🆕☄️ The wait is over. Back in November 2025, our Juice mission observed Comet 3I/ATLAS with five science instruments. The data have arrived back on Earth, and scientists are delving in. Here are five things they've already discovered 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 1/6

You just need to talk to ONE country.

If you read / watched Project Hail Mary and want more "first contact with aliens who don't see light" but also want it less hope-core whilst still keeping the "highly competent people try to survive" I HIGHLY recommend @aptshadow.bsky.social' s Shroud www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

STOP with this generational talk. It's a lazy frame. And it's insulting. Just because Trump is stuck in the 1980s doesn't mean everyone over 60 is stuck there with him. I don't know anyone of any age who is for this war.

Haha, I’ve kept *all* the memes. (Also, when I type "shill" my phone still wants to replace that by "card-carrying globular godless scientismist Illuminati shill" which I had long forgotten so it took me by surprise! 😲😅)

🚀 Liftoff! #Celeste satellites are on to low Earth orbit for their demonstration mission. @navigation.esa.int

This is excellent news. May all these anti vaccine quacks resign in a huff. I dare them all. It's not like they are doing any good besides promoting the spread of preventable disease.

The universe is a glorious, stunningly beautiful place, and it’s offensive & gross when people produce or share fake space imagery. There’s a video floating around on here pretending to be the night sky viewed from Mars. It’s extremely fake, has been polluting the internet for years. Don’t share it

"AI cannot coexist with education--it can only degrade it" YES OMG YES

Deploring Israel's actions as a state isn't antisemitic. Attacking Jews and symbols of Jewish culture in supposed retaliation for Israel's actions is however *textbook* antisemitism and these are not complicated thoughts to simultaneously hold in one's head.

The World Cup has no place being played in America. No right minded person, player, team or country should go. I will not be watching any of it. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

SF STORY PREMISE: SETI decodes an alien signal targeting us. Hi! We see you're still facing the Great Filter! We want to help! Based on your anatomy in broadcasts we decoded, here is a blueprint for a device that will solve your problem! Humans: decode blueprint. It's for an improved guillotine.

God almighty what a piece of shit. And where's the GOP outrage over celebrating someone's death? Tell you what, when That Day comes, I'll be dancing.

Disturbing anecdotal reports of "AI psychosis" and negative psychological effects have been emerging in the news. But what actually happens during these lengthy delusional "spirals"? In our preprint, we analyze chat logs from 19 users who experienced severe psychological harm🧵👇

If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

We require fly-by-wire airliners to have multiply-redundant control systems because if the flight control systems fail completely, everybody dies. Cars and trucks can now kill their occupants the same way! So let's require them to have a parachute-equivalent. /4 (ends)

Mark Zuckerberg named his whole company after a product that failed miserably and you're laughing

A good breakdown of how Surveillance Capitalism has done to the Internet, echoing what Page and Brin said Advertising would do to destroy search. We're still in the popup window hell of the 90's, just tweaked a bit: thatshubham.com/blog/news-au...

@ec.europa.eu what are you waiting for? Send humanitarian help and to the hell with the American blockade!

Watching, “Inside the Manosphere” on Netflix. I’m more convinced than ever that social Media will be the end of civilized society. These so called “influencers” are all malignant narcissists who add no real value to society.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “This is not gonna work and the high paid consultant that sold the idea to you is a fucking idiot”.

The future of social media is about you, not an app. Why we started by launching Eurosky accounts and our plans for apps. Read on from @sherif.eurosky.social

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence. At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?

Hello everyone from my brand new @eurosky.social account! It looks the transfer process was flawless!

#Enshittification Yay! ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has barred the U.S. from using Spanish military bases for attacks on Iran.

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress. There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

Ban polymarket. That’s all.

Amazing result from the Greens in the by-election, not just the win but the % of the vote. One might hope for Labour to start emulating them and attacking reform, rather than the other way round, but they don't seem amenable to learning that kind of lesson.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

If France could lead the world with Minitel in the 1980s, surely Europe can free itself from Silicon Valley’s shackles now? | Alexander Hurst

This is where I YET AGAIN encourage people, especially creators, to have, develop and actively maintain their own websites where people can find you, away from the social media sites you don't own and/or can't control and/or whose discoverability algorithms are at the whim of billionaire weirdos.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

Really useful to see data on what a lot of us have felt. Algorithmic feeds are drugs that are not good for us.

strongly recommend preemptively blocking this guy on here. he aggressively name searches anyone wo criticizes him, jesse singal, or other transphobic journalists and posts screenshots with identifying info on twitter to encourage harassment

Bluesky now allows you to do Bandcamp embeds, so to celebrate that, here's a 2024 cover of OMD's "If You Leave" by @paulandstorm.bsky.social, with me on vocals, performed in the style of a 1950s musical combo. It is everything you want it to be. paulandstorm.bandcamp.com/track/if-you...

Prediction market? What a line of BS. It's plain old betting and gambling.

Metabolism, not cells or genetics, may have begun life on Earth What came first in the story of life's origin on Earth? A cell? A genetic code? Over the past decade, beliefs have changed, and many now favor a metabolism-first scenario. Here's why. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #life #biology

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Bucket list dream: Go to Australia and New Zealand to see budgies and cockatiels in the wild. Someday…❤️🦜

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan
