the playdate isn’t my best music player, but it still beats my phone by virtue of having a headphone jack

@elsemusic yeahhh there are other things that make listening to music on my phone less than ideal, but this remains a non-starter

Trump reposted a story using a crossed out nazi symbol for LGBQT people put in concentration camps. This should be chilling for everyone. Once again, this is a campaign of eradication.

Spotify is trumpeting big paydays for artists – but only a tiny fraction of them are actually thriving

The company’s latest Loud & Clear report – a relatively transparent look into a closed-off industry – shows just how skewed financial success is in music

I'm pretty sure I've posted about this before, but I remain baffled.

In the ESA Euclid Early Release Observation image of the Perseus Cluster, there are two strange objects close to the big galaxy, NGC1275.

One appears to be a "double loop" galaxy, with large symmetric loops above & below the plane of an edge lenticular(?)

The other is a pair of reddened point sources wrapped in a loop of nebulosity, at the end of a filament coming out of NGC1275.

Any thoughts on either?

A space scene showing a large disturbed galaxy and many others around it in the Perseus cluster, with many more distant galaxies behind. There are some stars as well, presumably in the Milky Way.
An annotated version of the previous image, marking the locations of NGC1275, a strange double loop galaxy, and a filament with a pair of point sources at the end.

@spacegeck You have the best archives, Judy 🙂🤷‍♂️ I’ll post that Euclid thing to Phil – I mean, I’m sure it’s a galaxy too, but quite what dynamical process leads to something that smooth & symmetric, with a bright nucleus too, I dunno. I mean, it can’t be that close to NGC1275 along the line of sight, otherwise it’d be way more lopsided, you’d think.

I used to hunt for and specifically process the most "boring" lenticular galaxies because I'm absolutely fascinated by them. A lot of them have incredible symmetry. Here's one from the Zoo Gem project: flic.kr/p/2gCxqEB

NGC 1175

A disk galaxy, I want to say lenticular, but SIMBAD notes it as a spiral? Well, sometimes it is hard to tell. The important part of this galaxy is its magnificent bowtie.

Trump admin makes Asheville remove ‘DEI’ language to access hurricane relief aid

The Trump administration recently denied a funding request from the city of Asheville, North Carolina, to help its recovery from Hurricane Helene, telling the city it must cut a program meant to aid female and minority contractors.

Well it’s me playing various lower quality instruments in an effort to demonstrate that you can make okay music with inferior equipment. Don’t know if I demonstrated that successfully but there you go. Done for a Jamuary challenge a few years ago.

This is so beautiful :) It does indeed show how good battered old instruments can sound.

There's just nothing better than coming back from a trip to my room of #ShittyGear, listening to the brilliant makertube.net/w/k1CsnE3ABr3txv… by @bgm and scheming how to make best use of it.

Thanks for the inspiration!

I've been waiting for some farmers to sue bc their IRA funding got held up. A group of largely organic farmers have finally done that. TY to @bloomlove.bsky.social for heads up. earthjustice.org/wp-content/u...
39. Plaintiffs Butterbee Farm, Hendrix Farm, One Acre Farm, Red Fire Farm, and Two Boots Farm (the Farmer Plaintiffs) were awarded REAP grants which would pay a portion of the cost of solar energy or energy efficiency projects for their farms. 40. The Farmer Plaintiffs have entered into contracts with installers, purchased supplies, expended significant funds of their own and, in some cases, taken on loans to pay their portion of the projects. Much of this money will be unrecoverable if the government does not resume disbursing reimbursement payments. Plaintiffs Butterbee Farm and One Acre Farm, who have fully completed solar projects, will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars that the government had promised to pay pursuant to the terms of their REAP grants for the already completed installations. Such a substantial, unexpected financial burden could put Plaintiffs’ farms’ financial futures at risk. For Plaintiff Red Fire Farm, the delay in funding puts an additional state grant at risk that is partially funding its solar project. Plaintiffs would not have taken on these projects without the financial support of the USDA program
