Same vibes as this Steven Jay Gould quote:

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

Today, I started my lecture course on cosmology and realized: if you think of a MPc (Mega parsec ~ 3 million light years) as a meter, our Milky Way has the size of a small cookie, our local group would correspond to the size of my desk, and I could hike through the whole visible universe within a day.

Of course, on this scale, planet Earth would be ten times smaller than a proton.

Bluesky Reveals Massive Hidden Investment

Today #Bluesky revealed that in April 2025 they received a whopping $100M venture capital investment lead by Bain Capital Crypto and that they KEPT IT A SECRET.

So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out. Crypto VCs.

Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?

u programmed this with claude? the ai platform for bombing schools?

PKK rejects US-Israeli war on Iran: 'Kurds are not anyone’s soldiers'
[...]
“The forces waging this war are what we call the system of global capitalist modernity,” [a PKK leader] added. “This is a war between those who want to change nation-state statism for greater capital profit and those defending that statism. A war of hegemony, a war for more profit, for more influence.

“We are against it. As a movement, as a people, we oppose it [...] This war brings no benefit or advantage to the peoples of the Middle East.”

To help all scientists w/o graphic design training create clearer, more accessible, and truthful charts!

Two things are simultaneously true: 1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it. 2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.
