The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

Ozymandias
Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

My husband just inadvertently inspired one of the simplest, most relatable XY problem¹ demos I've seen.

He asked if I could buy unscented TP 🧻 next time I grocery shop.

Knowing he had been getting a cold, I probed: when does the scent become a problem?

bittersweet news: today is my last day at Bluesky. 💙 i’m very thankful to the team for letting me learn many new things on the job (including React Native). i’m wishing them luck in the improbable — but inevitable — task of making decentralized social media usable and competitive.

This goes hard
Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are inside the US as well as inside my country. I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can, with your economic strength and your arrogance, try to carry out a coup d'état as they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, 1 resisted torture and I resist you. I do not want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you cannot accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my town which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. You do not like our freedom, okay. I do not shake hands with white slavers. I shake the

Be kind to your partner before it no longer matters
nikitagill.bsky.social Nikita Gill @nikitagill.bsky.social · Jan 26
This poem made me stop in my tracks.
The Day of Our Divorce Hearing you treated me to lunch, a spaghetti place. We had never been so kind to each other. When you said I'm still a slob we laughed. After lunch we stood in the parking lot. You said, You have the last word but I said, No, I'm tired of being the one who sums things up. You get the last word. But you couldn't think of one. So off you went to our silver car, I to our red one. It's three years later. And even that's just a story now. Lately I don't feel as if I lived with you. But I remember our kindness that day, when it no longer mattered.

Super simple use case of the advanced attr(), but this makes me happy... of course, now we need to wait for better browser support, but still, so cool!

😍 PSA: ident() is an upcoming CSS feature I’m incredibly excited about and you're about to be too.

It will allow you to compose CSS variables from other variables, making code like this possible. 😍

Spec: drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5...
Proposal (by @bram.us ): github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
.accent { --hue: blue; --tint: 80; } button { --tint-darker: clamp(10, var(--tint) - 10, 90); background: var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint, 80))); border: 1px solid var(ident(--color- var(--hue) "-" var(--tint-darker, 70))); }

Vela Pulsar - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/noDye7
Looking through the Chandra Open FITS image album, I picked out the Vela pulsar because it was interesting but it also confused me. I've been wanting to combine datasets from other observatories with Hubble's but until now have had difficulty finding the FITS files. Turns out it's actually not that hard, especially with resources like Open FITS. Another roadblock I ran into was figuring out how to align the data since stars are completely invisible in the Chandra data one must rely upon the coordinates from the FITS file headers in order to orient things. I sent an email to the address given on the Open FITS page to inquire about this and obtained a very helpful response from Joe DePasquale, who gave me some simple instructions on how to use SAOImage DS9. DS9 actually makes the alignment thing a no-brainer. This should make things easier for me for a lot of things in the future. Well, enough about that side quest. The pulsar is the cool thing, here. First, you have to look at this animation of the northwest particle jet (North is up, east is left) waving around like water emitted from a hose. That's really cool, but when I looked at that article, I was still having a hard time understanding how big the object itself was and whether or not any of it was visible optically. Enter the Hubble data. There are some old WFPC2 pictures in the archive which I put together to give some context with a few stars. The Hubble data doesn't completely overlap with the Chandra data, but ...

flicking through an anthology of schoolchildren’s poetry from 1966 and came across this
shaped like a Christmas tree: CHRISTMAS ? * Once Long Ago There was joy The joy of Virgin Birth in a stable starlit, bare The Holy Spirit came to earth Then Decades Brought Decay Now all the stars are on T.V. The spirit dregs in an empty glass A day for drinks and harlotry All birth and life to death must pass. MARY HUGHES, Pontllanfraith Grammar-Technical School.
