An amateur astronomer may have just spotted the first known comet (or asteroid) impact on Saturn.

We've seen impact flashes on the Moon & Jupiter, but this would be by far the most distant one yet observed. 🧪🔭

I sure hope this asshat catches and dies...slowly...from a disease with a vaccine.

Bloomberg: The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism

Elected officials must be held accountable, now and in the future, for the lives lost in disasters brought on by increasingly extreme weather.

By Michael R. Bloomberg

"...The tragic news out of central Texas has been heartbreaking, but it’s also been maddening — because so many lives could have been saved if elected officials had done their jobs. They owe the families who lost loved ones — the death toll from the Fourth of July floods is now at more than 100 — more than thoughts and prayers. They owe them a sincere commitment to righting their deadly wrong, by tackling the problem they’ve turned their backs on for too long: climate change...."

The image features a woman holding a glass of beer against a blue background. She is wearing a black dress with thin straps and a bracelet on her wrist. The text on the image reads "Alcohol! Because Sometimes the Truth Needs a Laxative." The woman is depicted in a vintage style, with her hair styled in an updo and wearing dangling earrings. The glass of beer is held in her right hand, and the beer appears to be a light-colored lager with a frothy head. The overall tone of the image is humorous, with the text suggesting a playful connection between alcohol and the idea of revealing the truth.

The image features a woman dressed in a black dress with silver embellishments, holding a glass of beer. She is wearing a bracelet and earrings, and her hair is styled in a classic, vintage manner. The background is a solid blue color. The text on the image reads "Alcohol! Because Sometimes the Truth Needs a Laxative." The text is in white, with "Alcohol!" in a larger font size and bold style, while the rest of the text is in a smaller, regular font. The overall style of the image is reminiscent of vintage advertisements.

What is this new Bitchat scam that crypto-bros think is good?


My friend was telling me of this, thinking since its crypto related it must be really good. I said this has been around for many years and there are much better solutions than any that Jack is going to come up with to scam us. Have you guys heard of this?

I have to laugh at these tech-bros that actually know nothing, thinking they are great genius inventors. Reminds me of fElon.

Pro doesn't like this.

The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." The bottom part of the image is divided into two sections. On the left, there is a photograph of a man kneeling on one knee, proposing to a woman who is standing and holding a jacket. The man is wearing a gray shirt, and the woman is wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans. On the right, there is a badge with a silhouette of the same proposal scene. The badge shows a man kneeling and a woman standing, but the woman's silhouette is incomplete, with a noticeable gap where her head should be. The badge is gold-colored with a black background.

The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." Below the text, there are two images side by side. The left image shows a man kneeling on one knee, holding a woman's hand, proposing to her. The woman is standing, wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans, holding a jacket. The background appears to be an outdoor setting with a building and some greenery. The right image shows a badge with a silhouette of the proposal scene. The badge has a gold-colored figure of the man and woman, with the man kneeling and the woman standing. The silhouette is somewhat abstract and lacks detail, which is the source of the humor in the meme.

Pressure works. Debbie Downers are wrong.

"Michelle Roos, executive director of the Environmental Protection Network, a group of former EPA employees, called the administration’s latest court filing a “step in the right direction” in a written statement, saying it came in the wake of “fierce public pressure and legal accountability." thehill.com/policy/energy-envi…

“For an institution like the Modern to be caught in this situation, and then everybody goes silent? Everybody. You can’t talk to anyone. And I sort of wonder if me opening my big mouth puts me at risk of reaction. Nobody wants to say anything to possibly get themselves in any trouble.” texasobserver.org/fort-worth-s…

The image features a woman with shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair, standing outdoors with a backdrop of green foliage. She is wearing a historical-style dress with a light-colored blouse and a brown corset-like bodice with a lace-up front. The blouse has a green trim around the neckline and sleeves, and the corset has a quilted pattern with metal eyelets and black laces. The woman's expression is neutral, and she is looking directly at the camera. The lighting suggests it is daytime, and the overall color palette includes earthy tones.

Sta arrivando la sesta puntata di @123podcast ! Da una parte ci sto prendendo gusto, dall'altra la cosa mi sta prendendo la mano e mi sa che stavolta si sfora oltre la mezz'ora, cosa impensabile se vuoi fare soldi con un podcast a colpi di contenuti brevi e virali. Ma siccome campo già del mio stipendio, posso concedermi il lusso moderno della logorrea.

L'immagine mostra una finestra di un software di editing audio, probabilmente Reaper, con una sequenza di tracce audio. La barra degli strumenti in alto contiene vari pulsanti e opzioni per la gestione del progetto, come "File", "Seleziona", "Vista", "Trasporto", "Genera", "Effetti", "Analisi", "Strumenti" e "Aiuto". La barra di spostamento in alto centrale mostra il tempo in minuti e secondi, con un cursore che indica la posizione attuale.

Le tracce audio sono visualizzate in una griglia orizzontale, con ogni traccia rappresentata da una linea blu che mostra la forma d'onda del suono. Alcune tracce sono selezionate, evidenziate in grigio scuro, mentre altre sono in grigio chiaro. Le tracce sono etichettate con nomi come "07 Sequenza", "05 Sequenza", "14 VV Commu. - Luz ademira" e "14 VV Commu. - Recordare". Le tracce "Audio 1" e "Audio 1.2" sono visibili in basso, con forme d'onda più dettagliate.

A sinistra, un pannello di controllo mostra opzioni per "Muta" e "Solo", con pulsanti per "L" (sinistra) e "R" (destra). Sotto, un pannello di effetti consente di applicare effetti audio alle tracce selezionate. La finestra è ben organizzata e offre una vista chiara delle tracce audio e delle opzioni di editing.
