What the "H" is this?

Scientists using the #Chandra X-Ray Observatory have found an "H"-shaped structure in the multimillion-degree gas around Messier 84. The researchers mapped the hot gas to within 100 light years from the galaxy's central supermassive black hole with #ChandraXRay and compared that to #VLA radio images of the black holes jets to better understand how black holes feed from and impact their surroundings. #Astronomy #Astrodon

@therobburgessshow it is very sad you would think that it would be common sense to end mass shootings. Then again you would think finding a way to end homelessness and human trafficking and global hunger and giving everyone access to healthcare you would think would be a priority. Greed seems to win over empathy every time. This is stuff that doesn't take science or cures just planning and compassion. The money could come from wealth taxes. I am just saying

There are two very wrong, very dangerous claims being made in my mentions right now. One is that nothing ever happens on gun safety. The other is that Democrats have done nothing on the issue.

There’s even an odd third one claiming Democrats haven’t been bipartisan enough on the it. These claims are not only wrong but dangerous to efforts to elect people to office who will bring more change. They’re dangerous to efforts to save more lives. Don’t spread such things if you care about helping. 1/2

Older Millennials and GenX
have a unique perspective on the before and after world.

We use (and build) them now, but we grew up without IoT, without social media, without "smart" phones. When cameras were big and privacy was some sort of the default.

We have an important responsibility to fight for privacy rights so that younger generations will also know the freedom given by these rights.

We cannot let society
make them think this is normal and that nothing else is possible.

We must fight for #privacy for them too ✊🔒

Command line demo for my @rustnl talk is now ready. There will be also proper desktop application demos.

Moderator #feditips for today - this is one I repeat occasionally.

You are able to Hide Boosts from those you follow so they don't show in your Home timeline.

This is useful when you have an interesting follow whose posts you enjoy, but you're not necessarily on the same wavelength with their other interests.

Open their profile, click on the Menu (three vertical dots) and select Hide Boosts.

This can be particularly useful during sports playoffs and political campaigns! 😄

So, the "kill the gays" bill has been returned to the president with few changes. We are anticipating a full scale genocide. All shelter space in Kenya full.

Meanwhile, inside the box, Schrödinger's cat plans its revenge.

Looking for other, more inspiring crowns to fixate on?
I suggest a corona on Venus, or a corona around the Sun.

@zleap
My meme partner @n2play & I just created this
The answer is
#VoteOutTheGOP

Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible.
They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image.
A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points.
Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic.
If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness.
This email is seemingly *not* a drill.
