Thinking about that time in Japan, when Nintendo was undergoing hard times, its CEO took a pay cut himself rather than layoff the companies' talented workers. That's some exceptionalism I can get behind.
I'm sure there's 1000 fired employees pleased to see this display and numbers pushed so prominently. Shameful.
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
unmute, this is 100% right
A tomar por culo, nazi
La fantasía y la ciencia ficción son géneros menores para los señores con pipa, pero cuando llega la hora de la verdad son los géneros que alzan el puño contra el totalitarismo mientras los escritores DE VERDAD están hablando de sus fantasías sobre zumbarse a la vecina

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me

This one is worth it.
First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson, the "Hidden Figure" that sent man into space
A photo of Vanessa Wyche, director of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil service member
Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.
And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history
image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.
One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire.
One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.
We didn't deserve this day.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Whoa 🤯
The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”
An Italian court just told Netflix the price hikes it pushed from 2017 to January 2024 were unlawful, ordered refunds, and said some users could get up to €500 back.
Imagine opening the app and finding out the plot twist is consumer protection.

“Copy Moon joy” #Artemis
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
A view of Planet Earth in which the brown and green land is seen dotted amidst the blue sea. Some white whispy clouds roll across the hemispheres. The bottom right of the outline of earth is glowing from the light of the sun. The outline of the Orion window is faintly visible in the photo
PHOTO OF THE DAY: Perhaps of the greatest photos ever taken.
Captured by the crew of Artemis II this morning, looking at all of us through the window of the Orion capsule. The outline of the window is faintly visible in the photo.
Breathtaking.

A diagram showing the path of the Artemis II mission around Earth and then out around the moon and back. Below, text reads Artemis II's journey to the moon, day by day across 10 days
Highlights from the first half of the Artemis II mission include entering high Earth orbit on day 1, setting a trajectory toward the moon and back on day 2, practicing flyby procedures on days 3 and 4, and entering the moon's gravitational influence on day 5.
Highlights of the second half of the mission include traveling behind and photographing the moon on day 6, continuing experiments on days seven through 10, and reentry and splashdown on day 10.
NASA’s Artemis II mission is aiming to launch in less than three hours! If all goes smoothly, the astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft are in for a packed 10-day schedule as they journey around the moon’s far side.

Las casas son para que la gente pueda vivir, no para especular y forrarse robando el salario a los trabajadores.
Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.
You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.
