Arresting freedom!
At street art at 2nd Av - Houston St, F Line
In New York! 🇺🇸
Artist Unknown

A black-and-white street art mural at 2nd Avenue–Houston Street on the F Line in New York City shows three ICE agents detaining the Statue of Liberty. The simplified, bold outline style depicts Liberty standing upright with her torch raised while the agents grab her arms and clothing, one kneeling at her side. The figures are drawn in thick white lines against a matte black wall, creating a stark contrast. A green metal fence runs along the bottom of the scene, and an old sign for a chemist shop is visible above the mural. Artist unknown.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

Hanging from their belt there are a Faraday pouch, a set of keys, and a stack of books. Their hair is made of wavy cables.

At the bottom are tentacles with eyeballs and surveillance gadgets that have been cut off their cables. 

A Banner says: "Privacy Is a Human Right"

I like how we took something computers were masters at doing, and somehow fucked it up.

ChatGPT 40 › 9.11 and 9.9 - which is bigger 9.11 is bigger than 9.9. subtract them To subtract 9.9 from 9.11, you perform the following calculation: 9.11 - 9.9 = 0.21 use python The result of subtracting 9.9 from 9.11 in Python is -0.79. This discrepancy is due to the way floating-point arithmetic is handled in Python, which can lead to small precision errors. The actual intended result should be 0.21. (›-)

I was happy to help Filippo out and annotate the beautiful still of his image (non-annotated version sent to @apod as I really think it is worthy).

You could do so much science communication from this one image:

- galaxies (plural!)
- aurora
- stellar evolution
- nearest system

This is such a beautiful image!

Stunning work from Filippo Rivetti!

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?
