Our galaxy is full of lonely planets, untethered to a star.

Lonely, but not boring: New studies indicate these solitary worlds have clouds, hotspots, auroras, and complex carbon chemistry. 🧪

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce a Canadian journalist and alleged Soviet/Russian spy, David Pugliese (@davidpugliese). He’s best-known for his articles about “Ukrainian Nazis”, and for allegedly being a spy for both the Soviet Union and later Russia.

Musk's lawyers are objecting the transfer of InfoWars' X accounts to The Onion. Their claim is that X has “superior ownership” of all accounts on the platform.

That's right, Elon owns your account, its followers, subscribers, even your DMs. This is a very dangerous precedent.

The website vs app split for Bluesky vs Threads captures the difference in user base and usage patterns beautifully.

Bluesky = knowledge sector workers who have it open all day in a tab next to their emails. “Wait what was I doing again?”

Threads = normies watching recipe videos on the commute.
