The main problem is that space telescopes in Low Earth Orbit share the similar orbits as the telecommunication satellites.

Here we show a simplified representation of the increased orbital crowding between 1958 (Sputnik) and the projected satellite population at the end of the next decade.

This is hella cool. a 19 year old memorized and recited the entire Shukla Yajurveda over 50 days completely from memory, in the insanely difficult method of Danda Krama, which i'll explain in the next post - economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/new-upd...

Really enjoyed Rhystic Studies' look at Fallen Empires, a set very dear to me. Sam speculates that Homarid Explorer in Dominaria may have been inspired by a puzzle sent to R&D by @loreleywrites.bsky.social, though notes that Loreley dismisses this theory. I can shed some light! (🧵)
Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

“If we lost the majority in the house... they will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years, he'll have only 2–because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress… and they will try to systematically unwind all [our fascist] reforms.”

Sounds great!

At its core, the problem hybrid brings up is that there is no single way to make commander "make sense" to everyone. For example, 2 of these cards can be played in a UG deck and 2 can't, and you can find arguments for or against each.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Disabled people should be allowed to get married without losing our healthcare. We shouldn’t have to choose between weddings and staying alive. In 2025 we still have no marriage rights or property rights. We never have, and it’s total shit. Fuck Eugenics, we deserve so much better.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

You can condemn the heinous act of violence that killed Charlie Kirk without celebrating who he was. People are capable of holding two thoughts at the same time.
