gm to everyone involved in the decision to wheel out some GDR Robotron computers for Berlin’s 750th anniversary celebrations in 1987. What an image! 👏 [Image: Thomas Uhlemann, c/o Bundesarchiv]

TBH STEM/nerd/geek communities get probably too much credit for STEM literacy too as regards the ratio of tech/engineering/maths literacy Vs tech optimism. Too many examples of people missing important points in ways that are foundational.
Years of "learn to code" and not enough "learn basic engineering"
Hell yeah, never this early to an Internet Today!! AND @eliotetc.bsky.social and @rickyftw.bsky.social have some good news about people who like affordable housing and fed children 🙌

My first actual Bauhaus influenced design. I enjoyed this very much. The colors and details are fun. I'm looking forward to exploring this and other early 20th century art. #benitamakes #crossstitch #bauhaus #wip #craft #crossstitchofbluesky #ilovecrossstitch
More working on my Bauhaus cross stitch. I am loving the abstractness of this and it's really holding my attention. This is a huge win for my ADHD brain. #bauhaus #benitamakes #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #wip #abstractart #ilovecrossstitch #iloveembroidery

The Verge@theverge.com · 12h ago"SpaceX remains its own biggest customer. There just aren’t enough other people who want its rockets. And, I dunno, maybe if the rockets were a primary focus of the company, SpaceX wouldn’t be in danger of blasting a new crater into the Moon with its space trash." Read more: buff.ly/d9lBTQN
Water levels on the Danube River, the second longest in Europe, have dropped so low because of drought that the hulks of dozens of World War II German battleships are emerging into view. https://to.pbs.org/4pVTyKS
The Danube River's water is dropping so low that World War II ships are emerging
In the middle of the river separating Serbia and Romania near the Serbian port of Prahovo, a rusty hull is now visible along with a broken mast where the Nazi flag used to fly.

I want to believe that society has evolved to make billionaires unfuckable, and the fact that Musk is no longer photographed with famously beautiful women is undeniable, but the simpler (and therefore more plausible) explanation here might just be botched surgery theory
Playboy@playboy.com · yesterdayAs they amass more money and power, the public views billionaires as sweaty psychos Scrooge McDucking their way into evil amounts of cash. The collective ick emerging raises a question that wealthy men might prioritize over ethical perceptions: Have billionaires become categorically unfuckable?
The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.

today's cards: change is the only constant; everything is flux. try to keep this in mind when your brain wants to start filling up with anxiety swords: there is nothing to be done but focus on being the still centre of the wheel as it turns. #tarotsky
This is still one of my favourite photos, mainly because he told the government "you'll have to arrest me" and FDR went "fine" and literally told the press where and when he was going to arrest him

I am developing a photography course for at-home students and this is a consideration of mine right now. These thermal roll printing cameras are popular and would work great for Foundations exercises, but I don't wanna be poisoning my students 😖

Library pro tip: never go in without locking the emergency stop. If the lights are motion activated and you’re alone, they will definitely turn off if you’re in there, someone will come in and assume sensibly that there’s no one there. Ask my busted ribs how we know!
