We banned CFCs to protect and heal the ozone and now satellite constellations might burn it up again. Starlink will be burning up 2,000 satellites per year in perpetuity for its service.

A man comments to another man "ther's the guy who's always tenting his fingers." he narrows his eyes and says "must be a schemer." The finger tenter thinks confidently to himself "they can judge me" Close on his hands we see to small birds perches on his thumbs covered by the roof of his fingers." He thinks to himself "only I know it is a house for small birds."

My orphan-crushing device is legal because the actual orphan crushing is operated by one of those little dipping birds thing rather than me pressing the orphan-crushing button

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Florida’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors and many of its restrictions on similar adult care are unconstitutional. More to come at Law Dork. www.lawdork.com
XIV. Conclusion
Gender identity is real. Those whose gender identity does not match their
natal sex often suffer gender dysphoria. The widely accepted standard of care calls
for appropriate evaluation and treatment. For minors, this means evaluation and
treatment by a multidisciplinary team. Proper treatment begins with mental-health
therapy and is followed in appropriate cases by GRH agonists and cross-sex
hormones— referred to in this order as gender-affirming care. Florida has adopted a
statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically
appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional.
The statute and rules restrict the manner in which gender-affirming care can
be provided when not banned. Some of the restrictions are constitutional; others are not.

I don’t think that comics are for kids, or not for kids. What I think is that people in America have a difficult time with being normal about anything. Nobody needed to spend upwards of thirty years prefacing every discussion of comics with “these aren’t the caped crusaders of your youth!”

A man is roasting his friend Jim on a stage. They are dressed in tuxedos. Jim sits in a comfy chair eagerly awaiting his roast. The man at the podium says "Jim here is a journalist, which means his career is as dead as his recently murdered husband." Jim looks to the man at the podium attempting to laugh away the pain and then promptly breaks down. The podium man says "oh... oh hey, buddy..." Jim sobs uncontrollably into the podium man's arms. Two more men show up and stage. One of them says "I don't know why we thought this grief roast was a good idea."

This guy says in the replies that this was 7-10 years ago but it makes you wonder how many companies are still doing it like this with 100% human labor. We already know every AI company is doing this with some degree of human intervention, they just call it “training the model.”
Mike Randle: Years ago QuickBooks let users upload receipts and then "Al" would identify the expense amount and category automatically. Sometimes it worked fast and sometimes it took hours.
It was actually just workers in the Philippines, and it took awhile sometimes because they were asleep

CEO: we’ve invented an orphan crushing machine, it makes $1mil for every orphan it crushes! SHAREHOLDERS: yaaaaay! CEO: uh oh looks like it makes slightly less money each time SHAREHOLDERS: we will obviously need to crush more orphans to compensate

Deplatforming is out of favor in Silicon Valley. But it works. A new study in Nature finds that Twitter's mass suspension of 70,000 QAnon-linked accounts after Jan. 6 meaningfully reduced the overall circulation of fake and hyperpartisan news on the platform. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
washingtonpost.com
After Jan. 6, Twitter banned 70,000 right-wing accounts. Lies plummeted.
A new study finds deplatforming “super-spreaders” of misinformation can limit the overall spread of online whoppers.

Really makes you think!
In November 2019, Biden shared an article about Trump’s asylum policy and tweeted: “This election is about who we are and who we want to be. I believe we are a nation that welcomes those fleeing persecution and seeking asylum — not a nation that turns our back on them.”

Leash your dog. Yes, you. Yes, your sweet dog. Leash your dog. Not only because of the harm it could do, but because you have no right to put other people through the stress of not knowing what it will do. EVEN IF you can predict your dog (you can’t), other people shouldn’t have to rely on it.

tell me you don't understand art by announcing you will only be making sludge for children you no longer respect. You can say you want it more collaborative, you can say you want it more 'relatable', but it's for ultimate control of ideas. Fuck their trademarks and copyrights, they are sweating.

When not impersonating a jelly donut, the Eastern red bat controls insect pest populations like gypsy moths, cutworms, coneworms, and tent caterpillars. Therefore: do not eat the crunchy, fuzzy, squeaky donut.
A post by "Tom" @elbows_selbo" on the bird site that shows a round Eastern red bat and a jelly donut side by side, highlighting the similarity in color and shape.  The bat is adorable with tiny black eyes, big ears, and a bigger body than seems natural.

Imagine if instead of making COVID isolation guidelines as weak as the flu... We approved combo rapid tests like this and made them free and available for everyone... So that people could tell how long they need to isolate based on science and not feelings, whatever the pathogen.
