I was trying to photograph meteors, grumbling to myself at the amount of light pollution from the North ... when I finally realised what was happening and rotated the camera. Aurora from Exmoor. #aurora #auroraborealis #exmoor #exmoornationalpark

Prawie mnie dzisiaj przejechał na przejściu dla pieszych jadący pod prąd radiowóz. I nie, nie jechali na sygnale, drogę z kebabowni se skracali. 🙈

Die Angst geht um unter den Jägern. Der Gegenschlag der Rehe rückt näher.

📷 Tutaj widzimy dojrzały okaz ursusa zwyczajnego w jego naturalnym środowisku. Ursusy od lat zasiedlają polskie pola i łąki. Najstarsze osobniki pamiętają czasy, gdy prawie całe rolnictwo było ekologiczne, a na pastwiskach królowały leniwie pasące się krowy. 🐄 🍃

I beg of you, just say Twitter. Don't say birdsite, or T******, or any other cute thing. Just say Twitter, so people can mute that word and not see your post.

Same with Musk. Or Trump. Or any other thing you think some of your audience doesn't want to see. Just say the word and let people mute that word. Please.

Teacher: William Shakespeare is credited with the invention of over 1,700 words. He was a linguistic genius.

Teacher: Absolutely fucking not.

I came across a neat browser extension today. It looks for "rel=me" links pointing to mastodon profiles, and puts it in a little list for you to review.

In other words, you visit a website, and if tells you if there are any mastodon accounts associated to the website.

Someone painted a swastika on Donald Trump's star on Hollywood Boulevard but the cops don't know if it was a supporter or an opponent.

I remember when my wife was pregnant and my cat was so very interested in her belly, but after she gave birth had no interest in the baby. It was a weird way to find out that my cat was a Republican.

If anyone was still wondering at the state of Twitter right now, this was inserted into my feed earlier, and I'd be surprised if wasn't tailor made to infuriate me specifically. Given the option, I would gladly yeet it into the sun

Judith Love Cohen was the engineer who made Apollo's Abort Guidance System, which was crucial to saving the ill-fated Apollo 13. She finished it while in labor, then (the same day) delivered her younger son -- the actor Jack Black.

This is one of those utterly remarkable #space stories that I stumble over once in a while and it blows my mind afresh every single time.

Yeah, yeah, machine learning and everything can upscale your photo through magic… but I am still amazed how naïvely upping the resolution and then adding a little noise can trick your brain into thinking an image is more detailed than it actually is.
