Yesterday wasn't my first time climbing the tower, but this was the first time there was enough daylight for us to take photos.
The view from the very peak of the UST Main Building Cross Tower. The back of the clock, Tria Haec, Plaza Mayor and the Benavides Garden are visible along with a few buildings from the España skyline Ma'am Pat and I at the peak of the cross tower There's a narrow spiral staircase you need to climb first before getting near the Cross

Got to try the famous "Guapple Pie" from Silay City, around 20 minutes away from Bacolod / 10 minutes from Bacolod-Silay airport. It's been days and I'm still thinking about how good it is. Will definitely be going back 😋

Now that the 4th episode of #EXUDivergence is airing tonight, I can finally compile all 4 overlays that I had the absolute pleasure creating. Where #EXUCalamity had graphics that slowly crumbled into ruins, Divergence shows the growth of new life ♥️🌱

Atmospheric CO2 is rising so quickly now that the 2024 low point is *higher* than the peak CO2 reading from 2022 at Mauna Loa.

40 years ago, Syukuro Manabe from NOAA said that if emission trends continued, relative greenhouse gas concentrations would reach a level equivalent to doubling CO₂ above pre-industrial values "possibly as early as year 2030".

We are already there!

Here’s a simple way to illustrate how the warming rate has increased over the past few decades. It’s an extrapolation of the linear trend of global avg temp in 2000 vs the same for 2024.
In 2024 we reach +1.5C by 2030. In 2000 the trend showed 2041. Tool via Copernicus.

for the neptune lovers 💙
In this Webb image, Neptune resembles a pearl with rings that look like ethereal concentric ovals around it. There are 2 thinner, crisper rings and 2 broader, fainter rings. A few extremely bright patches on the lower half of Neptune represent methane ice clouds. Six tiny white dots, which are six of Neptune’s 14 moons, are scattered among the rings. The background of the image is black. Neptune appears as a light blue crescent against the darkness of space. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Kevin M. Gill Neptune appears as a large blue crescent, illuminated on its left side. Triton appears as a much smaller brown crescent, also illuminated on its left side. Triton is on the bottom of Neptune. Voyager image of Neptune. The planet appears dark blue and dark atmospheric features can be seen across the planet.

My 20s gave me so much to be thankful for, but it also hurt me a lot. 2024 at least had more ups than downs.
Goodbye, my 20s; I'll be starting my 30s in 2025. I find myself cautiously optimistic 😊

Cool thing about video games nowadays? There are soooo many.

You don’t have to like them all, and if you don’t like it you can just not play it. It’s easy.

Don’t hate games that didn’t click with you, celebrate and elevate the ones that do.

Also let me be completely honest: it’s because I’m arrogant enough to believe that nobody could pull the book I’m imagining in my head off better than me.

Not a machine. Not another ghost writer. Not another human being. Nobody.

Truly. I want to write things that are meaningful to me, and the act of writing about things is as much an exploration as anything else.

Is anyone else just *not interested* in using AI for their writing? All accuracy and morality aside, I just don't want to. I want every last word I put on a page to have flowed out from my own body. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but I just can't see it any other way.

these accounts often spread misinformation in the science community and make it so much more difficult for real science communicators to gain people’s trust.

please follow real scientists and science communicators!!

PSA: Be weary of content #scraper accounts on this platform. They are popping up in large numbers and share stolen images (i.e. without credit or permission), often for their own monetary gain and without any valuable context.
🔭 (1/6)
@allabtgalaxy profile page, 68K followers, with an AI generated profile picture. First post shows the Heart nebula, the picture was stolen from Trevor Jones (Astrobackyard) and he is not credited in the post. spaceinanutshell profile, followed by 3.4K people, the first image shows an illustration of a black hole that has been reposted on other similar accounts hundreds of times before. No idea if this is a real illustration or AI.

Consolidation around the anime industry is upsetting but not new, since corpos have been acquiring studios left and right..........................but the sentence "Sony in talks to acquire Kadokawa" is such a horrifying sentence I physically recoiled. No thank you
