Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.
I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.
What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.
Warped space, right before your eyes!

Weird how the jobs that AI-boosters say AI is going to replace never seems to include the management or executive class.

I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."
They want to tell you the boycotts don’t work…except Target has already lost over 16 billion since they trashed DEI. Walmart stores are empty & while I can’t find figures on losses…truth will out eventually. And Tesla alone has lost over 750 Billion.
People aren’t flying to US.
Keep up the good work people. You may not see the results published and they may say it doesn’t work, but it clearly does.

They are taking away the right to protest.
They are taking away the right to express political opinions.
They are taking away the right to protect your health.
These are all fundamental human rights.
Do not be silent about losing them.
Much of the Signal discussion is overlooking a key point: an entire apartment building was leveled to kill one guy.
How many civilians died? Is this a war crime?
The religious language—“prayer,” “God bless,” “Godspeed to our Warriors”—makes it all the more revolting, like a game of Battleship from the safety of a church basement.
GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo (@forgejo).
Fully migrated out of Microsoft’s walled garden after they blocked us:

Everything moved. Nothing left behind.
Can someone explain to me how destroying education, medical research, military intelligence, Social Security, the postal service and the weather service will make America great again? Because, it all seems designed to make Russia great again, from where I'm sitting.
A mythical spike in organized retail theft led states to OK a taxpayer-funded police shopping spree for electronic surveillance technology - mission creep at its worst, EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told The Appeal. https://theappeal.org/shoplifting-panic-police-military-gear-license-plate-readers-facial-recognition/
I must be getting old, y’all. The White House uses Signal to keep classified material secure, but it seems like just yesterday they were using the bathroom at Mar-A-Lago.
My favorite conservative pastime is when they accidentally describe utopia while trying to scare people about socialism
RFK Jr. announced today that the Department of Health and Human Services would cut 10,000 employees.

The abandoned Church of the Transfiguration - one of my favorite places, now long gone. Check out the gallery and find out the odd story of its demise which, oddly enough, involved Anne Hathaway's (now ex) boyfriend: https://www.abandonedamerica.us/church-of-transfiguration
As feral rescue, Genie spent months running and hiding if I so much as looked at her. Now she cuddles up and accepts belly rubs. I feel so privileged that she trusts me
