Twenty seven years since my friend was murdered. 10 since a random fluke of DNA scanning found the killer. 7 since the killer was convicted. I miss my friend.

Naomi Wolf hates clouds.

The James Webb Telescope picks up some amazing things. This is the Crab Nebula, and that weird distortion you see in the center is actually magnetic waves apparently from the pulsar at the center of the nebula.

I love rye bread, and I love caraway in my rye, and up until this most recent loaf I didn't think that you could have "too much" caraway seed in your rye bread. Friends, I've found that limit. I switched up to some super fresh caraway and hoo boy this bread tastes medicinal. Still gonna eat it.

Some people think bitcoin is found in the mud Bitcoin succeeds on the pump and the dump The pump & the dump, and some stable coin swapped liquidity's weak but the hype can't be topped I mine sixteen coins, what do I get? Massive power bills and a diamond hand bet...

Donald Trump: “We want all remaining Bitcoin to be made in the USA” I think it may be time to move this man into hospice care

My favorite part of this is that one of the two most common times elephants use names is when parents are addressing their calves. So it's now universal that children know they're in trouble when their parents use their full name. Also this is really, really cool. Like really cool.

Just mind blowing. Elephants have names. Like, they give each other names and use them in conversation. Elephants have names!

Elephants call each other by name, study findswww.theguardian.com Researchers used artificial intelligence algorithm to analyse calls by two herds of African savanna elephants in Kenya

Interesting to watch them all admit what we've been saying all this time.

The capitalist consolidation behind Trump is producing some wild quotes. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

@laurajedeed.bsky.social weren't we talking after Trump's conviction how we were surprised nobody compared him to Jesus yet? MTG came through. Article is here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Seems to me Alito is a threat to the fundamentals of our country from reading this article. He says he struggles to find a way to even *live* with people that disagree with him ideologically. Roberts on the other hand gave pretty decent answers, but as others have said, it's not his court anymore.

Alito thinks he’s fighting a holy war against the left www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So uh, did something happen? (Check out the Bluesky Firehose traffic , that's a >2x jump lmao)

Truly hard hitting journalism there CNN.

If you have security concerns about DMs on the platform, I would suggest not using the chat/DM feature right now. I appreciate BSky being transparent about this.

DMs on Bluesky will not be "end-to-end encrypted" until we are able to do some more protocol work. We have very careful access controls within our systems. If you're extremely privacy conscious, I'd recommend using Bluesky DMs to share your Signal accounts!

Even the negotiators in this are bastards. www.cnn.com/2024/05/21/p...

Sources say they were ‘duped’ by Egypt changing ceasefire terms for Hamas | CNN Politicswww.cnn.com Egyptian intelligence quietly changed the terms of a ceasefire proposal that Israel had already signed off on earlier this month, ultimately scuttling a deal that could have released Israeli hostages ...

To the person who decided to push an untested network GPO out to our production MAC filter service and thereby kicked all the users off the corporate network, I say: May your underwear forever be full of fiberglass insulation. This is beyond a dumpster fire.

Finally spotted my first one! I thought they only came in silver?

Apparently I've pissed off the fortune cookie writers at Panda Express.

Thirty years of IT and I spend so much time having to walk people through turning their computer on.

I FOIA'd the FTC for consumer complaints about Little Tikes and there are a huge number of fake toy websites advertising on Facebook and Google that will take your money and won't send anything.

'I Really Hope No Other Parent Has Disappointed Kids Like Mine': Fake Websites for Little Tikes Swindle Parentsgizmodo.com The sites look very official, but they just steal your money and don't deliver any toys.

TIL that 80,000+ allegations of abuse against the Boy Scouts doesn't make the abuse "routine" because it's not 50% + 1 of all scouts ever from a dipshit on here. Aegis warned me, and I should have listened.

Is a 20 dollar gift card to a favorite coffee joint an appropriate amount for a thank you to a coworker who saved me at least 90 minutes of work today by coming up with a solution she totally didn't have to do?
