Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

THE SUMMONING (2022)
Acrylic - 8 ½” x 7 ¼”

The paint for this came from a leftover palette. Most of the earth tones had dried up but the blues, turquoises, and greens looked okay. 1/2

Sky Glows over Paranal Observatory

Explanation: Are lasers from giant telescopes being used to defend the Earth? No. Lasers shot from telescopes are now commonly used to help increase the accuracy of astronomical observations. In some directions, Earth atmosphere-induced fluctuations in starlight can indicate how the air mass over a telescope is changing, but in other directions, no bright star exists. In these directions, astronomers can create an artificial star with a laser. Subsequent observations of the artificial laser guide star can reveal information so detailed about the changing blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere that much of it can be removed by rapidly flexing a telescope's mirror. Such adaptive optics techniques allow high-resolution ground-based observations of real stars, planets, and nebulas. Pictured here, telescopes at Paranal Observatory in Chile study a colorful sky filled with green airglow and the Magellanic Clouds on the left, red airglow on the right, and the majestic central band of our Milky Way Galaxy arching across the center.

This video was released by #Forbrukerrådet, the Norwegian #Consumer Council, a few days ago

It imagines the career trajectory of an "enshittificator"

It was hard for him to enshittify minor aspects of daily life in person, but became easy for him to do so at scale once he embraced the #Internet and #technology

It's genius #satire
