For those asking about creating good Milky Way images, my top top tip is to learn about “Stacking”! YouTube has endless videos for beginners, it is the ultimate resource. Stacking is the best way to enhance detail and eliminate noise. #astro #landscapephotography #milkyway #nature #norway #longexpo

Making the scrappiest trial of an ill fame cartomancy/poker deck. The pictures are too silly. Needs a bit of work

Almost up to 20 million!

Environmental advocates say that the US has reversed its position on "capping" plastic production in the forthcoming plastics treaty. The Council on Environmental Quality insists that it's a "clarification" of the original position. from @jbwinters.bsky.social grist.org/regulation/u...

I might start keeping a Minor But Unexplained Bruises Journal to go with my Porridge Diary… *muses* *not a medical condition*

So, a lot of these types of accounts did the same thing with Threads where they signed up, got their account going and then IMMEDIATELY post something racist/homophobic/transphobic in order to test the waters. If they don't get banned, they stay and troll. If they do, they whine on Twitter about it

No, it absolutely doesn't get turned off, but it was severely taxed.

My mother had dichos or sayings that crystallized observation, experience, and action into one nugget. Here she would have said, “What we don’t appreciate, we soon lose.” 🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is so right. The change of an algorithm in California can have - and has had - a monumentally negative impact on traffic to mainstream news outlets here, especially regional ones, and currently there’s no answer

JFC in another window I'm writing a really ridiculously long thread about death and depression and what I'm dealing with and even with a "CW: death" at the top of it I'm not sure I should post it (or post it here). It's A Lot. And I don't want to upset anyone. I was gonna be cheerful on this account

rare to have a social network where the CEO isn't the main character and we'd like to keep it that way but for the record, @jay.bsky.team is the CEO of bluesky, jack dorsey is no longer on the board and he owns 0% of the company

It’s called X-it.

How to improve PMQs immeasurably.

Also the "authentic/inauthentic" split. Jesse Ventura always struck people as a real, non-scripted human being. So does Trump. As someone who would be completely tongue-tied if given a national platform, I feel for people who sound scripted because they would not ad lib on national TV.

I don’t agree with this at all: being an authoritarian is not a magic wand. Hard constraints still matter. You still need men with guns who are willing and able to follow orders and you still need some kind of legitimating structure. These things still matter, very much so.

I am a tran of my word

Said goodbye to Dinosaur today.

I crossed pavlova off my baking bucket list

I cannot stress enough that the American people protested, donated, subscribed, and voted in record numbers in 2018 and 2020 and then those institutions that they propped up in opposition to Trump sought to accommodate him instead. And here we are.

Boris Johnson outside Downing Street:

Tonight in my critical issues class we talked about the persistent—and arguably unavoidable—cult of personality in design as it relates to the idea of cultural relativism. About how being aware of historical context is more valuable than being aware of historical figures.
