Twitter, Facebag, Insta, TikTok are all social media, which like traditional media are bought and paid for. The Fediverse on the other hand is a social network, a platform for communication.

Along with #dark #energy, dark #matter represents a major embarrassment for #physicists. Together, these two unknowns mean that over 95 per cent 📊 of the #universe is made up of stuff not #categorised 📉 in the #standard model of #particle #physics, our best theoretical picture of #material #reality https://www.newscientist.com/definition/dark-matter

Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.

So it’s going well, right?

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.

Math Skills x Stage of Life

(Okay, I do a bit more than spreadsheets, but I still chuckled). Not sure who made this, but it's brilliant 😆

Pentagon biolabs around the world. Some in Ukraine too.

Couldn't help it and did this last night. I'm still in awe at the level of detail in this image! Look at those spiral dust lanes.
