The universe is wild.

This streak on a Hubble photo, originally thought to be an imaging glitch, is actually a 200,000 light year trail of new stars formed by the wake of a black hole that was ejected from the galaxy at the top right.

For reference, that streak is about twice the diameter of the Milky Way!

Over the past two years, Elon Musk has lost $200 billion.

Don’t tell me we can’t afford a wealth tax.

Uhm...

Weird observation, this clock has it’s second pointer calibrated almost accurately… and i wanted to go to Switzerland to see accurate clocks…

It’s only the beginning.

From Douglas Adams:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

The Twitter 'Shadow Ban' bug gets an official CVE : CVE-2023-29218 👇🏾

"The Twitter Recommendation Algorithm through ec83d01 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (reduction of reputation score) by arranging for multiple Twitter accounts to coordinate negative signals regarding a target account, such as unfollowing, muting, blocking, and reporting, as exploited in the wild in March and April 2023,"

54 years ago today, the brilliant & delightful Steve Crocker, then at ULCA, circulated to the nascent Network Working Group a "Request for Comment" about Host Software. This was #RFC 1, the first of what are now 9411 technical documents defining (and ever evolving) the Internet as we know it.

To me, the Internet is the RFC series, even more than the computers the implement them.

So: Happy 54th birthday, Internet!

Hard to believe this poem is exactly 1.5 million years old today.

If you use email, then you’re using the Internet technology with the greatest network effect on the planet.

Not even Meta can compete with email.

Better yet, just like the Fediverse, email is federated.

Anyone who says that social media won’t work if it’s decentralized and requires multiple servers is lying: they use email.

And email is why it was so easy for me to delete my Facebook account.

DeSantis needs to go. This story needs to be heard and spread.
