*inventing Bluetooth* Well, it works about 60% of the time. That’ll probably be good enough forever.

On 9/16/25, celebrate a date of mathematical beauty

cats in the wild don't meow.

if you have a talkative cat, you are living with a cat scientist, (working to the limits of linguistic ability) trying to communicate with a huge alien species,

an alien that doesn't understand the importance of second breakfast.

All developers rejoice! New timezone about to drop. Just coming out of committee though, so I guess it has a little ways to go before being signed into law. Hopefully they come up with a timely solution.

It's the #Hubble Space Telescope's 35th birthday, and I while everyone is posting images celebrating its amazing successes, I'd like to post one of the indelible images from my mind: As I watched on TV at the hotel bar in Anaheim, CA, Shuttle Discovery crew on STS-82 were repairing the Hubble. 🔭🤯🛰️🚀

> Isaacman calls potential NASA science cuts not “optimal”

Yeah, I mean I could think of a few more adjectives
Isaacman calls potential NASA science cuts not “optimal”
NASA administrator nominee Jared Isaacman says he would, if necessary, prioritize Artemis over human missions to Mars and calls a potential halving of NASA science funding not “optimal.”

🙆 First custom #ATProto #lexicon implemented (sort of haphazardly) for statuses and statusMessages.

atproto.im #AIM

It all works, sort of uncharted territory adding websockets for real-time changes in an ATProto appview.
