i do not know what a labubu is. i ask u to respect my family’s privacy in this trying moment

The piss tank on the ISS is now 50% full.

ok, one take. i think centrist media will never defeat right-wing media. (a centrist candidate may or may not; is not my point.) centrists will never be as ruthless and will always cede ground to the right in an effort to appear balanced and reasonable, and the media consumers will follow

Independence does not mean neutrality, a view that we must continue to hold even as the authoritarian crazies are converging towards it

Solar panels now cost peanuts (under 10 cents per W) in most of the world. Carbon dioxide emissions in high-income countries are now falling, and there's reason to believe other countries will be able to develop much more sustainably than those did. ourworldindata.org/grapher/annu...

OK, a🧵: Our new paper studies workers' political consciousness in times of class demobilization. We show there's more to workers' politics than right-wing resentment. Listening to workers, we reconstruct their moral critiques of money, power & recognition. Link journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Para mandar a la mierda a los Trumpistas hay que tener autonomía energética, y la única forma que tiene Europa de hacer eso es apostar hasta el final por las renovables. www.euractiv.com/news/intervi...

Te dejo este video para cuando tu cuñao José Ramón te vuelva a decir que, si no los matan, los toros se extinguen.

Thousands of women are sharing this and saying yes, this was their experience, many of them sharing their own horrific 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s experiences. (And almost everyone sharing it appears to be female.)

There is another path for you, and it is the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and reading dense non-fiction books about how notable bridges were built

Sun Hα, 8x disk + limb mosaic, 6700x6700px (~57cm at 300dpi), remastered from 2 week old capture. This is the best Sun Hα shot I have so far. Feels like squeezing the final performance drops from Coronado PST, which is ostensibly visual only instrument, ha! I mean, Hα!

This writer must be having the most batshit day

Wrote a long-form analysis of Spain's political juncture for @phenomenalworld.bsky.social. I look at the limits of economic growth, tensions between decentralization and redistribution, corruption scandals, and the effects of the NATO-EU rearmament drive. www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/gro...

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Never ask a man his age, a woman her salary, or GPT-5 whether a seahorse emoji exists

I finally understand boomers avocado meme. "Boomers bought houses at a time when saving a couple of pounds per day taking a packed lunch to work would give you a house deposit in eight years. For a millennial this would take two centuries." martinrobbins.substack.com/p/waspinomic...

the amount of time that some classes of computer users (programmers in this case) spend having to work around their operating system is astonishing

These are the things that make me proud to be British 🫡

This is a GREAT conversation with @wingolog.org of @igalia.com about WebAssembly both through the years and now. I was struck by two things: 1. how the conversation is why wasm isn't that successful in the browser (when in fact it's wildly successful, but only for apps that load once: endor.dev)...

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Never say "It couldn't happen here". There are people in high places actively trying to make it happen

"It’s the most American thing I’ve read maybe ever: A man, sitting alone in his car in Tallahassee, proffers his entire being to a Jew from Galilee; the interstate his River Jordan, America his Levant, Cracker Barrel his temple. How gorgeous and absurd. Did the Gentle Carpenter hear him? If not"

Check out the graphical abstract for a paper recently published in Ecological Modelling. I have papers published in Ecological Modelling. Never again, I guess.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

Internacionalismo climático. ¿Quién no lo querría para sí? Esto va a estar muy, muy bien.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Tom Cartwright's incredibly comprehensive ICE Flight Monitor project will now be led & supported by Human Rights First. This seems like a good thing–I'm amazed he did so much for so long without more help.

this is a very funny question, i would not want to fly between my places of residence. given a voucher for five houses to be spent on me, my choices would all be within 100-150km of where i am

First and not very successful Moon 8x mosaic. Mis-configured the mosaic planner, so incomplete disk was captured. But this theoretically allows 7K pixel wide disks! With more shots and 2x resampling, up to 14K pixels wide? Gotta try it next. Downsampled to 2K here for preview:

I think it's time to give up the idea that Capital only thrives under liberal institutions.
