I’ve made a lot of friends here since joining bluesky last year, and it’s been wonderful to be part of such a welcoming community, but it’s time to jettison them all now that actual celebs are arriving and I can suck up to them instead

Question for cosmologist readers -- outside of joint fits to future CMB/galaxy survey/21cm experiments, what would be the most ways to measure H_o (assuming the current concordance parameter set) in the distant future?
Lensed GW events and SN1a? Links to papers appreciated :-) 🔭

Hey everybody, could I ask you a favor? I have a new friend who could really use your help. Tiz is an XL thoroughbred hoofcat who was used and discarded by the racing industry. Right now he's struggling with malnourishment, West Nile virus, EPM, a coffin bone infection, and more. 😢 🧵

Going to see more and more articles like this. Everyone has their own reasons for staying on other platforms. But I'd say the list of viable reasons is getting smaller and smaller.

Having just complained about the headline I feel like maybe I should say something about the science, so:
As much as people like to imagine black holes as insatiable cosmic garbage disposals, it is actually not at all clear to astronomers how they manage to eat as much as they do!

Relatable but also: I’d like to talk a little bit about this headline, which is, in my opinion, an example of dysfunction in science reporting today.
(Since there’s no alt text, headline reads: “This Black Hole Is Eating So Much Matter that It Defies Known Science”, from 404 Media)

I just want y'all to know that women of any political stripe probably find this less funny than progressive men do. The fact that we're having to whisper-network the right to vote our conscience tells you a whole, whole lot about life as a woman in America.

3) Be following orders fr someone who wants to seed false election fraud claims
