A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

OH. MY. GOD.

Three smiling transmasculine athletes stand arm-in-arm on a rocky beach. The person on the left wears a black and white cycling jersey reading "BODIES ARE NOT BANS," black cycling shorts, and holds a transgender pride flag draped over their shoulder. The person in the middle wears black swim briefs and has a finisher medal around their neck. The shirtless person on the right has multiple tattoos, wears black running shorts with a small trans flag patch, and is holding up their finisher medal. The individuals in the middle and on the right have visible top surgery scars. ​The logo for the publication "them" is in the top left corner. Large white text overlaid across the bottom of the image reads: "A Transmasc Ironman Trio Won Third Place in a Relay, Beating Over 200 Other Teams by Mathew Rodriguez".

When trans masc athletes start winning competitions regularly, they'll ban them too and use the excuse of "doping" to do it. That blows up their whole "biological sex" argument though.

Did my husband write this article

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I've got this malware proof-of-concept cooking, but I haven't been able to summon the energy to actually work on it. I'm going to share it with you nerds hoping someone will experiment with it.

Or no one will and I'll do it myself later on, whatever.

Either way, you can do some pretty

I'm pretty sure I've been guilty of this too, but some cases are just so damn egregious. No, your coworker who falls for Facebook propaganda is not usually intelligent and I don't need any other evidence to put that together.

Draft of a bluesky post that reads "Whenever somebody prefaces a story about how someone they know fell for the most mind numbingly idiotic shit ever with "they're [usually] very intelligent" all I can think is "no the fuck they aren't and your standards are so disturbingly low that I now have to discard your judgement on everything going forward."

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

yeah, so pretty much when you talk to an LLM (chatgpt, claude, grok) and get fancy schmancy stuff from it, youre just interfacing with a probabilistic sequence-prediction engine

each word provided to the interface (or subwords like "ing" or "un", whatever) goes through a thingy called a

Panel 1: An old, grey haired, mostly bald version of Shen is laying in bed, in a residential room, with a nightstand with a lamp on top and wooden flooring. There's a man with similar hair to him laying his hand upon the old Shen's. Old Shen says "Son ... I can feel myself passing ..." Panel 2: Closeup of the son's hand resting on old Shen's. Old Shen continues, "My ... final request ... is ..." Panel 3: Closeup of old Shen, opening his eyes slightly. "Please make a 3D model of me ... a-and ... COUGH ... make it do gay little anime dances on a screen at the funeral." Panel 4: Old Shen, resting contently in an open casket, and above him is a screen and two speakers, the screen showing him doing a gay little anime dance, and the speakers playing presumably the anime music he's dancing to. Two wake-goers are there looking at it.

I'm turning 69 in December.

I've never seen this hobby/skill before. Cool!

Do we know the methodology used to produce this?

“The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole.” ~ NASAUniverse

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

genuinely says so much about what twitter has become that the biggest rightwing grift accounts pushing US fascist narratives aren’t real people and not even close to the united states

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
