I hope over time that more official accounts move to Mastodon. When Twitter explodes again maybe I’ll see you there. Until then,

I started posting to Mastodon some months ago, and generally taking it less seriously. It turns out that having half a dozen people occasionally engage is perfectly sufficient for whatever attention gremlin it is that makes social media work.

If we hear you use the words lifeboat, iceberg, or sinking, you will be permanently banned from using the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The @ADSBExchange account has been suspended.

The moral of the story: do not, do NOT, ask ChatGPT to provide you a factual, scientific information. It will produce an incredibly plausibly sounding hallucination. And even a qualified expert will have troubles pinpointing what is wrong.

I’m a large nitrogen dewar. I provide essential pressure and inert gas to a top tier research lab. This is my daily routine.

Im surprised that they can/are willing to slew fast enough to get reasonably sharp photos of targets in orbit.

Germany is talking about reducing citizenship from 7 years of residency to 5, allowing dual citizenship, and making it easier for skilled workers to immigrate. It’s just…weird? seeing a country trying to make sensible moves around immigration to be more attractive.

What would you do for two hours in Central London on a Tuesday morning? So far my only thought is Greenwich.

Around 11:30 p.m. HST last night, @NOAA's #GOESWest 🛰️ captured the eruption of Hawaii's #MaunaLoa volcano, inside @Volcanoes_NPS. This imagery shows the heat signature and the sulfur dioxide released from the #volcano's summit caldera, Moku‘āweoweo.

Yeeeeeeet! 🚀 This video shows @NASA_Orion’s launch abort system (LAS), built by our engineers, being jettisoned following the successful launch of @NASA_SLS! 🤯

.@Twitter seems to give zero shits about DM spam. Don't even need AI for it, the text is consistently very similar, they could shadowban it with a regexp. Maybe @amazon cares?

~1-m space object - temporary designation #C8FF042 - strikes Earth over Canada, creating stunning #fireball☄️ For only the 6th time in history, this impact was predicted. Find out more about predicting #asteroid impacts from the last time this happened 👉 https://t.co/zwPKXeUEUl

@darth i'm talking about self-identification, all of us look around and see slytherins and hufflepuffs, but we all think we're ravenclaw

The last Halloween I halloweened I went as the popular Magritte painting.

The Magritte museum in Brussels is a very nice collection, though their lighting is annoying. The last photo is a bit of the detail in the second to last.

Twitter branding proposal, Rene Magritte 1940, rejected.

The World Congress against the Death Penalty has kicked off in Berlin today. Germany’s foreign minister and host of the event, Annalena Baerbock, highlighted some of the reasons for abolishing the death penalty.🤓👇

Belgium is my 40th UN-recognized country. A few architecture pics from Brussels:
