The folks @makersasylum in India were on this from the beginning but got basically no support and no press because tech media wanted to focus on a white savior narrative and tech bros making useless 3D-printed masks and Arduino bag stomper ventilators.

Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems.

Wow!🤯 @NASA have just released this spectacular comparison between an image captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the same region of space seen by Webb's Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) 👇
Exciting times ahead for Infrared Astronomy! 🤩
Webb’s image, taken by its MIRI instrument, features light from “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons." These molecules of carbon & hydrogen help us better understand the gas that exists between stars. Get ready for Webb to #UnfoldTheUniverse in unprecedented detail this summer!
ALT A side-by-side comparison of the same view of part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, as seen in infrared by Spitzer's IRAC instrument on the left versus Webb's MIRI instrument on the right. Both images are colorized red. Webb's image shows much clearer detail, depicting crisper stars and clouds of gas.

I am appalled by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the Ukrainian people and we will play our part in assisting them in their time of need.
That’s why I am immediately lifting visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland. This will apply to all Ukrainians.

this is the first time I have ever seen messaging about sexual violence be targeted at men instead of women
Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy

“Thank you all for coming to my mystery murder party!”
“Don’t you mean murder mystery?”
“No, in a murder mystery the enigma is the killer’s identity. But I am tonight’s murderer. The puzzle is how everyone will die.”
“Wait, if we’re all victims, who solves it?”
“Ideally, no one.”
