#PPOD: Astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star R Doradus were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in July and August 2023. 🧪 🔭

Jupiter bonanza scheduled for JWST starting this Friday 🔭 - woo hoo! The teams are calling on amateur astronomers to assist with context imaging of the Solar System's largest planet.

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

In the NWM some folks and I have been working on getting a matrix server set up, PM me if you'd like to hear about it

But also, doesn't quite have voice and video chat. Is that what you get with ICQ, Real Media, or Powwow?

Woah man yeah

Interesting piece describing a term for those cozy group chats

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Good to hear we've heard the same metaphor, and to extend it heck we've already seen immediate effects; if we believe that layoffs are motivated by AI investment changing what companies want to spend money on, then a bunch of people have lost their jobs already!

So yes very agree

Omfg first ever stellar AO3 fanfic??

I love the illustration on this

This is crazy thank you for bringing this into the world I think

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Lancer is a brain worm, and 50,000 people have it What is the community doing over there? A lot, apparently!

Three creators working within Lancer's creative ecosystem told @newmadras.bsky.social that the mech RPG's large fan community isn't just dedicated -- they're indispensable collaborators.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?” The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

@resisttechmonop.bsky.social NICE HELLO

It is obvious at this point that the bombing not only took place on Caracas but on other urban areas such as La Guaira and Higuerote, which are located in the coastline of the country. Furthermore, there hasn't been reported bombings in inner-sectors such as Los Teques or El Hatillo, which are arguably close to Caracas. Liett73 (talk) 07:26, 3 January 2026 (UTC) I would propose a move, but it's too early for now. Ahri Boy (talk) 07:29, 3 January 2026 (UTC) The cause of the explosions is unknown and the government hasn't commented yet. Wait until conformation. I do agree it is most likely strikes, but the cause is reportedly unknown. Bloxzge 025 (talk) 07:31, 3 January 2026 (UTC) Bro I'm literally here in Caracas, I still wonder how I have wired connection, but they are indeed strikes. Liett73 (talk) 07:34, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

libshit wikipedia editors are trying to neutral voice the current illegal aggression against venezuela only to get told by a venezuelan editor that he is literally being bombed right now. un-fucking real

Text reads: Happy Public Domain Day. While the exact list depends on where you live, hundreds of new works are free to use every January 1st.

When clocks strike midnight on the first day each year, a quiet creative revolution starts as hundreds of works move from private control into the public domain, unlocking stories, songs, and images for anyone to reuse.

The world celebrates this big moment with an official Public Domain Day. (1/2)

Orbs 🤤

Stop being savvy.

Stop thinking like a pretend grown-up pragmatist

Start acting like an actual human being, rather than a ruleset for the worlds most annoying debate club.
