I started a new starter pack for the most interesting science popularizers on Bluesky.
This starter pack won't be about those who STUDY science communication, but instead, share interesting science stuff.
I just initiated it, feel free to recommend accounts.

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."

F.O.F. is an independent group with the goal of running THIS👇 social network totally outside of Bluesky.
It's not us. It's a fully independent version of the network. All the same users and posts. Running cooperatively with us and others.

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.

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.

What are some movies that have traumatized you as a child?
I'll go first: My Girl, 1991
I've seen some scenes from I.T. as well when I was like 8 and couldn't take a shower for a while. 😂

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.

Something like this will be found in the future, when these things will be completely unknown (or there is nothing that can "know" is left)...

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.

Happy Winter Solstice!
These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.
Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.
The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds
