If people could see the tremendous level of pollution that is going on, they absolutely wouldn't tolerate it. Put that shit everywhere.
What if we could make CO₂ emissions visible? This cameras that Niki Gruber, the fearless leader of @upgroup.bsky.social, is holding does that. We should post videos everywhere.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

It is extremely funny to me that Brilliant Pebbles was like 40 years ago and the problem space has only gotten more difficult and yet here we are, apparently doing Brilliant Pebbles 2: Orbital Drift
And we will always be at a disadvantage—from a security and a cost standpoint—because our adversaries get to decide when, where, and how to attack (so we have to be prepared for everything everywhere all at once) and they can easily deploy less expensive countermeasures to offset our defenses.
SBIs will require defensive capabilities to help protect them from adversary ASATS -- and that is a cost factor/tech challenge that is not often included in ongoing discussions about investment requirements. breakingdefense.com/2025/11/gold...

More ESO observatories got laser guide stars! If you're not familiar with adaptive optics and the reasons why these very specific lasers have been installed have a look at the ESO pages about it. This is great news and extremely cool.
1/ Milestone achieved by the VLTI upgrade GRAVITY+: a laser has been installed at each of the previously unequipped VLT Unit Telescopes.
This will dramatically enhance the VLTI observing power.

All these dems sound exactly like this to me. I yearn for someone with a shred of human decency remaining, someone who believes in consequences.
“We are disheartened to learn that Lord Killdude has broke his promise and has been shoving people in the volcano. If the murdergooner party is as moral as it once was, then they will publicly disavow Lord Killdude’s actions and work with us towards a bipartisan solution to the volcano problem”

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I got into making music well into middle age because of podcast / video production, and then writing songs for TF. I loved Rumours as a kid and as a young adult because it whips. And now that I can much more clearly recognize what's going on musically / technically, I can say: holy shit it whips
every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours
