Worth a watch even if it seems "too long".

Bsky staff is scrambling to convince ppl that today's outage has nothing to do with their embrace of ai. That's great. We should make them scramble more. The cost of replacing competent humans with AI needs to be greater on every single level for every single company.
Be open to what finds you.
Here's an idea: Give ICE's budget to the IRS. Taxes are good, and billionaires shouldn't exist.
It does not need guard rails. It needs to be abolished and the perpetrators prosecuted.
Exactly 💯
NASA reminded us all that, even in the darkest of times, our flag is still there. 🇺🇸 ❤️
This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
I *cannot wait*
Wouldn't it be cool to invest trillions of dollars into a technology that would actually make society better?
Maybe we can call it “HI” — Human Intelligence.
Instead of “data centers”, we could fund “schools”.
Instead of *stealing* art, literature, and science, we help people *create* it.
Crazy!
Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.
Representative Eric Swalwell must resign from Congress immediately. If he does not, I will vote to expel him.
I stand with the brave women who came forward to share the abuse they endured at the hands of someone they should have been able to trust: their own boss and an elected representative.

My backyard might not be in great shape, but at least I have a bunch of nice, neighborly ground bees. #macro #bee #bees #mosstodon #SilentSunday #NewJersey #spring
Creative. 🌹
Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

People on BlueSky cannot follow simple directions.
So far, none of the takes are bad.
One of the things modern Western masculinity has lost is the idea that men feel Big Emotions; that feeling Big Emotions and sharing them is part of being a man, and that putting yourself in the position to feel Big Emotions is, in a way, part of what defines heroic masculinity.
The US state Maine is poised to follow in the footsteps of the City State of Singapore, the Republic of Ireland and the Republic of Amsterdam with a data center development moratorium.⤵️

This is one of the best things I've done for my feed. You should always be able to decide if you're in a space to handle shit before you watch it.
The four Artemis astronauts embrace inside the Orion Capsule. American and Canadian flags, along with equipment and hardware are surrounding them.
This is such a great photo.
Probably the best of all the #ArtemisII photos.
Diversity, international collaboration, humanities, science, art, engineering, the desire for exploring, the drive of human curiosity, the reward of years of dedicated hard work, and just pure joy.
It's all in there.
Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...
you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
precisely my point 😆
Scientifically amazing. As a vicarious space traveler, it makes me worry for the crew.
I agree with this, but also... It absolutely brings big "stick it to hateful admin/attitude/behavior" energy just by existing
And are still fighting for equal pay for equal work.
Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country
