The image is a two-panel comic strip featuring a character labeled "THE PARTY." In the top panel, the character, wearing a green cap and a red plaid shirt, is seen from the back, extending his arm as if to ward off something. The text above him reads, "A DEMON THAT'S THREATENING TO PULL THE ENTIRE DUNGEON IF WE DON'T ACCEPT HIS DEAL." The background is a clear blue sky with a few clouds.
In the bottom panel, the character is now facing forward, holding a gun in his right hand and firing it. The text "BANG" is displayed above the gun, with sparks and debris flying from the muzzle. The character's expression is neutral, and the background remains the same. The bottom panel is signed "THE END" and credits "NEIL + MARISSA KOHENY."

It’s the phrase “lower extraction yield” that shows this was written by someone who did some googling but doesn’t understand the process.
There are experts on this, right on this website. Ars isn't one of them.

Sometimes, the most amazing photos from space are of objects close to home.
Or even *of* our home.
This is a lunar eclipse as seen from the Moon. That black disk? That's Earth. And the ring around it? Why, that's the magic.

INCREDIBLE SPACE PHOTO: The lunar eclipse seen from the Moon!
Also, come see me at GalaxyCon in Richmond, Virginia, March 27-29!Bad Astronomy Newsletter
One thing I've tried to figure out is what the daily eclipse would be like for someone living on a vaguely Earth-like gas giant moon.
I figure the gas giant, being in a roughly Earth-like habitable zone of insolation, would be blue with white H2O clouds. And I'm pretty sure the gas giant would appear as a ring during the eclipse. But how thick of a ring? How bright? How "lumpy"? I can't figure those details out.
i can hear the flatearth idiots shouting this is fake...
But its as real as can be, and by god is it amazing....

Oversized Leprechaun Hat Left At Home On St. Patrick’s Day To Avoid Damaging It
CLEVELAND—Concluding that the rewards simply weren’t worth the risks, local man Tim Fitzpatrick told reporters Monday that he would leave his oversized leprechaun hat at home on St. Patrick’s Day to avoid damaging it.The Onion Staff (The Onion)
It's easy to blame the UK government for being incompetent nitwits for writing the horrendous Online Safety Act (theregister.com/2025/01/14/onl…) that strengthens monopolies with the resources to implement it and weakens small communities without those same resources.
But this is all according to plan for Meta/Facebook et al. It's regulatory capture in action. It's way cheaper to kill your competition with regulation than to buy it, especially when it's decentralized.
It's not just Big Tech: The UK's Online Safety Act applies across the board
Analysis: That niche forum running for 20 years – get ready, there's work to doLindsay Clark (The Register)
I hope Europe and Canada don't go down the same path as the UK here.
I also hope that "we" (as in, folks who build and care about small, independent online communities) can step up to the plate – both in terms of ensuring regulation supports _actually_ good outcomes AND in terms of building meaningful approaches to online safety.

i know this is an opportunity to pile on Apartheid techbro, but am not even exaggerating when i say that, as a historian and “culture critic”, #Boomers embrace of the OG #Nazi car ―the VW Beetle― is one of those research things that keeps me up at night.
hand-waving it away as a feat of marketing doesn’t explain how one of Adolf Hitler’s prized cars, for the tech developed with it, became a symbol of white American youth radicalism, aka #hippies

@jessetmccann @pbloem Hold up. What?? Hitler commissioned and literally had a hand in designing the original vehicle, along with Ferdinand Porsche… that well known design of German military weapons platforms. I mean for Christ’s sake, the VW logo was a Swastika. Parts for these cars and weapons were made via slave labour from concentration camps.
It was *the* Nazi car.
It wasn’t until after the war that the British took over and turned it into a reindustrialisation piece after nobody would either buy nor be gifted the production capability, because the government had to take it over.
There was no ‘design’ of a peace project. Only by accident, after the designed atrocities.

There are no provisions for a president to "undo" the pardons
or a previous president. Use of an "autopen" by a president is
legally binding, as per 2005 DOJ guidance from President George W. Bush term.
