Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

It's always funny what gets left out of "tradition" and "the West"

Mesopotamia: Reams of poetry written by a trans woman, epic about trauma, grief and failure.

Greece: Queer loss and the futile brutality of war, societies brought to ruin by aristocratic pride. Also everything Sappho wrote.

@alexanderquon.bsky.social I was just reading some CBC stories from the past year and all the best ones had your byline. I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the great reporting you do here in Saskatchewan.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

Adam is right. The story is never/has never been told by mainstream media as “Iranians murdered by American and Israeli bloodlust.” It’s always passive voice. It’s always allegations. Innuendos. Suggestions. God forbid the paper of record hold the powerful accountable for their crimes.

Influencers are promoting peptides for better health. What does the science say? The latest wellness craze involves injecting these molecules for athletic performance, longevity and more. Scientists say the research isn't keeping pace with the health claims.

I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what

LB: a friend once told me he had “unconventional” musical tastes. Intrigued i asked his fave genre. “Classical” he told me.
I may have laughed in his face and told him something to the effect of “its classical because its been popular for hundreds of years. How is *that* unconventional?”

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

Pokopia really keeps the ball rolling. That flow state 🫟

Maybe you don’t actually have a first amendment right to steal things from other cultures just to study them. Wild thought but just putting it out there

this game is exactly what I thought of when I saw the image.... those darn flamingo floaties!

Store aisle shelves stuffed on one side with inflatable ducks faces the other, stuffed with inflatable flamingos.

some shit is about to go down

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like

This guy is going around saying people don't understand innovative tech

“When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen”

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

By the time it's all said and done, Trump and his cronies will have murdered more people than any regime in history by war, disease, famine, and environmental destruction.

Really not looking forward to physio tomorrow…. I have to tell him i fell *again*, worse this time, so I’m weaker than last time and in new pain 😖
He’s so nice and I want a good grade in physio!

Kind of wishing the Y2K bug did destroy modern technology after all.

Mind you these workers are specifically Kenyan workers who are made to view and annotate the absolute worst things created by man and machine for extremely low pay and absolutely no support or care from Meta for the trauma they endure every day at work

the official position of the Republican Party is that your tween daughter is too young too decide to be your tween son, but is fully capable of making an adult conservative your son-in-law
