The image on the cover of the Joy Division album "Unknown Pleasures" is from a plot that radio astronomer Harold Craft made for his PhD dissertation, using data collected at Arecibo while studying the pulsar discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell was born #OTD in 1943. As a Cambridge grad student in 1967, she discovered an entirely new type of celestial object: Pulsars! In 1974 the Nobel was given to her advisor; she was left off. 🧪 👩‍🔬 🔭 Photo: National Science & Media Museum

My prediction is that, of all the conservative parties standing in today's #UKGeneralElection, the one led by Keir Starmer will win.

Hell is other people[‘s code]

Coup in Bolivia in course so the global north can buy cheaper electric cars. Democracy in Latin America is the lowest priority for the "pro-democracy" countries in the West.

New Chat-GPT will be unable to document code

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

techbros are consistently incapable of making good takes about intelligence having a PhD doesn't mean you're smarter, it just means you got a PhD. there are many kinds of intelligence, and techbros are the kind of arrogant idiot that doesn't understand that

I am one of these cosmologists haha

Some cosmologists have referred to the standard cosmological model as the "Maximally Boring Universe". I argue that this can be justified on anthropic grounds: the Universe has to be boring in order for so many boring people to exist within it.

PRECISAMOS ABRIR OS OLHOS! O avanço da extrema direita no Parlamento Europeu não é um problema exclusivo de lá e deve nos acender um alerta por aqui também. Segue o fio 🧶

Anti-communism is just a socially acceptable way of promoting fascism

Visualization of yesterday’s European elections in Germany. Black is center-right, blue is extreme-right. Reminder that, at least in theory, East and West Germany have been reunited 35 years ago.

Please stop having conferences in at the same time and place Taylor Swift is performing. It’s a nightmare to find affordable hotels…

How is climate change increasing the risk of heavy rainfall? It’s basic physics: warmer air holds more water vapour. So when a storm comes along today, there’s a lot more of it available for that storm to sweep up and dump than there was 50 or 100 years ago. A LOT.

This isn’t getting as much traction as it should but the flooding in south Brazil is horrific. Over 600,000 people homeless, entire cities have disappeared under water because we’ve been harming the environment so much and this will get worse as more rain hits the region

The place I come from, the place I grew up… now looks like a distopia, under water for almost a whole month…
