I have now completely switched to BlueSky, but I also keep my Mastodon account alive for now.

The ingratiation of @Apple towards the Trump government (a golden statue WTAF?) makes me rethink my whole integration in the Apple ecosphere. It’s sickening…

I must be angering the flat earth community, I’ve had a few more violent threats than usual in my DMs. Guys, just buy a telescope, it’s literally that easy to see the ISS. Why would millions of private astronomers collaborate on this lie 😂 Here’s raw footage of it I captured:

@authoraid I wonder whether tools like @curvenote has considered ways their platform could facilitate publishing for authors from the global south.

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the

🚀 Exciting sprint sessions at #SciPy2024! Collaborating with maintainers of our favorite scientific python packages is one of the best things of the SciPy conference! 🙌

Wait what? Murati is leaving, Schulman left, Karpathy left, Ilya left, Leike left, Brockman is on leave, perhaps a dozen others left, GPT-5 hasn’t dropped, Sora hasn’t shipped, the company had an operating loss of $5b last year, there is no obvious moat, Meta is giving away

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Donald Trump just announced that he is going to adopt Project 2025’s policy to fire civil servants and hire political staff loyal only to Trump. Retweet to make sure all Americans are aware of Trump’s devious plans.

"Las Meninas" is one of the most revolutionary (and mysterious) paintings in history. At first glance it might not be obvious why. But when you notice its little details, everything unravels… (thread) 🧵

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history. That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail. Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵

Ah well. @facebook , @X and @GoogleDE fly right off my cellphone after this debacle…

That way I always could improve my English by looking up words I don’t know. This is now not possible anymore which I find quite sad for one of the best news services in existence. I sincerely hope that this could be reconsidered. Sincerely, Michael Aye

Our flight dynamics team has analysed @ESA_JUICE's new trajectory following last night's gravity assist at the Moon. Their conclusion? It was a flawless manoeuvre! No fine-tuning or correction is needed before tonight's Earth flyby. 🥳

The #ESAJuice lunar-Earth flyby is the first ever of its kind, but why are we doing it? Because it will: 🎯 bring Juice one step closer to Jupiter ⛽️ save a lot of propellant 🔎 ensure extra science at Ganymede 📍 line Juice up for a Venus flyby Read more 👉

🌏🛰️ Earlier today, #ESAJuice turned to point its science instruments towards Earth, preparing itself for a closest approach to our home planet at 23:56 CEST tonight.

We're keeping a close eye on you, @ESA_JUICE! Our deep space antenna in New Norcia is halfway through a ten-hour session tracking Juice across the cloudy Australian sky. The spacecraft is racing from the Moon towards Earth for the second act of its lunar-Earth flyby tonight.

#ESAJuice is now closer to Earth than satellites in geostationary orbit. Our Space Debris Office has assessed Juice's trajectory for any possible close encounters with space debris or active satellites and confirmed that Juice's path tonight is clear.

When the journey is as exciting as the destination 🛰️ 🌒 #ESAJuice captured stunning views of our Moon, as it zipped by last night. 🌏 In the background, a photobomber: our very own Earth, eagerly waiting for its own close encounter with Juice tonight. Explore the images at
