Explore ~14 billion years of time in this fascinating graphical summary of events from the Big Bang to the present day by talented artist Pablo Carlos Budassi.

Beginning at center of the spiral, every billion years is represented by a 90-degree stretch, with the exception of the last 500 million years represented as the last 90-degree stretch for greater detail. visualcapitalist.com/cp/nature… #art #science

I love stuff like this. While not nearly as visual, the framing of the universe and earth as 24hr clocks has always blown the kids' minds, too, to communicate large numbers: web.archive.org/web/2015032508…

The light of Earendel, our most beloved star ⭐

Discovered by @NASAHubble, Earendel is the farthest star ever detected. Webb’s fresh look reveals it to be a massive B-type star more than twice as hot and about a million times more luminous than our Sun: go.nasa.gov/3Os44aC

Earendil was a mariner
That tarried in Arvernien
...
The Flammifer of Westernesse



Earendel is only detectable thanks to a galaxy cluster between the star and us. The cluster’s gravity bends light, magnifying what's behind it—in the case of Earendel, by a factor of at least 4000! Based on its colors, astronomers think Earendel may have a cooler companion star.

@nasa: I'm currently reading "Not Yet Imagined", the story of the Hubble Space Telescope and it's truly fascinating. Thank-you for these publications and providing them for free.

Into the #Unknome. The function of many human genes still remains mysterious; @mjafreeman, Sean Munro &co present an “Unknome database,” and show that screens focusing on the "Unknome" can shed light on fundamental biological processes #PLOSBiology plos.io/3YqumhS


Motivated by the recent discussion around the cancer microbiome, I’ve written a small blog investigating some of the difficulties in normalising microbiome data. github.com/gtonkinhill/TCGA_an…

Being in the non-mainstream Vue/Nuxt and Web Components camp, my opinions are obvious. I'm not sharing this to rattle sabers, but because I think Josh makes a great point that the weird/hard stuff in React simply aren't problems in other (modern) frameworks.

I tried to see this from my backyard but I guess I live too close to the city. Such a great photo!!!


we're live at Local Tech Ecologies today, organized by @ntnsndr and @medlab - we'll be talking about the lab, and we've brought some of our One Laptop Per Child XO-1 laptops as an interactive exploration of hyper-local networking (and of reclaiming technologies with Complicated History for humanistic purposes)

Hi all, my book is finally officially out through Repeater Books today!

Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It

In the book I try to give a nuanced understanding of the technology for democratic ends, including cooperatives! I was lucky enough to get quotes from people like Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, as well as @ntnsndr and Trebor Scholz

Check out this Linktree I made to help you find a copy in your country / region!

@Gargron didn’t you once prevent repeat showings of my own post’s images, collapsing them to a link in my notifies? Now I’m overwhelmed with all these repeats in my notifications. They’re just distracting noise seen hundreds of times. If I must see anything, I just need to see the action on a piece of content, not the content itself.

Somebody complained that the images were not shown in notifications.

Vim The Most Important Text Editor On Linux #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/1grU6YbVZ1Q

Hi there, yes I love Vim — still learning with vimtutor but yes it’s incredibly powerful.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

@danialbehzadi I knew instantly the headline was BS so I didn’t watch the video. How do I know this, you might ask… because only #emacs users know what is the most important text editor on linux.

He asked if I liked card tricks. I said, 'No.' He showed me five.

It's a fine line. I love food history stories and trivia, but, when I was teaching at Sur la Table, my approach was to focus on the steps so you could do the recipe at home. I voiced my objection to a 'with recipes' knife skills class, because it took time away from basic knife skills to make tomato soup and Green Goddess dressing – time that could go to the 'hands on' part of becoming comfortable with a chef's knife.
