Finally an RGB image of comet #3IATLAS from images taken by #GeminiNorth during the 26 November #shadowTheScientists session: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2532/ - the coma has become bluer due to more gas emission. Also published today: an X-ray image by XMM-Newton at https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2025/12/XMM-Newton_sees_comet_3I_ATLAS_in_X-ray_light with explanations in http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005646.txt which also contains more 3I news.
Meanwhile the paper https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/ae2915 claims an upper limit for 3I's nucleus diameter of only some 750 meters from the measured non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) parameters: that would be waaay more stringent than the 5.6 km upper limit from early Hubble observations reported in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adf8d8 (where also a lower limit of 440 meters is stated).
Last night I saw a couple bands you've probably never heard of.
Because they're trendy and cool and I'm trendy and cool? Nope.
"Probably" because, statistically, you're not a Canadian of a certain age interested in music from 1990-something.
I Mother Earth was great and probably the loudest "opener” I've ever heard. Felt like the second loudest show I've ever been to. I didn't realize Edwin was back as the lead.

ReformUK and their ilk keep claiming it is easy for asylum seekers. Like if they eventually get settled status, the Home Office immediately makes them homeless. So easy for them, our beneficent welfare system. That's after living on a pittance while awaiting a decision, so no spare money to put down for a deposit.

Not the greatest performance, but one moment does not undo all the good things. Frimpong continues to impress with each outing, Mac Allister, Jones, Ekitike, and Wirtz were all also excellent.
Ekitike is my MOTM. The chemistry between him and Wirtz is fantastic, and not just because of the goals and assists, but because they offer something different... movement and quickness against all else static.
Szoboszlai had a great game overall, but he's in my penalty box right now.<…
👿 How a ‘green gold rush’ in the Amazon led to dubious carbon deals on Indigenous lands

Ok, I’m procrastinating downloading a bunch of vids with yt-dlp and at this point I’m already reaching the tabs limit on this Safari profile
What’d be the best way of downloading a bunch of videos with yt-dlp while still keeping a good control of what failed and what succeeded? (this is basically impossible from its output if you feed it a bunch of links in a single go)
I was wanting a webui I could selfhost and it’d show progress and status for each video it’s downloading (and let me pass custom options to the yt-dlp command, such as filename), but should I just make a script with a for loop for each URL instead?
un_migrations: UN migration stock (2015)
A network of migration between countries, collected by the United Nations. A directed edge gives the flow of migration, and an edge property gives the number of migrants, for each given year and sex.

The estimates are based on official statistics on the foreign-born or the foreign population.
This network has 232 no…
