Via @decolonialatlas "Each 8th of July, at 11:15 UTC, 99% of the world's population is experiencing daylight. This day should have a name, and it should be a holiday." Original source: https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/99-percent-sunlight
99% of Population in Sunlight: July 8 Isn’t the Only Date

Our Sun data confirm an internet meme claiming 99% of the world’s population gets sunlight at 11:15 UTC on July 8. But does it happen on other dates, too?

Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and RFK jr all seem like huge morons.
The IPCC says we need to halve CO2 emissions by 2030 to stay below the +1.5C threshold. Here's what that looks like.
It's still (technically) possible, but not by doing what we're currently doing.
2008 v. 2023: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

Usually I tell people I study Kuiper Belt Objects, because that name is more easily recognized by the general public. But today I have learned that I can make *Those People* cringe just by saying the more proper name.

So, I study Trans-Neptunian Objects.

Now that we have achieved tourism for space and ocean depths, I am announcing a new service to send billionaires into the hearts of active volcanoes.

Reminder that the only safe dummy domains to use are:

- example.com
- example.net
- example.org

And nowadays there's also a safe dummy TLD: .example

These are safe because they are reserved by IANA as as special-use domain names for documentation purposes on direction of IETF in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761.

Any other domain can be registered and as such should _never_ be used as a dummy domain for documentation or as eg. an example in default configs.

I am about to kick some journalists in the nuts real hard.

YOU failed to report on the dire warnings of scientists the past *checks the 6 IPCC reports* 33 years with your bloody "both-sideism" and now it's our fault?

Fuck you, the Hill. Fuck you very very much.

Catch-22: Scientific communication failures linked to faster-rising seas

Scientists failed for decades to communicate the coming risks of rapid sea-level rise to policymakers and the public, a new study has found. That has created a climate catch-22 in which scientists have soft-pedaled the kinds of catastrophic risks most easily headed off by cutting emissions. While scientific communication has improved in the 2020s, this…

@arstechnica looks great but can't afford it. Hoping I can get my hands on a free copy.
