@Miriamm The photo is of course famous, but I had no idea there was a statue of it. Looking it up on Wikipedia, iut appears that it has been controversial because it's "promoting violence", which I find somewhat backwards (paradox of tolerance?). Apparently this one is a copy of the original statue that was rejected, and can be found in Alingsås.
They want to use that to launch batches of HUNDREDS of Starlinks at once. And guess where all those Starlinks will end up? The pieces that don't make it to the ground will end up in our upper atmosphere, screwing up the stratosphere, the ozone layer, who knows what else because SpaceX isn't required to do any environmental assessments of this.
@sundogplanets I remember the first time I saw a starling launch chain. I thought my brain was melting as I saw the 50 something satellites slowly appear and drift across the sky in a straight line. It ruined any chance of shooting Astro in that portion of the sky for a good 30min.
30min can be a short time, or, and entire event when it comes to Astro photography.
I'm terrified not just of the space clutter, but the impact on our ability to appreciate the night sky. #Starlink#Astronomy
i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.

@rbreich its easier to keep breeding more people, have them consume and die without health care, than help people currently living live better. that is the gop way.
2024 is a mega election year and the EU elections are taking place this week. This is the 2nd largest election in the world - around 350 million people are eligible to vote.
Just like the elections in India and the USA this year - this one is very important for coexistence on our planet. Therefore, we want to use our reach and call on all those who are entitled to vote to make their voice heard.
We must not leave the EU to the far-right parties and must defend our democracies. Please vote.
@davew the chicken can't win against a con that has support from the ultra wealthy, also the chicken is quite not popular, otherwise he would be flying high on the polls
