been helping my wife turning her blog content into YT videos, obviously with the help of AI. This is about #MentalHealth / #Disability advocacy, no profit. Here's the first video. #BlueDragonAdvocacy youtu.be/KEGvCwGARHE?...

Started the morning watching reactions / analysis videos on YT to Eurovision's #Romania entry (Alexandra Căpitănescu - Choke Me), my favourite song by far in this edition. What all these videos have in common is "goosebumps" from Alexandra's vocals.

In the "TL;DR." age #AI can be used as an impressive "presentation layer" for your content. I've been feeding my recent essay on AI extraction of cognitive value to NotebookLM, and here's the debate that emerged: drive.google.com/file/d/1uiPo...

Trump is killing the strategic alternative that Taiwan represents.

The importance of a molecule that can trap and transform CO2 at room temperature, without the need for extra energy, cannot be overstated. phys.org/news/2026-05...

🧵AI regulation focuses on privacy, but we’re missing the bigger shift: AI-mediated cognitive labor. As LLMs face "model collapse," human input becomes the essential "Biological Anchor." It's time to treat users as stakeholders, not just products. drive.google.com/file/d/1GwRs...

One day, the Shabana Mahmoods of the UK will realize they just can’t win over the Reform electorate. ​Deporting their parents won't work. ​Deporting themselves won't work. ​As what's acceptable shifts, the bar just keeps moving higher and higher... And for this, they have themselves to blame.

As our technological level continues to improve, we’re approaching a societal maturity test: we either learn to coexist and work together or we stop evolving. Our challenges are already global: access and usage of space, its resources and our orbit, climate change, the energy crisis, pandemics, etc.

🧵The unique position of the Pope in countering dictators: The Pope isn't just a spiritual leader; he is a sovereign head of state. He cannot be fired or co-opted by a president or a king. Without the Vatican’s independence, the Catholic Church would likely face the same fate:

When it comes to #LEO debris cleanup the current “design for demise” approach treats the atmosphere as an “infinite incinerator”, which it is not. It’s basically turning the “cleaning up LEO” problem into a cleaning the atmosphere problem. We need Circular Space Economy ASAP.

🧵 Everybody knows “The boy who cried wolf”. Now, imagine for a moment that the wolf is a particularly clever one, and that deliberately triggers the boy but without actually attacking or leaving evidence. The effect would be the same: no one would believe the boy anymore. 1/2

BREAKING: Donald Trump has nominated yet another one of his personal lawyers to oversee the prosecution of a personal enemy. How are there not 1,000+ major-media reports on how Trump has made the most powerful law enforcement agents in America *people he is in an attorney-client relationship with*.

Still looks better than Rome without strikes.

Draft-dodging president tells US servicemen and women who recently risked their lives to conduct a combat operation: "Better you than me, that's all I can say."

RU has plenty of nukes but it's unlikely that they'll be used. On the other hand, it needs support in its war effort in Ukraine. Enter Iran and North Korea. I wouldn't be surprised if a few nukes weren't in Russia anymore. Deterrence still works if no one knows they're gone.

Confidence is extremely important in leadership and careers, especially political ones. Unfortunately, confidence is often more based on lack of awareness rather than skills (see Dunning-Kruger). This results in a lot mediocre, overconfident people raising to power.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

There is also a far more sinister reason, which is to test his power and the loyalty of the military in being used against American people. Expect more tests, pushing the limit further and further into a full dictatorship.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The same dynamics we saw Andor’s Ghorman arc are happening in California. Trump needlessly involved the National Guard, escalating things and hoping for clashes that he’ll use to justify invoking the Insurrection Act or martial law. He’ll make the clashes happen.

Abandon attempt to out-Reform Nigel Farage, thereby losing votes to the left; focus on protecting people in uncertain times, not from "the boats", but poverty, illness, lack of services, low quality education, climate breakdown.. Simple lesson for UK Labour from these elections.
