Trump: - Starts war without consulting allies - Screams at allies for not joining the war - Creates oil crisis - Crisis damages allies’ economies - Insists allies release strategic reserves because this is all unfair to US farmers. 🤔

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

This frames the total solar eclipse of the Sun of August 12, 2026, as seen from northern Spain, from: — the early partial phases at top, — through to totality at centre, — and then through the final partial phases with the Sun with the eclipse still in progress. Tech details in Alt Text.
Technical:
This is a blend of many exposures, taken with the same lens and without moving the camera. The lens was the Canon RF70-200mm f/4 at 70mm on the Canon R5.

The partial phases were through a Maven solar filter, and from 1/160 to 3 seconds with frames selected at 3 minute intervals. The final setting Sun was shot without the filter. The partial phases are layered onto the main image, which is a blend of:

— A single 0.8-second exposure at f/4 and ISO 200 for the sky, ground, and longest image of totality. 

— Onto that base image is blended a stack of 6 exposures for the corona, from 1/80th to 0.4 seconds.

— This stack was blended onto the main long exposure of the corona with a luminosity mask. 

— Then a short 1/320-second exposure taken at the start of totality was layered in and masked to reveal just the red prominence on the left side.

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: My confidence in my understanding of the scientific theory. 

A diagram where the confidence is marked in red on an otherwise white figure


Panel 1
"Before I got a book about it."
The figure is red up to about his stomach

Panel 2
"While I was reading the book."
The figure is reading a book. He is red up to his forehead.

Panel 3
"When I had finished the book." 
The red level has dropped  to around his mouth

Panel 4
"One week later."
Now it is at his chest.

Panel 5
"When I try to explain it to somebody." 
The level is back at stomach level.

Panel 6
"When they ask a follow-up question."
The red is so low we can barely see it.
