Avi Loeb says your mom is an interstellar object
Avi Loeb now appending to his atrocious a posteriori statistics some fan mail likening him to Galileo.

He really has entirely lost the plot.

(3I/ATLAS is a comet, by the way.) 🔭

Reports from the Minor Planet Center (here) and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (here) just released new data on the interstellar object…

#RadioGarden has rekindled my love for exploring #radio (even digital). Balla Radio in Cameroon 🇨🇲 is one of my treasured finds. I find myself listening day after day for an hour or more. The music they play is always energising and uplifting.

FFS @moderation.bsky.app you have to stop with this paternal BS. I live in Germany. I work with engineers. Most of my friends are on the spectrum. Do you want me completely alone?

The first lesson I ever learned when I became a graphic designer back in the 90s was “nobody makes a sign for no reason”

Something I see repeatedly in the ActivityPub community & Fediverse, and with growing regularity in the ATmosphere is people pretending or thinking that they can control data once it has left their server/device.

You can definitely ask nicely that they do certain things...

Seeping in #Fantômas today, starting with Amenaza al Mundo, the debut with Mike Patton from #FaithNoMore, Dave Lombardo from #Slayer, and Buzz Osborne from #TheMelvins, and Trevor Dunn from #Mr.Bungle

This avant-garde album has no comparators and still sounds fresh to death.

Just learned my first Icelandic swear word
Fjandinn
"This initiative will give teachers from every region of Iceland [...] access to advanced AI tools as the country explores how artificial intelligence can transform education."

Has there ever before been products sold where customers* must figure out the use?
