The area centered around Point Nemo is known as "Spacecraft Cemetery," as decommissioned space stations and cargo vehicles are regularly ditched there. More than 260 spacecraft have been scuttled there since 1971, mostly by Russia. The ISS is scheduled to be ditched at Point Nemo in 2031.

If you're getting earbashed by a Trumpster, ask them how old they think the Great Pyramid is. Easiest way to get them to stop talking about Donald Trump.

“Trump's Project 2025 wants to take money out of your wallet and give it to your boss” is like verbatim what we should be putting on billboards for undecided voters in swing states

Louganis nails it:

"You wouldn’t expect somebody in sports to hang out with the smokers and the kids who are getting high and all that stuff. But the only thing you had to do with those guys is smoke and get high, so the criteria bar was pretty low.”

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

Definitely hanging out with the wrong accordion players. Someone should’ve started with Popeye and launched into a Harry Nilsson medley.

Hard side eye for any academics blorping on about using AI, it’s an ethical disaster in every dimension and the failure to acknowledge that vs trying to look shiny & clever for the bandwagon is frankly embarrassing.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

A Guardian article said, "Have you experienced eyebrow blindness?" and, yes, yes I have had my vision interrupted by my eyebrows, especially when they get tangled in my eyelashes, though to describe it as "blindness" would be extreme hyperbole. Usually, I keep them combed so fam doesn't trim them.
