We have a genAI president

Scientists are worried about the melting of Antarctica's ice sheets and what it could mean for sea levels. There's a two-month-long journey underway to conduct research that will better explain what's happening. https://to.pbs.org/45WdVPh

We could not see an Aurora Borealis tonight, but a bit of stargazing in the cold with the kids was fun.

If you love Edgar Wright, you're going to loooooove The Running Man. That movie is 🔥 all the way.

Split Fiction has one of the most incredible final level of games I've played. It's bringing back a lot of the gameplay mechanics from previous levels, turning them to 11 and then doing some very surprising visual tricks

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

Also, one young group IS becoming more "religious": incel-type white men, who are transparently using religion as an excuse to behave egotistically and violently—especially towards women. It's a flashing red light for everyone else.

Powerful solar activity released by the sun is heading for Earth and it’s likely to create dazzling auroral displays in unexpected areas Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. It could also disrupt satellite-based communications and GPS accuracy. https://cnn.it/3ZjtHA2

Has anyone offered a Cameo video as a birthday gift? If so, how happy were you with the result? (I imagine it's highly variable depending on the talent)

Have you met the Wikipede? In another universe, maybe it has been Wikipedia's logo for over two decades. Community members submitted many designs, proposed changes, and debated them openly 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

What’s a comic book costume you know is terrible but you love it anyways? OG Kitty Pryde This design is so absurd but perfectly encapsulates a young teenager trying to find themselves through fashion.

Blacksky @blackskyweb.xyz now has its own servers running the network This means they're able to run their own feature development and moderation policies, while still connecting to Bluesky through the shared Atmosphere network! s/o to @rude1.blacksky.team and the blacksky team for amazing work

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

It was inevitable.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

The behind the scenes on the last episode of The Pitt shows the gap between the current administration and science. It takes an insane amount of knowledge, study, practice to get to that level of medical procedure. Meanwhile RFK Jr is making up stuff based on parallel universe knowledge.

Take a break and enjoy 5 minutes of Yo-Yo Ma: youtu.be/BJVC4WGYcZ8?...

Meet Yuriko, who brings knowledge from the past into the present so more people can learn from it #Wikipedia25

Arsenal was meh today, but benefitted from Man City losing. Seahawks were awesome. 15 wins during the season and 14. Sports are unpredictable!

From Nuuk, Greenland:

Hat trick for Walker! It's fun to mix the sport terms

Perfect representation of the political situation in the US Right: killing over 72k people is not genocide Left: them words

Not Charbonnet :( GO HAWKS

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Andor was a textbook

This hits on something that a friend said to me that I think is absolutely right: people who are not grasping the gravity of the situation & meeting the moment, where politicians have utterly abandoned us, are doing it because of the fear of confronting that there are no guardrails anymore.

A crazy amount of heat has accumulated in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the past two months. Hold on to your hats when this reaches the surface with the next El Niño. Y-axis shows depth, X-axis shows degree longitude (one degree equals 111 km) and colors temp anomalies. @noaa.gov PMEL data

Meet Joanne, who noticed an influential historical woman was missing on Wikipedia and took action #Wikipedia25

Incredible piece of Search Engine Optimisation

Season 2 of The Pitt is not playing around

I worry that people are relying too heavily on the fact that all this is unpopular in the polls. Most autocrats are unpopular with their people. Once you control every branch of government, muzzle the press, and start murdering your own citizens with impunity, you don't need to be popular.

We're so back, baby!

Have you ever watched something disappear while it is still there?  Fix your eyes on a point, and stationary images in your peripheral vision may fade after a few seconds. This illusion, called Troxler’s fading, was first described in 1804 by Swiss physician Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Moving day.

New 1️⃣5️⃣ job milestone added 🥳

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope." The power in any conflict lies not w/ the person who initiates, but w/the person who responds. "Thanks for sharing your perspective, you may be right." And move on

Every year I look at my carbon footprint to see if I can change things in my lifestyle. Global average is 5tons, American average is 10 tons and needs to be 2 by 2050! Yes, the #1 priority is to stop the fossil fuel industry and #2 is to change agriculture. carbon-calculator.climatehero.org

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

The critical part: "Humans aren't really people who can be trusted." It's especially true in the current environment. The failure of thought is that the people who made "Julia (AI)" are those people too.

So this is terrifying. Please don't give this person any kids www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
