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.

Belated self-reblog! This is the dual cultivation ningcheng fic that I've been working on for a minute, where Wen Ning is prescribed dual cultivation and that leads to him fucking Jiang Cheng recreationally. (I posted some snippets here and here and talked a little about Wen Ning and Jiang Cheng's sex life here. Beware spoilers if that's a thing you care about.)

Anyway, I cordially invite y'all to come get in the ningcheng pit with me. Join me! There are dozens of us down here!

Chapter 1 of Wen Ning Gets a Life is up!

OK, I looked at the poll results and it seems like the consensus is "just fucking post it," so without further ado: Chapter 1 of Wen Ning Gets a Life is up. Let's get that fierce corpse (disappointingly) laid! (You will need an AO3 account to read it.)

Title: Wen Ning Gets a Life

Rating: E

Pairings: Wen Ning/Jiang Cheng, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian/Wen Ning, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (background)

Summary:

Sometime after the events of the novel, Wen Ning receives a series of good surprises: 1. Wen Qing is alive. 2. She has a plan to make him alive, too. 3. That plan involves sex with Wei Wuxian, his best friend and long-time crush. (And Lan Wangji.) Unfortunately, nothing has ever gone according to plan in Wen Ning's entire life, and it looks like his unlife won't be any different—especially once Jiang Cheng gets involved.

@livingmeatloaf replied to my doodle request post against art blockage: Jin Ling trying to put those dog booties on Fairy? 😂

And how could I not? I tried to go for something different with the colours for this one as a fun little experiment, nothing too wild. Hope you like it, my friend! :D

According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

Please feel free to share the petty reasons you think wangji would not like jgy because they sound hilarious

a) Lan Wangji is The Baby. Brother is paying Quite A Lot Of Attention to someone who is 1) not him 2) suspiciously younger-brother shaped 3) oh it's not like that well still

b) Jin Guangyao's whole thing is being polite and ingratiating in a way that most people find very pleasant but I think Wangji Would Not. do not try to make me like you. i already don't. you're just doing this to suck up to xichen.

c) he is not only a Jin (sus) he actively strove to become a Jin. he could have not had everyone know he was Jin Guangshan's son, and not had to spend time being with and showing respect for Jin Guangshan, but he did it, on purpose. filial piety is one thing but At What Cost.

d) learning lots of different techniques when you could just obsessively perfect and memorize one technique? i mean..... sure......... if that's what works for you.............

e) stop making small gestures for my comfort when i'm forced to exist in a social space in your presence i do not like you

things that are killing me on my millionth rewatch of this ep

Vegas just turns around and leaves without glancing back. Pete has the chance to leave again

Pete turns to follow him, almost automatically trailing behind back to his jail cell

Then stops. Vegas keeps walking. One of the things that can be frustrating but mostly I love about this show is that it doesn't have to show everything. They could have cut here to Pete being Conflicted(tm) or going to leave again. Maybe Vegas turns back and catches his eye and that's why he decides to keep following but no, we didn't need that

We get this super far away shot of just their backs, we see Pete pause, we know he's thinking that he could still run (and probably knows Vegas wouldn't stop him). And then we see him take another step, going back to the house. He's made his decision and he's sticking to it. And we know where his head is because it's still present in the shot: Lil Buddy's grave with its bright white flower still there in both our mind and Pete's.

Vegas stands just out of sight of the dock, taser in hand, irritation crawling all along his skin.

In these past few days, he’s managed to draw out all sorts of reactions from his new pet. Defiance. Disdain. Generous helpings of despair — morphing swiftly into rage. Vegas cherishes them all, for a plaything that snarls back is a true novelty.

And then Pete had the fucking audacity to flinch. He had the nerve to look at Vegas with fear, as if something as banal as Vegas’s belt had been enough to break him.

The acid burning in his throat tastes like bitter failure.

The belting was a stupid idea anyway. Vegas is no two-bit villain. He shouldn’t have reduced himself to petty, blunt trauma. If only he had crafted the moment better — if he had looped the belt around Pete’s neck, perhaps, pulling it taut, thick leather biting into the tendons of Pete’s throat — yes, that would have been beautiful.

A clattering sound emerges from inside the safehouse, and Vegas’s head jerks up.

Looks like his idiot pet still has some fight left in him.

His mouth stretches into a cruel grin as he runs his thumb along the side of his taser. If Pete prefers his more unusual methods, Vegas is happy to keep things interesting.

[...] they get out of the car together to kiss you goodnight, you who have perfected the ghost goodbye, [...]

– After The Threesome, They Both Take You Home by Sue Hyon Bae

ChanBig inspired by the amazing and very very 🔥hot🔥 fic Could Stand Some Lovin' by ThursdayFire (veryrach) (@mightymightygnomepriest)

They fuck, sometimes. They don’t talk about it much, beyond the handful of barebones conversations necessary to set out some ground rules, and arrange their hookups. It’s easy. It’s convenient. It’s perfect, until it’s not.

Below the cut, the scene from the fic that inspired this:

They fuck, sometimes. They don’t talk about it much, beyond the handful of barebones conversations necessary to set out some ground rules, and arrange their hookups. It’s easy. It’s convenient. It’s perfect, until it’s not.

The first time, they bump into each other in a gay bar in Silom. (In many ways, it’s a miracle Big is still alive after having gone through the excruciating agony of bumping into his boss, literally, while wearing leather trousers, and a mesh shirt stretched too tight over his lightly oiled abs.) Big assumes that the best he can hope for is that they both agree to pretend it never happened, and to never mention it again.

He’s wrong.

Chan looks him up and down, his gaze so intense Big swears he can actually feel it raking over his skin, and then he raises a single eyebrow. It’s the hottest thing to ever happen to Big, and it holds that title for another twenty-eight minutes, which is how long it takes Chan to drag Big out of the club and get him into a flat in a building overlooking the compound. It’s expensive but boring, chrome furniture and floor to ceiling windows, a few pictures that look like they were ordered from a catalogue of Especially Bland Art. 

“I didn’t know you lived offsite,” Big says, as Chan pushes him up against a wall and sucks on his nipple through his shirt. 

“Do you want to talk about my living arrangements, or do you want me to bend you over the arm of my couch and fuck you into tomorrow?” Chan asks, which is very useful in helping Big remember how little he cares about where Chan lives. 

au where wei wuxian's and jiang cheng's disapproval of jin zixuan leads them to independently and separately disguise themselves as jiang yanli in order to spy on him and see if he's good enough for their sister. this leads to both of them having romantic moments with the eternally oblivious jin zixuan.

later on, after jiang yanli's wedding, they reveal their secret to jin zixuan as like a funny story about how stupid they were as kids. and then in private jin zixuan comes out to jiang yanli as essentially bisexual and begs her for forgiveness. she's going to kill her brothers but first she needs to comfort her husband.
