tech ceo: we regret to inform you that the torment created by the Torment Nexus is the fault of the depraved author of beloved novel DON’T CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS

I already knew this, and I already do this, but this post reminded me that it isn't necessarily common knowledge so I'm sharing it to raise awareness.

NIMBY means, “I want its benefits, but won’t tolerate its difficulties,” e.g.homeless shelter, incinerator, municipal dump, airport runway. Anti-data-center is frequently anti-AI altogether. It’s saying, “This isn’t valuable, we don’t want it at all.” So there’s a big difference.

Study finds that students using chatGPT learned and remembered less than students who did not use it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

Jacquelyn Gill dropping knowledge! There are a myriad of factors negatively impacting the free and public education that our youth deserve, and most of the biggest ones are outlined in this thread.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.” The most corrupt regime ever.

An acquaintance and I were climbing down from Longs Peak in the Rockies, suddenly a storm blew over from the other side of the mountain. We scrambled over boulders in the wind and the rain, climbed through "The Keyhole" and took shelter just as lightning was starting to strike on all sides.

Post a picture of yourself as a doctor

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

People who don't like traffic should stay home.

Green ink is better than blue or black.

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

I was watching the Artemis 2 live stream when I looked out my window and saw a different rocket moving across the horizon!

Some lunar vocabulary in case you're following along with the #Artemis II flyby: * albedo: reflectiveness (high albedo=very shiny) * mare/maria(plural): from Latin for "sea," dark regions on the Moon, which are dried lava basins * terminator: the line of the transition between sunlight & darkness

The Artemis II launch as seen by NOAA!

I have a noble gas joke but it wouldn't get a reaction.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I have an urge to make a playlist of songs from two decades ago for...no particular reason. To start it off, "Hands Held High" by Linkin Park. youtu.be/Iil2Qqxaq3o

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Post old memes to confuse young people

This is important y’all. This is our chance to save the stars.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Days are longer naturally—no need for Daylight Saving Time!

Big applause for the SPHEREx mission team for receiving the Explorers Club's 2026 Sylvia A. Earle Award for Exploration Excellence!👏👏👏 The award recognizes the mission's accomplishment of completing the first infrared map of the sky in 102 colors. 🌈🔭🏆 www.explorers.org/ecad-2026-awardees

It’s like if Teapot Dome, Watergate, Kent State, Credit Mobilier, and Iran Contra had all happened in the same week.

BREAKING: Whistleblower disclosures reveal a formal ICE policy to ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.  Every American should be terrified by this secret ICE policy authorizing its agents to kick down your door & storm into your home. 1/

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

please do not bring your phone to a protest

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Perihelion plus a full moon? Looks like it's tidepool o'clock!

I was looking forward to both of those... but yeah, we don't deserve them unless we get our shit sorted out on a timeline that, at this point, would feel miraculous.

well uhhhh those sure look like Chinooks over Caracas, large if true

You know what they say... "New year, new way to get upstairs."

Folks who aren’t in the space world won’t understand but let me say this—the magnitude of damage this administration has done to NASA and science research has set us back decades. It will take many many generations to get us back to where we were before Trump. And that’s assuming it’s funded

If I'm being honest, I can almost guarantee I would never have seen this segment if they hadn't spiked it. Let's hear it for the Streisand effect!

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
