The blue whale has been officially dethroned as the longest animal on earth*. In 2020, Schmidt Ocean Institute spotted this galaxy-shaped creature while doing an ROV dive off the coast of Australia. Based on their laser measurement system, they estimate the outer ring is 154 feet long...

From somebody named Karl Young? Anybody ever heard of him. He’s pretty smart, I bet.

Carl Jung said, "Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you." Loneliness is rarely about empty rooms. It is about carrying words you cannot say and truths you do not feel safe to share.
Healing is learning to speak what matters most so you are no longer alone with it. This is the work of letting yourself be seen and known for who you really are.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

I won. I won my appeal.

The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent.

Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/

The ridiculous thing is that Pluto is a binary dwarf planet with Charon now. That's soooo much cooler than "small and far away." Pluto went from a footnote to one of the most unique things in the solar system but some people won't be open to anything new.

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

@suchnerve
“I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?

"Hey guys, what can we name our all-seeing eye technology that will inspire confidence and comfort in our user base?"

A close-up shot of the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.

The Eye: A massive, vertical slit pupil made of dark shadow, surrounded by an intense, swirling vortex of fire and orange light.

The Setting: The eye is suspended between two dark, jagged, horn-like spires of the tower Barad-dûr.

Effects: Brilliant arcs of yellow and orange electricity or magical energy crackle horizontally across the frame, connecting the eye to the surrounding spires.

Atmosphere: The background is a dark, moody sky filled with thick, reddish-black smoke and clouds, creating an ominous and powerful feeling.

Starfleet has Horta members, who can neither run, walk, nor climb, and who require a Teflon spray coating to exist in an oxygen atmosphere, If you can accept that a Horta would be able to serve in starfleet, but not someone who uses a wheelchair, that's a staggering failure of your imagination.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
