I have the only EV around that can play 8 Track tapes today.

"Some states’ EV registration fees are very high – New Jersey, for example, charges $270 per year, the highest in the country." This policy brought to you by a Democratic party trifecta...

Unfortunately, as our new @frontiergroup.bsky.social analysis shows, 24 states currently charge EV fees that are greater than what drivers of gasoline-powered cars would pay if they drove a U.S.-average number of miles per year. frontiergroup.org/resources/wh...

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

Everything in The A-Team is canon to Star Trek if you think of it as a holo-program by Reginald Barclay. I’m sure that’s been said before.

‘Masters of the Universe’ drone show spotted over Los Angeles 💥 • Had 1600 drones • Guinness World Record for brightest drone show ever (via Amazon MGM)

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

Oceanographers from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa discovered the answer to how species diversity can be so vast and sustained in a seemingly homogeneous environment like the open ocean. 🌊

‘Tis the season: Sharing resources sustains ocean microbial biodiversity

@colorado.gov As a citizen of Colorado, I agree with Ross Kaminsky. What Peter’s did is not the same as what Jaquez Lewis did. This was not a political prosecution. She was convicted in a Republican district by Republicans. She remains unrepentant and continues to lie about the election.

It works but... Holy cow, I would not want to be relying on that as my last resort!

Meanwhile in Ukraine@meanwhileua.bsky.social · 7mo ago

What works against fiber-optic FPVs. Ukrainian soldiers rely on a Safari shotgun plus a Ptashka net launcher. If buckshot fails, a 4×4 m net fired up to 30 m catches the drone. Battlefield reality over theory.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this. Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage. Let people find joy where they can, please.

The president did not invoke the Insurrection Act yesterday. He’s instead relying on a theory of inherent constitutional power that is far more limited, explains Chris Mirasola. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

No lies detected.

I need to make sure everyone sees the Wayans family dancing to Kendrick.

@tkingfisher.bsky.social Just finished Nettle & Bone. I’ve been intellectually aware of how awful patrilineal succession requiring a male heir must have been for women caught up in that system but this was the first time I have viscerally felt the horror of it. Reminded me of Pratchett. Excellent.

You should always be kind and understanding to grocery staff. But especially more so today. Last minute pre-holiday rush is insane. If you think you’re stressed imagine how they’re feeling. Be patient. Be understanding. Most of all, don’t be a dick.

Christ this is embarrassing. People have been predicting the "end of marriage" nonstop since the 1700s. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Gen Z women are turning left, while men are veering right. Can American marriage be saved?
