As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.

Discovered the majesty of the York Minster cathedral last weekend. Also noticed that some architectural elements are very slightly off center. 🤔

Y para evitar estas cosas es por lo que hay que dar la brasa con fightchatcontrol.eu

In the UK for the weekend. 🙄 Anyway, Signal still works and the countryside is beautiful.

The Effelsberg telescope is big. No, seriously big.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

It would be a shame if the group trying to remove Native Hawaiian preference from Kamehameha Schools was spamed with negative feedback for being Anti-Indigneous because we support Hawaiian Sovereignty... .https://www.kamehamehanotfair.org/

Yay! Mineral Cup is baaaack!

FUCK YEAH COLORADO, thank you

<hands on knees> whew. I was late to join the Pritzker fan train, but I’m here now guys. Solid.

Bluesky is dying, science edition... [Narrator: Bluesky is not dying.]

Life is like that.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Nearly two dozen states have passed laws regulating how tech companies collect data from our faces, eyes and voices. It comes as Congress has yet to pass any facial recognition technology.

Every time you use ChatGPT or something like it, you’re helping to train an algorithm that is actually being developed to do things like this

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

uhhhh

I love wine pours in Cape Town restaurants. Solid third of a bottle in the glass. <chef’s kiss>

Univ of Cape Town still has the most stunning campus views. Not shown: the view of the sea from the astro dept library. 😍

My AltStore Source is live at smanthasam.github.io/bskyms/alt.json

Offshore wind is the most important ocean based climate solution, not marine carbon dioxide removal. I’m so angry.

The galagos/bushbabies are back today for talks+discussions about galaxy environments and simulations.

Currently attending a ~35 person workshop on HI in galaxies, at a venue just outside Kruger Nat’l Park. Today we had four special attendees in the rafters: lesser galagos, or lesser bushbabies!

Live from hotel in Kruger: tonight’s new experience and close call was a baboon 🐒 peeing from the tree above us at dinner…and only getting hit by a couple drops from the splash. Quite a beginning to this workshop on gas evolution accretion and feedback in galaxies. 😅

earth science at NASA includes improving hurricane and wildfire prediction, just so you know

This goes for scientific articles as well! 🧪🔭

Astrophysicist Margaret Burbridge was born 106 years ago today. In 1957, she co-authored the groundbreaking B2FH paper which proposed the modern theory for how new elements are made inside of stars, then went on to work in galactic analysis. #WomenInSTEM #AstroSky #HistSci

It's official! Last week Sweden official became SKA Observatory's 13th member state! www.skao.int/en/partners/... 📡🔭

One of the worst things about driving is other drivers. One of the best things about cycling is other cyclists.

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

We have awarded a new education grant through our STRIDE program. Space Science for Youth in South Africa is a professional development program for Girl Guides South Africa (GGSA) staff and volunteers. It is additionally funded by The Center for Radio Astronomy and Technologies, Rhodes University. 👩‍🔬

There is a compound word in Swedish for "moose accident"! "älgolycka" = älg (moose) + olycka (accident = unlucky = o + lycka).

I wish there was a badger in this video so hard. 🦡🤣

Big day for the matriarchy! 🥳 Huge congrats to the awesome Prof. Doughtery, lead on the Jupiter-bound ESA JUICE mission & STFC Exec Chair. If anyone's confused on the astro royal hierarchy: Michele and I are the astro equivalents of 🇬🇧Westminster and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Holyrood 🤗 ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 👩‍🔬🔭🧪

Flying to Tenerife for a PhD thesis defense tomorrow. Anyone else admire waves on the ocean from above and see a poorly calibrated radio image? No? Just me? So many baselines to go back and flag. 🤓

🤯

Congrats to England, and to Sarina Weigman who is now 3 for 3 at the Euros! #weuro2025

Okay, let’s hope everybody practiced these beforehand this time. #weuro2025

Helsinki (pop 657,000) has not had a single traffic death during the last twelve months. poliisi.fi/-/helsingin-...

Fiiiine, apparently half my readers enjoy an info dump, so here we go! Grasslands Sequester Carbon Too or “Why trees are not the be-all and end-all.” Ahem. *takes a sip of water*

Cornell Dairy Bar FTW! Go Big Red!

The focus on the 1970s and 1980s is a historiographic choice. I do want to point people to the achievements at the 95 Beijing Conference because in the decades that followed, governments around the world rolled out paid family leave policies and the outcomes in Beijing supported that process.

Nice paper. Also, excited to see folks & other projects using software I wrote! ☺️ If you like the images featured in the QP & want/need to make your own from radio/(sub)-mm spectral line data, I wrote a package to do it. It’s had a few recent upgrades: github.com/kmhess/SoFiA... Hess et al 2022.

Bonus football! #weuro2025 I’d really appreciate it if England didn’t leave us in such suspense again.

This is absurd. The red supergiant Betelgeuse is the bright feature in this image. But that darker blue splotch is a *companion star* that's just been discovered—and it orbits so close to Betelgeuse that it's inside the larger star's outer atmosphere.

I found a non-exhausted list of Indigenous radio stations that you can donate to in order to keep them afloat after the defunding If anyone has a better list, please let me know, and I will happily repost it (I couldn't find anything on here)
