The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Sad news, @nytarchives on Twitter is retiring after eight years. I've been lucky enough to post on this scrappy little account hundreds of times and met lots of passionate folks interested in our archives. Here's my favorite tweets! 🧵

Robin Sloan, a self-proclaimed "full-fledged enemy of Web3", writes about the proposed new version of the web. "So, here comes Web3 – and the basic emotional appeal of NEW OPTIONS cannot be overstated." This is really good. society.robinsloan.com/archi…

I am digging this phase of @jbenton's career, where the day after something happens he swoops in with a "ha, this was always going to end badly, remember how dumb this sounded in the beginning...?"

With the help of the ace @nytimes digital team, we compiled a list of ~2.2 million externally-facing hyperlinks that had been used in nytimes.com articles since its launch in 1996. The goal was to discern how many of them had fallen victim to linkrot or content drift.

And there it is: Thinking like a reader instead of trying to fill space. How would someone like to get information? Then let’s present it that way. The story as the atomic unit of all journalism is NOT the answer to everything.
