Ozzy Osbourne, Rock God Despite Himself (1948–2025) The Prince of Darkness, who gave us heavy metal as we know it, has been laid to rest.

I wrote about John “Ozzy” Osbourne—a working class lad made good, who rose from a slaughterhouse killing floor to the highest echelons of rock stardom in spite of himself, who gave us heavy metal and left a more complex legacy than many realize—for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/cult...

This image is a promotional graphic for SciPy India's first virtual meetup. The design features a gradient background transitioning from teal/cyan in the top left to deep purple in the bottom right. On the left side, there are several white line-art scientific icons arranged vertically: an atom symbol at the top, followed by a DNA double helix, a laboratory beaker with bubbles, a laptop computer, and geometric 3D cubes at the bottom. The main content is positioned on the right side in white text. At the top is the "SciPy India" logo, featuring a circular emblem with an "S" design. Below that, "Virtual Meetup #1" appears in large text. The primary call-to-action message reads "SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS BY 22ND JULY, 2025" in bold, uppercase letters. Beneath this, there's an urgent reminder stating "3 DAYS LEFT!" in very large, prominent text. At the bottom of the image, social media handles are listed: "@scipyindia.bsky.social" with a Bluesky butterfly icon, "scipyindia" with a LinkedIn icon, and "@scipyindia@fosstodon.org" with a Mastodon icon. The overall design employs a modern, scientific aesthetic with clean typography and iconography that reflects the Python scientific computing community served by SciPy India.

📢 The CFP closes 22nd July 2025 EoD IST – no extensions! We’re especially looking for folks using or creating FOSS in STEAM and academic research.

I love the doodling—it was one of the best aspects of speaking at this conference! 🥰 and did I mention they do it all on the spot?!

Why am I seeing so much commentary about OpenAI's theft of Studio Ghibli's creative work illustrated with synthetic Studio Ghibli style images? Just because you're talking about the harm doesn't give you a free pass to do more of the harm....
