This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.
This is true, and if you have not yet considered this possibility, please do!
Gretchen McCulloch@gretchenmcculloch.com · 3h agoOne of the great joys of my adult life has been realizing that I can just pick up a new skill every so often, take a fun little class in it weekly for a year or two, and simply enjoy meeting people and getting medium proficient and not attempting to become professional in it at all!
One of the things about generative AI that particularly infuriates me is that some of the most fun I’ve ever had has been teaching myself how to do things around my own constraints I’m bad at art too. But I have PaintShop Pro! So I found some tutorials and *taught myself to make book covers*
Suzan the chalant goth@sillysyntax.bsky.social · 10h agoMy partner created something recently. They needed art. They are not good at art. They went to a stock photo company that uses zero AI and licensed a photo for like 30 dollars. There is no excuse to use an AI cover. Or any generative AI in writing except that you suck.
So Tom Kean, Jr. missed 4 months of work and received compensation with zero consequence. Mitch McConnell has missed approximately 7 weeks also being compensated with zero consequence. These are the same people who vote against Americans receiving the same treatment. VOTE BLUE. Medicare 4 all.
THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 5h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

all my interactions with ai are miserable and nonconsensual. it is the reason my programs are running slowly, why my weather report is inaccurate, why I always get connected to the wrong department of any automated call service. I would pay a lot of money to be rid of it.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

doctor junko lover (danny)@danmeichael.bsky.social · 16h agoacne treatment is healthcare and people don't like smelling bad but i think the degree to which people are uncomfortable with pimples or smelling even slightly of a living body is a biproduct of the beauty industry trying to profit by creating disgust with the unaltered body. idk.

Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.

No more Sims games for us. No more EA games either, for that matter. Some words on why.
My grandma used to grow beansprouts in her closet in New Mexico. My great-grandma would bring Ghirard's dressing and ranch dressing packets when she visited because they weren't in the stores. Bush's baked beans weren't national yet. It's amazing, the food we can get anywhere now!

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
