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.

Zuckerberg just absolutely loves taking that ad money from fake ass, ugly ass, illegal ass scam ass bum ass fuck ass fake companies. And they're not going to stop. I think the compromise I'm willing to make is they can keep taking the money, just don't run the ads! Win-win for Meta and the public.

After WIRED contacted Meta about the ads, they were removed for violating policies on child sexual exploitation. However, the researchers kept finding more of the ads—including duplicates of those reported. Hours before we published, they found another 30, including multiple that were 'live' ads

It’s me I’m like a lot of Americans I ✅support same sex marriage ✅care about the environment ✅will grind society’s bones to a powder through unchecked free market economics and key-jangling propaganda to avoid paying a single dollar of my taxes

Here's the rest of the strip.

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

the big complaint generally revolves around schools, but the timeline there was pretty sensible: most schools were fully remote until the vaccine rollout, after which they fairly quickly moved to in-person learning.

I said this yesterday but I didn’t want it to come true *this* quickly

Getting very tired of the tech bros making their inability to grapple with mortality everyone else's problem.

You can't just shoot a series of commercials with the premise "This takes place behind the scenes of a commercial" you have to actually produce the commercial, too. Otherwise what's the point of the meta-obfuscation

Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts

The humans responsible for genAI commercials and adverts for online casino apps should not have grave markings. Anonymous burials for nameless demons. Grace in their forgottenness.

I was open to giving SPIDER-MAN: BRAND MANAGEMENT DAY a look if nothing else than to participate in informed discussions. But the thing that made me even ditch the idea of using a FREE TICKET voucher to see it (at a theater where Disney's voucher talons might not reach) is hearing there's X-Men shit

as a society we are well past due in establishing No Content Zones where making shit for tiktok is explicitly forbidden

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

"Death of the author" is a literary theory that emphasizes the personal interaction and connection to an artistic work over the concept of an authorial ultimate meaning. "Separate the art from the artist" is a catchphrase to mumble to yourself so you can justify buying more Harry Potter shit.

Fascinating. Also, I'm pretty sure OrGaNiZeD rEtAiL cRiMe isn't a thing, because if it were I would be able to buy goods from my local organized criminal purveyor. Instead I buy deodorant from a local business that does not lock shit up in the Shame Closet. dannykatch.substack.com/p/we-used-to...

Christopher Nolan devoted a substantial amount of his life over the last few years on a project only to be massively critiqued by a leading expert in the field. Other academics seeing this:

People who think Emily Wilson is being mean have clearly never presented a paper at an academic conference

me trying to get pictures to explain my taste in men to someone but not wanting to just google something generic like 'large guys' so i google 'husky gentlemen' and well. i don't know what i expected

If I was a billionaire and therefore so self obsessed with my own personal interests that I’d be ignoring the greater good, I would be spending my money paying people to make movies I want to see.
