New images of the Sun so detailed you can almost see its face! Textbook Kelvin–Helmholtz instability patterns in images with resolution of ~20 km. With quotes from @manicule.bsky.social and @hannahschunker.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/science... ☄️ ⚛️ 🔭 🧪
We've never seen the Sun in this much detail before
The highest-resolution imagery of the Sun's surface ever taken reveals dizzying currents, and clues about our star's magnetic fields.

This encapsulates modern academia though: useless bullshitter given 8 major honours for producing nothing but lies. Many such cases.

NEW: NSF NRAO radio observations help rule out a relativistic jet in rare stellar explosion Radio observations help show that a rare stellar explosion did not produce the powerful jet often associated with gamma-ray bursts. #VeryLargeArray #VLA #NRAO
NSF NRAO radio observations help rule out a relativistic jet in rare stellar explosion - National Radio Astronomy Observatory
Astronomers used radio, X-ray, and optical observations to study EP260321a/SN 2026gzf, revealing a rare supernova shock breakout and no clear sign of the powerful jet often linked to gamma-ray bursts

I'm afraid you've completely misread Blake, Marcus. The Mills are Lockean rationalism, Newtonian mechanics, academic dogma, institutional orthodoxy grinding human imagination into dust: the 'Loom of Locke' & 'Water-wheels of Newton.' The Urizenic tyranny of reductive Scientism.
Marcus Chown@marcuschown.bsky.social · 5d agoThe “dark satanic mills” of Blake’s “Jerusalem“ were not inspired by northern mills but by Albion Mill, a steam-powered flour mill near London’s Blackfriars Bridge which was attacked by Luddites in 1791.
Ironic, using Tony Blair's line following the 7 July London terrorist attacks...

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social · yesterdayThe war. It always comes back to the war. That happened long before they were born.
This is utterly clueless. Its like reverse analysis... seeing the exact opposite of what's there.
Nick Cohen @nickcohen.bsky.social · 2d ago“Trump’s US is a paper tiger” Like a child in a playground flailing his fists, Donald Trump is strong enough to inflict pain but is too weak to deliver a killer blow. Podcast with Phillips O’Brien and piece from me on how Iran is humiliating America
How does Andrew know what's 'already' going on on X? I thought he'd left it some time ago?🧦
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 7h agoIdiots out in force already on Facebook and X banging on about "migrants" and how Sadiq Khan's London "isn't safe"... even as they entirely ignore the nature of this very worrying incident
Very interesting stigmergic intelligence.
Physics Magazine@physicsmagazine.aps.org · 8h agoColony-wide activity among ants occurs either steadily or in sudden bursts. Researchers have found that switching from one state to the other can be modeled as a phase transition controlled by the speed at which ants travel and other parameters.
This guy's been posting non-stop GPT slop for days. What do ppl get out of it? Not even engaging with arguments, just regurgitating a script... It sums up NPC Leftism in a nutshell. 🤖
How weird to see people with 'science' in their bio not only mistake iterative design methodology for failure, but actively cheer for that perceived failure. What strange people!

Massive taxation and government spending is in the constitution? I thought they started the country cos they didnt want to pay tax?

This is dishonest & unscientific disinfo. Hes pretending personal allowance baseline is a total. But the state pays rent on top, plus child + health top-ups. Real household awards routinely £1,200–£2,000+./month, disincentivising productivity.
Marcus Chown@marcuschown.bsky.social · yesterdayOur tax-avoiding billionaire-owned media outlets and rightwing politicians are always banging on about our over-generous welfare system. Universal credit is ~£400 a month. I wonder how they would survive on ~400 a month?
This is convincing to tribal NPCs who have no concept of propaganda, Complex systems, incentives and feedback loops. Its infantile, and Tyson is a literal joke in actual science circles.

You see this and think fair enough! Valid point. Then you read the comments realise they support Hamas & they're trying to equate Nazi extermination of Jews with border control. Utterly bewildering!
@lakerpatrick.bsky.social · yesterdayOn this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
BSKY DISINFO: "Every new oil and gas project makes the heatwaves worse." UK emissions are pointlessly small. New green tech is coming online all the time. These climate changes are millennia old, its not a machine, its a Complex System.
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · yesterdayWe need to act now.
What if the person's creed is Nazism? Can we judge them then? Can we distinguish between groups at all? Leftist identity politics tells us we must. That black needs to be capitalised. Can we suppose a Celtic FC fan even supports Celtic FC? Or is it all just a mystery... shroedingers Rangers Fan?
Scotland's No1 Comrade@scotlandscomrade.bsky.social · 2d agoSTRONG message from Celtic FC fans last night amid recent protests in the city “It is not the creed or nationality of a man that defines him. It is the man himself. “Celtic FC - anti-racist since 1888.” ☘️ Good to see 👏 would love to see this replicated across the country.
Release of violent criminals is a trend across the West. Why?
Paul Brand@paulbrand.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Thames Valley Police is damning of Burnham’s early release policy, which will allow PC Harper’s killers to be let out early. Burnham will stop the early release of rapists and child sex offences, but not killers. “This decision is demoralising for all police officers.”
Genuinely fascinating. Even with the transcripts right in the thread, she insists that Trump said people should inject bleach. Is it just dishonesty? Possibly, but I think it's extreme motivated reasoning: she's so invested in it being true, even real evidence wont dispel that belief.
Here are the quotes you asked for John. There are many other examples, this is just a very small example. Looking forward to you admitting your error x bsky.app/profile/rati...
John Fugelsang@johnfugelsang.bsky.social · yesterdayWhat specific lie did he say, please? Do you have an actual quote that motivates your disdain? And why are Trump's hundreds of deliberate lies less offensive to you?
Interesting. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social quietly deleted his tweet after realising he was totally wrong & muted the thread with me giving me sourced quotes that he asked for. Tawdry behaviour. No character.
