So sad to hear that the iconic, trailblazing, Apollo 11 moon landing software engineering lead, Margaret Hamilton, is no longer with us. Love this image of her, standing next to a print out of the software that landed Buzz Aldrin and Neil Amstrong on the moon! 👩‍🔬🔭🛰️🧪 ℹ️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

sorry but...I'm gonna have to pass

Holy shit! My local library just adopted ComicsPlus which is basically an all you can read streaming platform for comics and manga. Looks like a lot of series even get the latest volume on the day of release! Sincerely wonder how this can be profitable for the publishers but I'm not complaining lol

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

It’s frustrating that a war criminal can enter our country whenever he wants, and even more baffling that the UN allows him to speak. Would they have given the same platform to Bin Laden, Hitler, or other notorious despots from history in order to spread their lies? The UN has become a joke!

This is probably the best film of all time and it boggles my mind that all promotional posters look like this. Every time I recommend it to someone the poster turns them off. Then I force them to watch it and it's a life changing experience every single time.

The stores have started putting out their Halloween stuff, so you know what that means...

A lot of modern media instills this idea that we alone with enough strength can do anything we want, when in reality we live in a community of individuals who collectively work towards goodness, and you never know how the chaos of the universe will lead us to a better future. It’s not all on you.

While Frodo does show perseverance and strength, it was the fellowship that guided him. It was Aragorn and his army at the black gate that distracted Sauron’s eye, Sam who carried him to Mount Doom, and ultimately Gollum in his obsession who destroys the ring.

Something I think a lot about Lord of the Rings is how one of the messages is that there isn’t a chosen one, that you individually cannot achieve this monumental task but it’s giving yourself to the universe and trusting that a combination of many individuals will get it done.

This book saved me from tumbling further down the alt-right pipeline and was my first step into leftist ideas. I cannot recommend it enough. It should be required reading for anyone, even if you're already a leftist.

If you want to read about how the capitalist society does everything in its power to convince you that you can solve any problem with your own strength, and tries in every way to stop you from finding community...

You're saying that green guy from dragonball z was animating all those shows? Wow

"Bluesky is dying" bro you're talking about a website full of 38 year olds who have fringe political beliefs and listen to black metal bands with >1000 listeners on spotify, nobody here cares about popularity

Didn't have much time to read last month, but I picked this up again last week and just finished it. What a beautiful haunting story. Another one from Ward that will stick with me for a very long time.

It's finally here. The new @catrionaward.bsky.social. It released a couple of months ago already, but somehow it was super hard to get ahold of where I live. Let's hope I last more than two days with this one, although that's usually not the case with her novels haha.
