This is a good article, except for this part: "But the reason it feels like a coup is that we have no precedent for an administration treating its own government like a hostile territory to be conquered and exploited." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o...

It's cool when magicians do it. Real life is not magical. "He who lives trusting, dies betrayed."

"Reason" TV lol... I don't know if this has a name already, but I have a theory that whatever a brand calls itself (or makes its motto), we can be 80% sure that they will act in complete opposition to that name and/or motto. youtu.be/Qaw5wbOsN7w

Can't tell much due to the embargo, but Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is about to announce some pretty scary results. I fear that no one cares about it anymore and their children is about to suffer bad consequences.

I don't know if the social media is running out of content, or if the algorithms are stupid enough to show the same things over and over again, but I can't find anything that's not repetitive of something else that I've already seen. I hope it's true for everyone so we can move on from SM.

Even if you've earned $591.000 PER DAY (yes, per DAY), since the year 0 (yes, for the past 2024 years), Elon Musk would still have more wealth than you do.* Yeah... Let that sink in. * Assuming no interest or inflation.

The shittification of Turkish Airlines is mind boggling. Removing free seat selection almost entirely, only 1 check-in baggage allowed, crashing food quality, price increases in almost every single add-on as far as I can tell... I guess it's time to say goodbye. I'll miss the direct flights.

Cool, but this is one of the more useless, divisive, and robotic features of social media, as it is solely purposed towards attention and not value generation. Ground News or All Sides style multi-perspective trending news would be way more useful than "AI generated social media trends".

Okay, I'll gladly take your money. Here are the rules: 1) Produce evidence that this amount exists in your bank account and you're willing to earmark it for this challenge. 2) Have your lawyer write up a binding contract that if your request is satisfied, you'll be legally required to pay.

This is the clearest image of Antares. It's 620 light years away from us. That's 39.2 MILLION times the distance between the Sun and the Earth. And I can't take a photo of my own face this sharp from my arm's reach. 🤦‍♂️

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

I apologize for the delay, but evrimagaci.org, the largest and most visited popular science website in Turkey now has a "Share to Bluesky" option that is prioritized over most other platforms. Soon, we will start regular publications on Bluesky too (you can follow @evrimagaci.org account)!

These little but thoughtful details make the experience so much better. This is from Austria. It shows how the ruins would look back in the time. by overlaying the outline onto the actual ruins when looked from a certain angle/position.

In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown. The role of media ladies and gentlemen. #covid #covidcanada
Photo of a page of a newspaper showing the headline “one in three say COVID-19 response overblown: poll”

The article describes dozens of opinions on the overreach and overreaction of the response and mentions 50% thought it was appropriate and another 13% did not think it was overblown.
