When you are driving though a very bright commercial area and thought you were out of the eclipse zone so weren’t losing attention but then your husband texts you and says “sure looks like an eclipse ” 😆

Dreadful scenes from the devastating Rasuwa flood in Nepal/Tibet. My heart goes out to everyone affected. It likely began with a glacier collapse / rock–ice avalanche recorded by seismometers worldwide. I hope real-time seismic monitoring can support early warning for communities downstream.
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
Just dawned on me that we lost two officers of the Red October in a month
Ok, that’s two famous 80 year olds. Maybe the next one to go can not be a beloved cultural icons. 🙄
One of the more obscure facts I remember about Dolly Parton is this: just like Star Trek would not exist without Lucille Ball, Buffy would not exist without Dolly Parton. She was a silent producer of the movie and show. That's why Buffy Summers has the same birthday as Dolly: January 19.
kind of wonderful to read all these stories about someone who inspires such an outpouring of joy tbh
There are so many donations happening right now that the site has crashed.
Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social · 2d agoHere's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
US Science folks: I know there are a million questions about these new NSF solicitations and what’s happening generally through all of this [waves arms]. This might start to answer some Qs, and at the bottom please sign up for the Sept 15 Office Hours! www.nsf.gov/geo/updates/...

When a bad approval rating hits, they go all in on the anti-trans rhetoric, don’t they? Man, I’ll be glad when this shit seems like an anachronism and science reigns supreme once again. 🙄
I feel like the people upset about this have never listened to a single Dr. Dre lyric. 😂
As mentioned in my comment on USPS's new ballot rule, the American postal service was born in 1774 _because_ the alternative system (the Crown's post) let the executive decide which mail not to deliver. For a Court riveted by bespoke historical analogs, this rule is 252 years of unAmerican.

It’s appropriate to lament Gary being a city with terrible infrastructure and support due to white flight and decades of lack of funding, however the shit going on right now is due to an unprecedented bad storm. Climate change doesn’t spare wealthy white folks, y’all. It’s the great equalizer.
This is a real letter that President Trump’s aide sent to him.
say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
See? She’s the perfect mole working on behalf of a foreign agent.
Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · last wk.THREAD I have held off on assessing Harp from a distance for several reasons, mostly because playing shrink based on leaked media reports is just dumb.

Honestly, it’s not ethical to support anything branded as Harry Potter anymore.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · last wk.One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Shit, this Natalie Harp person could be a spy and no one would know. I mean, not that anyone in this administration would know if anyone was a spy but she's especially weird. Good grief.
This isn't just a story about rogue spam PACs and fundraising firms like PTP and Mothership that the party hasn't reined in. There's a cottage industry of spam vendors, and the DCCC/DSCC's fundraising bears the hallmarks of elder financial exploitation, just toned down. Side-by-side comparison 👇🧵
