The universe is more beautiful and more mind-boggling than any science fiction.

In this one tiny sliver of the sky, we can see over 45,000 galaxies... each with billions of solar systems.

Zooming in on an unremarkable area (red) shows more worlds than humanity can fathom.

Bravo, NASA & JWST.

Saw some fun aircraft today: a few RAF F-35s, a couple USAF cargo planes and tankers.
It's quite funny to me how big a deal everyone (right and left) is making of the affair hush-money/forgery indictment, when everyone (at least everyone who's paying attention) knows that in light of what's coming, it will be a trivial, inconsequential afterthought.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Clearview AI scraped 30 billion images from Facebook to share with police

Law enforcement officers have used Clearview AI's facial recognition database nearly a million times, Hoan Ton-That, the company's CEO, told the BBC.

A lot of people don’t know that Fox News has a streaming service called Fox Nation.

So I tried to make an honest commercial for it. (And yes, every example in this video is real):

LOL, Twitter is puking again.
Nothing is loading, even content in ads 😂
Earth to @elonmusk:
Forcing extremist right-wing bigotry and hate that most people consider vile down users' throats isn't exactly a recipe for success.

New: South Carolina Republicans have introduced a bill that would allow women to be executed if they have an abortion. The bill is also vague enough to potentially include miscarriages. https://wpde.com/news/local/abortion-south-carolina-death-penalty-hb3549-unborn-child-homicide-assault-prenatal-equal-protection-act-roe-v-wade-fetal-heartbeat-bill-pro-life-choice-planned-parenthood-legislature-lawmakers-2-22-23
