Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I want to be a writer soo much but i feel like first things have to happen to me, you know? I think I have so much to say but really I have nothing to say because I'm still soo young and I still have so much to learn! Especially about people and relationships because I think I know nothing about that but also "what is my story?" i don't have a story to tell (for now). Obviously there are ideas but there are no truth in them. Does that make sense? Like I don't have anything to say with my stories (yet) but something inside me is just begging me to write something but I don't know what!

wish jeremy strong could’ve been there and at every hollywood awards ceremony and be allowed to talk poetically about the transformative empathetic experience of acting and the moral rot of late-stage capitalism before ending with several poignant poetry quotes and vanishing into the night

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
