I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Ringed Galaxies are rare (~1 in 10,000). Before this image was captured, we never had seen a galaxy with more than 3 rings. This recent image of Galaxy LEDA 1313424 (dubbed the 'Bullseye Galaxy') shows 9 or maybe 10 rings.

![Ring Galaxies are already rare (~1 in 10,000). But before this image was captured, we never had yet seen a galaxy with more than 3 rings. This recent image of Galaxy LEDA 1313424 (~2.5 times the mass of the Milky Way and dubbed the 'Bullseye Galaxy') shows 9 or maybe 10 rings. The dynamics of a collision with the smaller blue galaxy to is what is theorized to have formed and/or enhanced its ring structure.

The Planetary Society strongly opposes the sudden, indiscriminate dismissal of more than 1,000 scientists, engineers, and explorers at NASA — the largest involuntary workforce reduction since the end of the Apollo program.

Sudden, indiscriminate layoffs at NASA do not serve the national interests in space leadership.

Why is there an assumption that people *want* to talk about politics all the time?
I’d rather talk about music, sound design, amateur radio, star trek, esp32 projects, open source, systems design…
I’m about more than one thing, and so is literally everyone else.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
