How do we know these aren't all cover stories and Prigozhin's not setting up operations on the moon?
Hey, anyone else hear this news that a random 60-year-old with Prigozin's spare passport just died in a plane crash?

I have all media obscured by default, so to those posting images and videos without any accompanying text, I'm not bothering to click to view them unless I know you pretty well.
I doubt I'm alone in this: after Twitter's endless "my face when" gifs, the feature is just too attractive to be ignored.
"Hi there, in my incredibly principled way I'm leaving Twitter and moving to Bluesky or Post or Threads on account of I don't want to depend on a VC-funded platform ultimately responsible only to whoever owns the most shares...
um...
..."
I find it's pretty reliable to judge people inversely by the calibre of their detractors. For example, take a close look at anyone who makes a point of tearing down Megan Rapinoe: they invariably turn out to be Jan 6 and/or police abuse apologists, that sort of thing. I don't know a thing about women's soccer but by that measure, Ms. Rapinoe's surely a damn goddess.
It'd be nice if I could persuade google to automatically add
"-pinterest"
to all my searches. The ratio of it coming up in results to anyone wanting it to must be about a trillion to one.

Musk’s space ventures are a perfect illustration of the profound downside risk of privatizing infrastructural public goods.

CW: Sexual harassment in STEM
Re-posting this 🐤 thread from 2018 which, sadly, is still relevant:
#WomenInSTEM who talk about #harassment and sexual misconduct get a lot of antagonistic & unhelpful replies.
@shrewshrew and I (a woman & a man in science) tried to categorize them. #9ReplyGuys

The classic case of this was that several public houses in #lancashire reacted to attempts to import segregation by putting up signs that they would serve black G.I.s only!

In WW2, the movement of millions of American troops to Britain, known as the “friendly invasion,” brought to light stark differences concerning racial segregation. Many Britons struggled to understand or accept the institutionalized discrimination that Black soldiers faced in White America, leading to tensions between the two allied nations on the matter of civil rights.

On July 15, 1944, in Bristol England, the "Park Street Riot" occurred as 400 Black soldiers confronted 120 MPs over pub access. Observers later recounted that locals rooted for the Black troops. Like the Battle of Bamber Bridge a year earlier, this event underscored the racism Black troops faced as well as the disconnect between how they were treated overseas vs in their own country.

I wish I could get enthusiastic about nuclear energy, because "Fissile, not Fossil" is a great slogan.

Wow... A German court refuses extradition to the UK, after asking about "chronic overcrowding, staff shortages, violence among inmates", only receiving a vague, last-minute email frok a police station in Manchester about "creating an extra 20,000 prison places", and then being ignored.

Massive #nerds everywhere: what are your favorite #hostname conventions for computers and #IOT devices around the home and office?
Of late I've been going with Hebridean islands for system names, Star Wars critters for IP cameras (because one of the first ones I installed reminded me vaguely of a Jawa), and characters from #MontyPython and the Holy Grail for other minor network-enabled microcontroller-based gizmos.
