I started a new starter pack for the most interesting science popularizers on Bluesky. This starter pack won't be about those who STUDY science communication, but instead, share interesting science stuff. I just initiated it, feel free to recommend accounts. go.bsky.app/VXRLWYs

Ooo Türkiye buraya gelmiş, hoşgeldiniz. :D

It's cool when magicians do it. Real life is not magical. "He who lives trusting, dies betrayed."

At least do it right(er).

This is insanely open minded and visionary. Kudos! 🥂

"Reason" TV lol... I don't know if this has a name already, but I have a theory that whatever a brand calls itself (or makes its motto), we can be 80% sure that they will act in complete opposition to that name and/or motto. youtu.be/Qaw5wbOsN7w

Can't tell much due to the embargo, but Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is about to announce some pretty scary results. I fear that no one cares about it anymore and their children is about to suffer bad consequences.

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤 (Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )

Nikki Glaser is one of my absolute favorite comedians and I have to say: She crushed it at the Golden Globes! Incredible job!

I don't know if the social media is running out of content, or if the algorithms are stupid enough to show the same things over and over again, but I can't find anything that's not repetitive of something else that I've already seen. I hope it's true for everyone so we can move on from SM.

"Big Soap" 🤦‍♂️ Ivermectin is produced by Merck.

What are some movies that have traumatized you as a child? I'll go first: My Girl, 1991 I've seen some scenes from I.T. as well when I was like 8 and couldn't take a shower for a while. 😂

jesus christ this guys needs genuine help

How different would the world be if the USA stayed this big, I wonder.

No one's left to do that my boy.

Even if you've earned $591.000 PER DAY (yes, per DAY), since the year 0 (yes, for the past 2024 years), Elon Musk would still have more wealth than you do.* Yeah... Let that sink in. * Assuming no interest or inflation.

Something like this will be found in the future, when these things will be completely unknown (or there is nothing that can "know" is left)...

The shittification of Turkish Airlines is mind boggling. Removing free seat selection almost entirely, only 1 check-in baggage allowed, crashing food quality, price increases in almost every single add-on as far as I can tell... I guess it's time to say goodbye. I'll miss the direct flights.

Okay, I'll gladly take your money. Here are the rules: 1) Produce evidence that this amount exists in your bank account and you're willing to earmark it for this challenge. 2) Have your lawyer write up a binding contract that if your request is satisfied, you'll be legally required to pay.

I love this illusion! Keep looking at the center and wiggle the phone around and it starts having a 3D effect as if the reds are coming out of the screen.

A good demonstration of how you can hack your y-axis to tell a non-existing story about your boring data.

PBS News is on Bluesky, y’all. @pbsnews.bsky.social

This is the clearest image of Antares. It's 620 light years away from us. That's 39.2 MILLION times the distance between the Sun and the Earth. And I can't take a photo of my own face this sharp from my arm's reach. 🤦‍♂️

You gotta be kidding me... It *only* made people lose 20% on average, not 25%. Oh no!!! (The "market" is insane.)

2024 is 93.97% finished.

Tornado alley is shifting eastward with climate change.

Why does a dude that's not elected have this much power over the Congress, on a website that's used by less than 25% of Americans (and less than 10% of them use it regularly in a day)?

Why?

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Strait of Gibraltar from the space looks amazing! It's Africa to the left and Europe to the right. Atlantic Ocean to the top right and the Mediterranean to the bottom left.
