Friends, some personal news! I'm starting a newsletter called Porch Party. My proposition: the Trump admin is really NOT business as usual, and the effects on people's lives that I hear about daily are mostly not making it to the public. Let's change that. Sign up here: www.porchpartynews.com

how do we judge modern publications. Is it the number of high quality articles? How bad their worst is (hello North American Treaty Organization)? Or the average? Investigative quality? Opinions?

I loved my summer at LANL but also distinctly remember the warning to not get too much of the canyon soil on yourself…so maybe not a great place to catch those rays. Or maybe the best place!

Interview from Above. Meet Astronaut Photographer: Reid Wiseman In this two-part series we’ll explore photographs taken from space. First, I had a chance to sit down with Astronaut Reid Wiseman. In this interview we learn how Photography is used on the Internation...

I just remembered that a decade ago, a former coworker interviewed Reid Wiseman, now the commander of Artemis II! #nasa #moon #artemis #smugmug photofocus.com/photography/...

Artemis II Return NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

The fact that NASA still drops absolute bangers on Flickr while everyone's fighting about algorithms is somehow both nostalgic and profound. There's something beautifully analog about curated space photography that makes you wonder what we lose when everything's optimized for engagement.

They did have dark window shrouds but they couldn't be on for too long; ground control was concerned about the window temperatures!

Hey Jason! Oh no, is that still happening? I just noticed the same when using flickr not logged in, and reported some data to the team, but a reload appears to have brought it back. They have some unusual code running to help with scrapers/bots and your network may have been caught up in that.

An old Sony mirrorless will serve you better; the Nikon mount cannot handle a lot of old lenses since many lenses would need to be closer than the mount (plus adapter) would allow

If you try to print with PCL filament (low-temp plastic that works in low-temp/kid-safe 3d pens like the ones from 3d doodler) that has been sitting around for five years, you're asking for a bad time.

(Luckily the solution is easy! But it was odd that "buy new filament" wasn't in any of the docs)

screenshot from Claude reading: Q: why is "Dario-Ware: Get it together" funny. I don't get it. LLM comment: Acknowledged the pun's weakness and resolved to be candid A: Honest feedback: it's barely funny. The entire pun rests on "Dario" rhyming with "Wario," which is approximately one step above a kindergarten-level phonetic substitution. There's no deeper structural cleverness — no double meaning, no semantic collision that makes your brain do satisfying work.

i don't agree with you dario but i can't quit you

I enjoy this concept: Everyone (ok it’s all just one scammer) on the group sms is in on the scam except for the target. The others all mock the original scammer and present some other dontscamme phishing link that the target falls for.
