I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

One of the things that goes unremarked in these stories is that they rest on relentless armies of fascist goons who will harass and torment ordinary people for years on end, with no recourse for their victims, and that everyone treat as normal. Cops support it. Gamergate is the law.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

They routinely pretend they have no actual influence but are somehow standing behind a glass partition just quietly observing what happened, so they takes no responsibility for outcome, even as they exhibit huge biases and overt agendas, up to and including major impact on American elections....

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

This has been the defining trait of my career over the last 20 years, working in tech. Everyone can see it now, because they’ve seen the corruption of the tech tycoons, but we had the first view of their venality, and watched as they ruined the lives of so many who raised the alarms about it.
