Not to get too political, but I find it convenient to live on a planet with a habitable climate
Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
literally the entire skillset that causes you to be able to "ask the right questions" is what we call "expertise". you cannot just flail around in the dark and hope to be able to out-perform a person that actually knows things bsky.app/profile/mcub...

Infographic showcasing proportion of female scientists and engineers across EU countries.
On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the women shaping the future of science 👩🔬
In 2023, women made up only 41% of scientists and engineers in the EU. Denmark has the highest representation of female scientists and engineers (50.8%), while Hungary has the lowest (30.7%).

As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

It was a pretty cool camera at that point in time! And honestly its ergonomics are amazing even to this day. If only I could find a compact flash card that works in it. Partitioning a current one doesn’t seem to work so far.

Do you guys remember this fucking bullshit lmao
