we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Not sure if I ever shared the scale model Transit van on here. So I’ll do a bit. It’s basically very loosely based on the types of knackered vans me and mates had and used in the 80s and 90s to cart band gear about in.
This is 1/24th scale.

Under the hood, it is the actual SymPy running locally via wasm. Currently, we support only a small fraction of its capabilities, and we are working on expanding that coverage.

Whoa! Just came across #JWST Helix Nebula image!
Left is my backyard image of the Helix Nebula.
Right, JWST is looking at the same nebula.
Little white box in my image is about same size/location as the 2nd image. (assuming)

Text is a string. Math isn’t. It grows in every direction into multi-line structures. That’s why people still do math on paper. We’re bringing that experience to computers. Corca is WYSIWYG math editor, and it's fast!

Cripes. This houses the 91-cm refractor, nearly 140 years old. I hope the damage to the dome and telescope isn't as severe as it looks.
Powerful Christmas Day winds gusting up to 114 mph severely damaged UC Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, forcing the nearly 140-year-old facility to close while officials headquartered at UC Santa Cruz assess structural damage and begin repairs expected to take months.

These guys popped up next to the Fox Theater in Oakland right after the Mars Volta performance, and they actually stole the show for me.

Umm .... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
It even has a cool name: SPECTRUMMATE
A low-cost Spectrometer for Small Telescopes.
This would make an excellent addition to amateur and pro-am astrophotographers, as well as Uni depts and local observatories.
WANT.

This is a solar eclipse on Saturn. Titan transits in front of Saturn and casts a shadow. Made this timelapse yesterday, one frame every 3 minutes. Couldn’t capture the whole event because of clouds and those stupid trees.

The Sun is quite active today. There was a significant coronal mass ejection, and this is my attempt to capture sunspots. A strong geomagnetic storm is expected over the next few days, so there's a chance to see the aurora at mid-latitudes.

We’ve finally added tables support! It’s still far from perfect, we have plenty of work to make them more useful. But at least you can now organize your data in tables.
