If anyone needs something great to watch, I humbly submit Landman.
Written by Taylor Sheridan (best known for Yellowstone), it is spectacularly good—great dialogue, interesting characters, beautifully shot, instantly immersive. Just like Yellowstone. He somehow manages to capture a sense of America that I remember growing up looking in from the outside.
TS is creating some of the very best stuff for grown-ups.

Landman
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.

A JWST/MIRI view of k Andromedae b: Refining its mass, age, and physical parameters
Context. kAndb is a substellar companion near the planet-brown dwarf boundary, orbiting a B9IV star at 50-100 au. Estimates of its age and mass vary, fueling a decade-long debate. Atmospheric parameters (Teff 1650-2050 K, log(g) 3.5-5.5) remain poorly constrained due to model differences and heterogeneous datasets. Aims. We refine the characterization of kAndb using mid-infrared data to capture its bolometric emission. Combined with NIR measurements, we constrain Teff, log(g), and radius to red…

Long but very good:
"An essay on wank"
It names and identifies one of my least favorite genre of posts – finally I have a proper term for it!
I'm sure I've been guilty of it too in the past, so it's useful for self-regulation, too.

An essay on wank | deadSimpleTech
This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it says what it facially does, but also not push too hard or at all, because challenging the factuality or other face-value elements of the statement is a personal attack on the person saying it and their identity. I'm sure we've all been in such situations, unfortunately, and we can all point to lots of…

Good evening folks! these are the last two #photos from our hike in the #schwarzwald (seen on my blog).
I saw that little stream next to our route and stepped down there to take some photos. The strong highlights in the back made it very hard to take the photos that I had intended. I guess …

"We shouldn’t be surprised, because capturing communities with false promises only to sell us out is business as usual in the corporate internet. The founders handled the transition horribly, even by tech industry standards, and the pain and disruption it creates in our lives is real. Yet capital is constantly pulling the rug on online communities... For corporations, it’s always profits over people"

Following the sale of Komoot to private equity, Josh Meissner explores the broken relationship between corporate capital and our communities...

San Leandro teen charged with shooting & killing 17 yr old girlfriend in her bedroom, is freed from custody by empathetic judge who rejects #prosecution theory of intentional #murder.
#Prosecutors have refiled murder …

The Mevcury News - May 12, when Raquedan-Retuta staggered into her aunt’s room and collapsed on the bed following a gunshot. Ray came in behind her. The family had stationary cameras on inside the home that captured what happened next, authorities said. “She got shot,” Ray reportedly told Raquedan- Retuta’s aunt, who promptly jumped off the bed and began screaming for help, slapping Ray on the back on her way out. Two others in the home called police, while Raquedan-Retuta’s aunt demanded to kn…
Ray simply responded, “nobody cares,” according to police. Deputies found a Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol inside the bedroom, along with a spent cartridge. The gun had no magazine inside but was equipped with a tactical strobe light, authorities said. There was another thing noteworthy about the pistol: It had been reported stolen in Decatur, Georgia, back in 2013. Somehow, the pistol made its way to the Bay Area, where a high schooler purchased it from someone who hasn't yet been publicl…

In spite of having read several of Iain Banks' non-Sci Fi oeuvre I had never been remotely tempted by the culture novels, though I have friends who raves about them at Uni. Then I spotted this on a summer reading table at the library, which I suppose shows the value of a good librarian...
#IainMBanks #Culture novel. Actually, surprisingly my first. That's the gift of both train travel and a good book. #bookstodon #booksky #FlyingLess

Long trip back to Copenhagen starts with EV to Lyon a packed but slowly emptying train to Geneva, during which I have been completely captured by an #IainMBanks #Culture novel. Actually, surprisingly my first. That's the gift of both train travel and a good book. #bookstodon #booksky #FlyingLess
