“Trump declined to say whether he sought congressional approval before launching strikes on Venezuela and seizing Maduro, the New York Times reported.”

Here's a statement from Venezuelan opposition leader and recent Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, in it's original Spanish and with an English translation (machine translation).

Time might be experientially linear, and subtle panic grows exponentially lmao

“In a lot of these cases, hardware is just a means to an end,” Sag says. “If the UI is clunky, it doesn’t matter how the glasses look.”
Dang, it’s almost as if user interface designers serve a purpose, despite what the seemingly 90%(I’m being hyperbolic) of the tech community on Blind like to say.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Agreed. It definitely surprised me at how weird the whole thing was. I was not expecting macabre Weekend at Bernie’s element to the events.

Hahahahaha truly I don’t know how a smooth transition would even work here. The hard pivot was incredible 😂👏🏻

Weird Little Guys by @socialistdogmom.bsky.social is podcast perfection but this line especially had me choking with the “anyway so back to…” of it all. Hahahahah podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Flawless execution of a restoration. No notes

“The content is all too often bad commodity content. It's boring aggregation with no voice and no wit and no new angle.“
So much of mainstream Dem influencer content reads with the same cringe-inducement as B2C brands using memes.

Very telling that Chorus boss BTC and creators named in Taylor's article are attacking the messenger and not the message: and mark, how none of them have targeted WIRED, which stands by everything in the article, which was written in accordance with the high journalistic standards they're known for.

Tragic news for my bedtime, incredible news for my nap time

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.

Oh I cannot wait to read this one

The first speaker of the inaugural Open Source Journalism conference is Christo Grozev (who suggests the name #CitInt as a possible term for this type of work: Citizen Intelligence). @christogrozev.bsky.social

we have moved rapidly from “this loser never would’ve made it through the background check for a security clearance” to “this guy’s laptop is a crime scene”

Hey babe, I’m going to go take a nap on the crustaceton

The unbastardized night sky without light pollution.

“The truth is, however, that there is nothing very “normal” about nature. Once upon a time there were no flowers at all.” Loren Eisley

Many things about Oklahoma frustrate me, but Black Mesa State Park and its lack of light pollution and human noise almost makes up for them.

I’m not proud of myself but frankly, I was yelling”bite him” :(

Not sure what’s stranger, the Action Park feel to the whole submarine situation or the absolutely out of pocket tweets from the stepson. Chaos. Absolute chaos
