There's a telescope at the bottom of the ocean.
Nearly 3500 meters under the sea off the coast of Sicily sits 51 strings holding 18 spheres each.
They sway in the pitch black water and wait for signals from the universe. Scientists have been building this mysterious observatory since 2015, and in February of 2023 they finally saw something….

Saskatchewan Citizens have agreed to rally at their local city halls and Regina legislative building on May 16th at 1:30pm to hold a referendum rally

@Liv_Boeree Deflecting isn't an answer because it pretends
1. When this situation happens it's marketed exactly as presented instead of the choice be presented in an innocuous way.
2. That this choice will never occur in reality
3. "a monster" not a perceived friend presents it.

This is the only correct answer to the red blue button game FYI

@waitbutwhy The real question is which monster forced this shitty game on the world in the first place, and can the world come together to punish that monster so much that such games never get played again.

The "freedom to be kids" means hiding the abuses of the government from them.
Wab Kinew@WabKinew
Our kids are not for sale. We’re moving forward with a first-in-Canada plan to ban social media and AI chatbots for youth - because these platforms are built to capture attention, not protect it. Childhood should be about learning, growing, and being present. Not endless scrolling designed for profit. We owe the next generation something simple: the freedom to be kids. A lot done. A lot more to do.

Carney is taking a cash withdrawal from a credit card and putting it in a piggy bank with a label "sovereign wealth fund"
A SWF is a good idea however the reality is Carney is deficit spending at levels never seen in Canadian history. This is marketing for low IQ voters.
The Food Professor@FoodProfessor
PM Carney announced this morning the creation of Canada’s first sovereign wealth fund, echoing models already in place at the provincial level. Reporters asked sharp, substantive questions — easily one of the best press conferences I’ve seen in years. When pressed on why Canadians should care, especially as many struggle to pay for groceries, the Prime Minister suggested he doesn’t expect everyone to understand or be concerned. Fair enough. But that was a missed opportunity. He could have clearly explained how such a fund might strengthen Canada’s food supply chain — improving resilience, boosting competitiveness, and supporting investment in logistics and processing. It could even help attract more global players to our agri-food sector. Instead, that connection was left unexplored. And for Canadians feeling the pressure at the checkout, that’s the part that matters most.

@SciGuySpace What's entirely obvious is that their only concern is their image and not the astronauts they would end up killing.

If you had a nickel for every time Thales Alenia Space mentioned “corrosion” in its Gateway press statement you would be … dead broke.

Canadian voters are experts at self harm. We have to stop doing this to ourselves.
The Food Professor@FoodProfessor
"Canadians have chosen pain over prosperity. Most don’t realize it yet, but that’s the path they’ve taken. Turning our backs on the most powerful economy in history is beyond comprehension—and it will make things even more challenging for our farmers and Canada’s agri-food sector."

@SenSanders Assassination is official policy of the Democrat Party

Hey @jimmykimmel, what is funny about this? Joking is one thing, but wishing death on the President by telling Melania “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow”? That’s not comedy, that’s dangerous rhetoric. We’re better than this.
English
A functioning democracy relies on the premise that people can express their political views freely without fear of being attacked or assassinated.
Political violence is political cowardice. It is unacceptable in all forms.

@Aaronpete_ Indoctrinating children into David Eby's apartheid racist view of the world should be banned. This is Canada, all people are equal. There's no such thing as stolen land.
English
This is silliness.
Of course, there’s speech that public servants shouldn’t say when representing the government.
Collectively, as a society we agreed to certain things like religion not being taught in school.
I’m very clearly on record saying I don’t love land acknowledgements, that I don’t think they’re useful, productive or meaningful.
That said, I’ve seen them on occasion be used to connect people with the rivers, mountains, and life around us - and in my view those are land acknowledgements at their best - that we must take care of this planet, protect biodiversity, and do our best to live in harmony with nature.
Now, most commonly, they’re empty statements about unceded territory - and I don’t support those.
But banning speech like this, I don’t think is needed. It’s not compelled speech and I see those arguing that it is de facto compelled, and if that feels that way then a simple message from the government saying “Land Acknowledgements are not compelled and don’t feel obligated to do so” is a reasonable, measured response.
Banning the ability for teachers or any public servant to say something like this is over the top and unnecessary.
I know my critics think this is the right move, and they’re welcome to that view.
But banning speech always starts with something that’s agreeable to some of the population, but you open that door at your peril, because there’s no guarantee they’ll stop there.
That’s why banning speech, no matter how much you hate the speech being said, is dangerous.
Yes, today it’s public servants - but tomorrow it could go beyond that.
That is the risk of banning speech.
That’s why we must tread carefully when politicians offer these solutions.

@Aaronpete_ Is there any speech by teachers in public schools that you would prohibit?

@bscholl Elon spent $42 billion giving the world back free speech. That's a million times more valuable than all the other rich people put together.
English
The idea of billionaires needing to give back is deeply fucked up.
Elon is rich because he gave the world many things it wouldn’t have had otherwise.
The world pays him back merely with money.
If you ask me, the world got the better end of the bargain.
Forbes@Forbes
Elon Musk is the planet’s richest person by far, worth $839 billion as of Forbes’ annual World’s Billionaires list. He also ranks among the least philanthropic billionaires. Sure, Musk has transferred $8.5 billion of Tesla stock to his charitable foundations (1% of his net worth)—but nearly all of it is still sitting there idle. Only an estimated $500 million, or 0.06% of Musk’s vast fortune, has ever been disbursed to those in need. His lack of giving raises a question: What would our billionaires ranking look like if the world’s most generous people had never donated a dollar to charity? forbes.com/sites/mattduro…

i know this for VERY annoying reasons, but watson and crick's DNA paper is still copyrighted. so much for open science.
842 words. 73 years old. watson and crick both passed away. british taxpayers funded it. nature still owns it. the iconic helix drawing was made by odile crick, who wasn't even an author, and her copyright runs separately through 2078. the data was rosalind franklin's photo 51, taken without her consent. she got no royalties in life. nature still collects them.
watson died last november, so under UK law the paper enters public domain on january 1, 2096. 143 years of private rent on a publicly-funded discovery, while nature publishes editorials about open science.
i'm the founder of a biotech company and i cannot legally put this paper on our website. the pattern is constant in biology: the moment an observation crosses a publisher's desk, the observer loses it. franklin's photo. paywalled, MTA'd, or licensed back to the people who paid for it.
this stuff they do to a scientist's work is even worse than what happens to musicians and artists and no one cares.

It feels like these young women as so desperate to hear "I love you" that they're willing to pay a stranger to say it.
Steve Hunsaker | Home Service Accelerator@stevehunsaker1
One just opened by my house…90% women in line Staff says “love you” when they give you your drink. All 18-20s aged girls working there. The pain in these girls voice as they reluctantly looked me in my eyes to say “LOVE YOU” as I got my cold brew. I will not be returning.
