Alexey Navalny’s co-defendant Daniel Kholodny is just one of Russia’s estimated 600 political prisoners. In his letter from a penal colony, Kholodny explains why letters and postcards from the outside (and even from abroad) matter so much to inmates.

From the observational point of view, the situation has dramatically improved over the years, and now some of the most spectacular images by modern telescopes are of radio galaxies.
They show a broad variety of magneto-fluido dynamical instabilities, perturbations and interactions with the medium, unexpected threads, edges, and even more weird stuff.
Look at this one:
Most CS degrees have students do a "traffic light" exercise at some point: build an model of an intersection, run the stoplights.
Those lessons sometimes ask questions like "Are there pedestrians in your model? Maybe bikes? How about buses? Exactly who lives in the neighbourhood, do they relies on public transit? Et cetera.
A question I like to ask students, that always gets a lot of uncomfortable silence is: at what point do these decisions stop being software, and start being public policy?

PSA for #Peertube instance owners:
Block/ignore the peertube.se instance immediately. This is run by and used by the Nordfront organization for Nazi propaganda.
It's the first match on Google if you're located in Sweden, which is problematic.
Please boost for exposure.

That seems pretty optimistic, I think the question is how many people it would hit before being immobilized by getting stuck on a bike...

As far as I can tell this is ultimately window dressing, because what natsec means is that they want money for climate mitigation, not that they support international cooperation. The core of US natsec all about establishing and maintaining hegemony, and ideas of sacrifice for building international consensus are very foreign and absolutely not something that are growing in lockstep to these climate change statements.

I wrote a python script to undo the frame blending from the original video and then upscaled the images with AI.
The video is at 120x playback speed, in reality this took about 66 minutes.

In its first announcement since June 26 (and possibly last ever post), Prigozhin's press center says he was buried privately at Porokhovskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg. The site closed 30 minutes earlier, so reporters can't even verify this yet. https://t.me/concordgroup_official/1305
Globally we produce A LOT of #energy, but did you know the majority of fossil energy gets wasted? In the US alone, two-thirds of that energy is *wasted* as heat.
As Hannah Ritchie has pointed out, we don’t actually need to produce a low carbon equivalent of all of the coal, oil & gas we currently use.
That means we can decarbonize quickly by being less wasteful & more efficient. #ClimateChange #science

Visst värt att fira, nu fick vi ju precis lika många gasplaneter som stenplaneter, väldigt prydligt!
@KGuw Den där gästlistan får mig att komma ihåg när en kompis hade jour på skvallertelefonen på en kvällstidning. Mitt i en blöt hemmafest ringde Oldsberg på eget bevåg för att berätta om sin kärlekssemester med ny flamma. Från hotellet.
Va sådan 🤯. Helt plötsligt fattade man hur alla dessa banala historier hittar in i tidningen. Och hur vissa kirrar inbjudna till både det ena och andra
Not sure what this account will be about, mostly boosting things I find interesting.
