Private jet to visit the Wawa goose! 😂

Our cats Roscoe and Jim, in our kitchen, looking very serious.

I enjoy the way that in this photo our cats look like a hip-hop duo quite a lot of people quite liked in 1996 who have made a comeback record, done an interview with a broadsheet newspaper and are attempting to prove they are still serious and relevant.

Only an hour and 15 minutes between these two scenes. I fucking LOVE space travel man it's so fucking cool

watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station

Cat thinking reeeeeeeally hard about grabbing the ropes connecting the parachutes to the Orion capsule.

They were surrounded

Okay, so cats and space travel is totally its own delightful genre.

It’s the best cat entertainment, right?!

Ramona has become a big space fan. Welcome home, Artemis II. What an incredible quest.

I just turned on the NASA live feed and the title “Artemis II Crew Comes Home” brought me close to tears. Be safe, you brave humans. We’ll see you soon.

Great work like Ivan’s takes hefty resources to produce, which is why we ask people to subscribe. It’s paying for a solid product like anything else. :)

Read Ivan Semeniuk's posts about Artemis II, read his stories about science, read his story about Margaret Atwood www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/book...
Heck read everything Ivan writes!

Maybe you, like me, have been obsessed with Artemis II because it's such a beautiful psychological antidote to the moment. Ivan Semeniuk's dispatches for the Globe have been amazing, both technically crisp and poetic. This one on re-entry is heart-in-throat. theglobeandmail.com/canada/scien...

Now cancer-free, 'Roastmaster' comic Jeff Ross still finds humor in loss Known for his ruthless celebrity roasts, Ross turns inward in his Netflix special, Take a Banana for the Ride, which details the loss of his parents and grandfather.

I've become quite obsessed with NPR's Fresh Air lately as an antidote to <gestures broadly around>. They do so many brilliant, insightful and deeply human interviews with people you might not expect. This one with comedian Jeff Ross just lit up my morning: www.npr.org/2026/04/07/n...

Yes! We call that being encatted and it means the other person gets the beer and snacks.

❤️ I’m a firm believer that the right pet finds its way to us. We planned to adopt only Lille, but when we went to pick her up, her kitten was still with her, and it took us about 10 seconds to decide to take her, too. They’re such a joy, and I’m so glad they could stay together.

Very! She‘s a smart cookie.

I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s truly a pain like nothing else, but they were so lucky to have love and happiness with you. Sending big hugs.

❤️ She’d been with us more than a year the first time she sat on my lap and I felt like I’d been knighted. The wild thing is that she picked my loudest and most constantly-moving kid as her Person. It makes no sense, but she’s devoted to him. Just the best.

Thank you! I tried to make it fun.

This is Lille, and she had a tough life before she came to us. She still doesn’t like us to pick her up, but she’s become a lap cat and does it like it is her JOB: jumps up, executes precisely one full turn, then plunks down like she’s got big plans. A sweetheart behind that grumpy bear face.

Prime Minister Mark Carney with Liberal MPs Marilyn Gladu and Evan Solomon

If I travelled through time to the year 2016 and told 2016 Me that this would be what the Liberal Government will look like in the year 2026, I would ask 2026 Me if I was high on shrooms

Heh, thank you for playing to my basest instincts. We actually have four cats, but Ramona and Gus are the most theatrical.

Yeah, I know I need more to follow, but I totally lack the bandwidth to go spelunking for people in other follow lists. 🤣

Oh, that's interesting, I had no idea you could do that. I think I was probably following too many and part of what I wanted to do was cut way, way back on my social media use, but I'd still like to find more of my old faves.

That makes sense. Part of the problem is I don't have the time of bandwidth to find more feeds I want to follow, so my network isn't growing or getting better curated. It all just seems so much less busy and fluid than the bird site in its time.

I have really tried to love Bluesky, but it seems so limited. The "Discover" feed is, uselessly, only people I already follow, and the "Popular with friends" feed updates so little that there's rarely anything new and interesting. Am I missing something?

Crew of Artemis II share an emotional moment after naming new crater after a lost loved one YouTube video by CTV News

It's really worth watching the moment when Jeremy Hansen suggests that a crater on the moon - a "bright spot" we'll be able to see from earth - be named Carroll for Carroll Taylor Wiseman, the late wife of commander Reid Wiseman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Cw...

I’m not sure that this has happened before in human history. Explorers reporting live while seeing things no one has ever seen in person.

Amazing. #Artemis
