I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

No words

We’re no better in Canada. Post-secondary institutions have been defunded so much that in the last 10 months, 12,000 permanent faculty members have lost their jobs, plus countless, unreported adjunct and non-permanent faculty members. www.linkedin.com/posts/kenste...

#vscode is a PITA currently... :( Cell edits don't appear. Files set to read-only mode randomly. It's not saving me time currently to work with the agent mode. :(

some late of the day pick me up energetic work music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrHQ...

Today I showed the designers that you can name cells in spreadsheets and use the names in formulas (i.e. "=PLAYER_LEVEL" instead of "=C12"). You can then use the Name Manager to track or rename them. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess not, so sharing that tidbit here.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supports my mission to show Ukraine to the world. This week’s gratitude for you – my travel diary from the palaces of Vinnytsia region, little-known, non-touristic places in the heart of Ukraine: www.patreon.com/posts/travel...

For researchers in Canada and the USA 👇 Online info session about ERC research grants, on Wednesday, October 15th, 2025 at 12:00 noon ET (9:00 AM PT, 6:00 PM CEST). The meeting is free but advance registration is required. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/worldwide/no...

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

Sad to see the University of Washington Astronomy Department has suspended graduate admissions for the 2026-2027 Academic Year. astro.washington.edu/graduate-adm...

I need people not from Portland to understand that a majority of the escalations happening here are the direct result of the far right grifting machine. They are another arm of the fascist regime and have been manufacturing content and spreading lies to manufacture consent. It's as simple as that.

Obviously @hugovk.dev did a lot of work on 3.14, so I also pressed a few buttons and released 3.13.8 😅 discuss.python.org/t/3-13-8-has... #Python #Python313 #release

See that small, moving splotch? That's 3I/ATLAS, a comet that formed in a different star system, photographed from Mars orbit by the ESA Exomars Trace Gas Orbiter. A comet from a DIFFERENT SOLAR SYSTEM photographed by a ROBOT ORBITING MARS last Friday

"Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this." The latest from former U.S. surgeons general Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello and David Satcher:

Please don't vandalise @wikipedia.org. It's one of the most useful resources ever produced. Don't deliberately damage it. You might think you're just having a laugh, but you're making the encyclopaedia worse for everyone else, and wasting the time of other users who have to tidy up after you.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

some cool electronic working music stuff on youtube these days. like this midnight bug fixing lofi track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7jX...

In this time of continental dismantling of #PlanetaryScience, @openplanetary.solarsystem.social still exists, so @coop.planetary-research.org. Apart from a new Diamond OA Journal, there is also solarsystem.video. Soon to include @europlanetmedia.bsky.social 2021+ Winter School content.

Stay tuned, little white dot coming to a screen near you very soon 😜 We've been working on: ↘️ downloading data 🧑‍💻 processing data ✍️ explaining data #3I/ATLAS

one can trigger Moom (v4 !) actions using an Elgato Streamdeck! Now go and have some fun (sorry to ruin today's productivity... ;) )

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

“Uhh, the Americans are doing this… so should we!!!” ;)

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Sorry it took me so long to grade your August 20 assignment, Avi Loeb. Are you sure you're ready for a class on comets? You might need to learn about things like bow shocks and chemistry.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is planning to hand over major shares of TikTok to his billionaire pals. Understand this: Trump-friendly billionaires could control even MORE of what you watch — all while lining their own pockets.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Trump will try anything to get the Nobel Prize for Home Invasion.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

far too mature people have named the standard file for cumulative indexes on the PDS. #ifyouknowyouknow ;)

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Delighted to see that this year's Ig Nobel Physics Prize is about the phase behavior of Cacio e pepe sauce. Paper: pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/arti... Pop Sci article: phys.org/news/2025-09...

Disney is updating its content. ;)

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

After Musk’s “fight or die” call for violence to right nationalists, how can NASA still do business with SpaceX??

dang, they lost the hulk, aunt may, and mr fantastic

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Oh snap.. ! ;) m.youtube.com/watch?v=_GXN...

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

My Disney+ Hulu subscription ends on the 24th. I think I'll watch #Andor again for good measure. Cancelling had to be done. Free Speech is the foundation we as Americans stand upon. #Kimmel.

Jimmy Kimmel Has Supreme Court Precedent on His Side. He should sue the Trump administration. A divided Supreme Court left little doubt that government “jawboning” of private media companies to silence speech was prohibited by the First Amendment. apple.news/Ai0X6kYdLSkm...
