SPARK 4 more rocket experiments a little nod to one of my favourite rocket designs ever :-D #space #rockets

SPACE NUTELLA

Reminder.

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

I haven’t seen it much here but over on Threads there are A LOT of posts like this and honestly same.

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

Really want to register a .md domain. Really do not want to pay that much per year for a single vanity domain.

1, a Space Odyssey

watch the free youtube stream instead 🥰

(Sometimes people just need to demonstrate that they don’t respect your boundaries. And those people should not be welcomed in polite society.)

For me this thread forever remains the condensed essence of Mastodon bsky.app/profile/numb...

I mean they DID, just not by that name and not in male-dominated spaces, so. You know.

So to sum up: - LinkedIn does browser fingerprinting, which is bad - But they aren't "searching your computer", which is impossible - This whole thing is a data harvesting company throwing a tantrum because LinkedIn blocked their scraping

This is the thing that made Bluesky what it is, and it's what we need to fight to keep. We owe it to the trans and furry pioneers who gave us this place.

We’ve all seen the standard of their code at this point, I think we can safely say they are full of shit. •hand to ear• I’m being informed that was true before they leaked their own codebase.

Not because it is easy but because it is hard

Oh suddenly they care about copyright

until now I would have said that LLMs produce median-quality work, not high quality, kind of by definition. but this isn't even median quality, it is way below that

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed.

This is very funny but it's also yet another reminder of the fundamental misalignment of this site's leadership and its core user base, which I imagine will cause legitimate and potentially existential problems down the road

In retrospect this is very funny

OpenAI's Sora and Meta's metaverse were shuttered the same week. Both were defined by an aesthetic that embodies Silicon Valley's current project: to undermine labor, replace art + lived experience with digital facsimiles, and extract value at any cost. And users recoiled at the mere sight of them.

Rowling? Living. Gaiman? Living. Musk? Living. Ellison? Living. Give them money and somebody gets hurt. It's really that fucking simple. "But what if" nope. They take your money and do hideous shit with it. They sow misery and grow fat. This isn't about art.

I’m getting fairly bored of straight white cisgender affluent men not being “interested in politics”.

As a small publisher whose professional life has already been disrupted multiple times by the avarice, caprice & sheer idiocy of the tech industry, I can't tell you how excited i am to learn that I'll likely have to decamp to yet another online space soon if I want to scrape a living Cheers Jay!

Don't forget the clocks go forward tonight, as they do every night, pitiless and unstoppable, silent witnesses to our inevitable decay.

Is it because, as the head of communications at the ASI, you're essentially paid to Joanna?

Still one of the greatest troll-jobs in history.

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

This is the web we're fighting for.

'AM I BAD?' is a grand and cosmic question that is well beyond our scope. fine. here on the ground, the DAY TO DAY effects are that your actions contribute to hurt and suffering in small or large ways, and those who hurt and suffer because of you are allowed to not like you because of it. SORRY BUD.

Mr Benn goes into a mysterious costume shop and puts on the outfit of a massive sellout happy to do a comedy gig for a murderous regime because money.

“It’s clear that user feedback is influencing Microsoft’s moves around AI on Windows... The Copilot rollback is just one of the changes being made.” Keep it up, haters🤗 techcrunch.com/2026/03/20/m...

Once a year I ask my students to imagine a red star. It’s cognitive psychology and we are about to talk about whether “imagery” is the same or different from “perception”, but first, I like to check in on what our class experience when we imagine something. Friends, the results NEVER disappoint!

“We used to surf the Web.” ❤️

Whether you think it’s appropriate or inappropriate to revel in someone else’s death, Trump here has given you his personal permission to celebrate his passing. If you used these exact words, literally no Trump supporting Republican would be able to criticize you.

“because the reason the piece-of-shit AI loves an emdash is because it stole all our work, and all our work features a lot of goddamn emdashes. It doesn’t use emdashes. We use emdashes, and it stole our work and then mimics us. Emdashes and all.”

perpetual reminder that Neil Druckmann, based the conflict in The Last of Us off his anger about Israeli soldiers being killed, the ‘border’ architecture in the game is based off the West Bank, and Naughty Dog has exploited some of its devs almost to death

Over 15,000 civilian sites have been destroyed in Iran and 1444 people killed 30% of whom are children

I used to tell my clients to never answer a yes/no question from opposing counsel with anything other than a yes/no because testifying at length can lead to problems. I would still say that if I were practicing law today. Unless my client was Afroman. He can go crazy, man. bsky.app/profile/solo...

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Dune's tragedy is that they keep letting men adapt Dune when they don't understand this meme is actual factual true lol

Your mobile phone exists because of software I wrote in the 90s (seriously). That hardware exists because of another trans woman. The book on how to do microelectronics was written by a trans woman. Loads of the internet is kept running by trans women. Rachel, THINK FOR ONE SECOND

A century of soft power squandered in a year by the stupid, spoiled son of a Klansman.
