@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

Nooo… 😥

Oh, dear. I had the good fortune to meet him a few times at conventions and had lunch with him once in Australia. Such a lovely fellow and of course an iconic figure in science fiction. RIP.

What d’ya reckon?!

So, bear with. I know we all hate AI. But, we all hate AI because it’s owned by despicable US wankstains with no regard for the planet. So, idea: the EU builds its own European AI, powered by 100% renewable energy. And trains it specifically on acheiving a post-scarcity, post-capitalistic goal 🤔

“Reform has to take ever more extreme positions to keep winning headlines. As horrific as Jenrick’s comments are, they should be understood less as a policy proposal than as the political equivalent of a toddler acting out for attention.” Cruelty is weakness. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/482...

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Don’t know quite what to say about this, but thought as many of you as possible should see it (if you haven’t already) 😎

A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸

Totally nerding out on this one 🤓

CERN physicists observed quarks making waves in primordial plasma, confirming the early universe was a true liquid. This glimpse into the universe's first moments, recreated for less than a quadrillionth of a second, just puts things into perspective.

Awesome 🤓

Approximating the Lorenz attractor with a chaotic leaky water wheel. The orange dot is the centre of mass of the water. It traces (a projection of) the familiar attractor as the wheel spins seemingly randomly left and right.

OMG! 🤓🤓

Ok, this is… bizarre. As a cook, I love Le Creuset (it’s probably my favorite cookware). And I’m also a pretty big fan of Star Trek! But I have no desire to combine those two things, & I’m guessing the # of ppl who like both, do want them combined, AND are willing to drop $$$ on cookware is tiny

This is brilliant 😎

RICK RUBIN on why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

Agree!

Jasmine 🌌🔭@astrojaz.bsky.social

way more people should be excited about roman… hubble-level sharpness but 100x the field of view, billions of galaxies, thousands of exoplanets, dark matter + dark energy!!!! this telescope could usher in a whole new era of astronomy and it launches TOMORROW???

Awesome!

T-minus 12 hours until the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope! 🥳 Roman, the "Mother of Hubble" & #NASA's first Chief of Astronomy was the foundational architect who transitioned the concept of a large space telescope from "hopeful speculation" to a funded reality. #WomenInSTEM #astronomy 🔭

Awesome 😎
