The more I learn about atmospheric chemistry, the more terrified and angry I am about satellite companies' blatant lack of consideration for how their actions will harm the atmosphere. I hope this gets a lot of press. Great work by a whole team of scientists, including @astrokiwi.bsky.social!

My takeaway: Satellite launches are undoing the recovery of the ozone layer that should be happening now that CFCs are banned. And this study doesn't even take into account metal deposition from reentries, which might be even worse!

When I teach climate change in my astro classes, I always give the recovery of the ozone layer as an example of how countries can work together to fix a giant problem (Montreal Protocol). I guess satellite companies are now destroying that too.

Every once in a while a spot wears away on the callous I need to maintain over the worst of what's happening in the world to be able to function day-to-day.
When this happens, I am reminded of how shockingly quickly and with such apparent urgency we as a species are working toward the destruction of our planet and billions of unnecessary deaths.

Coincidentally, I'm "giving" a pre-recorded talk at the American Astronomical Society meeting later today about atmospheric pollution from satellites (and I didn't even get to include this excellent paper because I recorded the talk a few days ago).

This talk is short (12 min) and directed at professional astronomers, so there's not as much background info as usual, but maybe it's a helpful summary of where things stand now?

I don't travel much, and I am definitely not crossing the US border right now, so I'm glad I could give this talk via a recording. Added bonus, anyone else who wants to can watch it!

(Yes, youtube sucks, I should have shared it a different way, but for a variety of reasons, that was best)

Che cosa fai quando nasce una cucciolata da ben 7 cagnolini?
Gli dai i nomi dei 7 nani, ovviamente.

Per questo motivo, i veri nomi di Tilo e di Toby sono Eolo e Brontolo. Però non so quale è quale.

L'immagine mostra due cani di razza Border Collie, noti per il loro pelo bianco e nero, rilassati in un'area esterna. Il cane in primo piano è seduto contro un albero, con il corpo rivolto verso l'alto e la testa leggermente inclinata, mentre il secondo cane è disteso a terra sotto una tavola e due sedie bianche. Entrambi i cani sembrano tranquilli e rilassati. L'area è pavimentata con mattoni e circondata da vegetazione, con un piccolo giardino visibile in primo piano. La luce naturale suggerisce che l'immagine è stata scattata durante il giorno.

Thank you to @ktn from c’t for /e/OS 3.0 launch coverage and interview with our CEO @gael in the latest issue of c’t Open Source!

“Because I didn’t want to give Apple and Google all my data — and basically my life — for free. And I thought: I’m probably not the only one in that situation.”

If that resonates with you, now is the perfect time to try the new version of /e/OS!

@ZoidbergForPresident We stopped the deployment last week because of a tough bug affecting a few people. After fixing, we rebuilt a 3.0.1 and resumed deployment yesterday. 50% of Community devices will have received the update tonight. Tomorrow we start the rollout for Official devices, with a targrt of 25% devices tomorrow evening. Should be 100% deployed before end of week.

Yes, incredible that our incarceration rates, alone, were not enough to convince Americans they were living in an authoritarian state. However, the recent actions by ICE, supported by riot police, national guards, and US marines, combined with Trump's violations of the Posse Comitatus Act, and his repeated violations of court orders, are doing a pretty good job of fixing that oversight.

I don't know why they advertise the #West as the "free world". Its determining criterion just is capitalism.
