Can anyone tell me, why does the central region of this #JWST image of the Ring Nebula look like a pair of red lips, as opposed to the blue ocean it looks like in other images, such as from Hubble. This is a MIRI image.

Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.

Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government.

He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

Elon Musk has just agreed with the viciously anti-LGBTQ account Libs of TikTok after it requested he release "all communications" from private organizations "who have pushed to censor certain accounts" on Twitter.

Musk responded by indicating he will do so in a "giant data dump" that he estimates will happen next week.

If he carries this out, the world's richest man who receives billions from the US government will almost certainly be putting private people in some real danger.

Corporate Social Media has managed to fully stab itself in the back in Canada. The link at my local newspaper when you click on their Facebook or Instagram buttons sends you to a webpage that says:
https://www.albernivalleynews.com/trust-local-news
"Don't lose out on trusted local journalism.
While we no longer will be found on these platforms, we're not going anywhere."
And as for click on The Bird logo (what, no X?). It's just a big dumb login screen.
Irrelevance never looked so good.

12 years in, still ZERO regrets about my gender transition. I do massively regret my decision to enlist in the Army as a 19 year old though, but no one cares about protecting kids from the military groomers. No, we let them prey on children IN SCHOOLS.

"Elon is on the spectrum!"

Yeah. But he's the "good kind" of autistic, in their books, which is a load of garbage.

Sad morning. After returning a day early from a smoky, wet paddling trip. I was awoken at 0645 hours by the cops to tell me that someone had broken into my vehicle. The culprits found the only valuable item that was in the car: my gorgeous #TernBike. I really hope that the fact that it's one-of-a-kind around town will work in my favour in this case. In the meantime, I won't be going out on #GroupRides for awhile. #BikeTooter, #YEG

how much sharing is oversharing?

if they start getting uncomfortable enough that it makes you uncomfortable too, that's probably a good place to stop.
