Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Whoah. Bluesky COO attributes today’s outages to a deliberate attack

God, I'm sorry. Sincere condolences. Glad you had that time together. 💚

okay everyone, we all need to turn bsky off and then on again at the wall AT THE SAME TIME.

three, two, one, NOW

Hey Jared! I'm writing a story about this for @the-independent.com (will credit you for spotting it obv) and would love to interview you about the implications.

Would you be down for that, today or tomorrow? Will email you as well so you have my contacts. Thanks x

Not sure of your situation, but here's some of my past coverage of trans refugees: bsky.app/profile/iodo...

@berlinerbarbie.bsky.social Hey Gemma, hope you're doing OK. I saw your post RE yr experience with Artemis. I'm really sorry. bsky.app/profile/berl...

Would you be open to telling a journalist about it? I want to report on this issue. Can be anon. My Signal is in my bio if you prefer to reply there

The level of due diligence one has to do just to get good, lasting consumer products nowadays is SO galling and frustrating!

And what's worse is, I have no idea whether or how we will ever get back to some kind of market/information equilibrium that reliably reduces this effort

FYI I cannot DM you, but if you /do/ wish to talk about it, even off the record, you can reach me on Signal @iohazard.01 or at the email in my bio.

I have a strongly desire to bring this phenomenon to wider public attention, if I can.

I am of course happy to protect my sources' identity!

If you have an idea for an AI tool that you're keeping secret because you believe it could lead to disaster, I would /also/ love to speak to you (but our goals may be somewhat in conflict)

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

okay but I wanna know this too

i feel like rodney dangerfield would have a lot to work with these days. "guy sold me one of these self driving cars and it left without me. then he said he'd set me up with a model, turned out to be a computer! then my wife and the computer left me in the car"

“I asked my phone if it was spying on me. It said ‘no I’ve seen enough.’ I asked if it wanted me to turn on location services, it said ‘why? I already know you’re going nowhere.’ I tell ya, its rough out there. A phisher sent me my identity BACK!”

I believe this is how they do it in Germany!

It’s a thing I often tell friends about when discussing this issue. I genuinely DON’T think age verification MUST mean surveillance.

Which makes it pretty goddamn weird that surveillance solutions are the only ones that ever get mainstream discussion.

These examples are absolutely fucking gobsmacking

1) I’m so, sorry this happened. It is horrendous.

2) Would you like to speak to a transgender journalist about it?

I mean I personally would just write it as “they’re both explicitly autistic” (I’m sure /someone/ has Wedding Autism!), which solves this problem but might ensure it never gets made 🤭

it could be called ‘Fog of Love’. or ‘Hexed’

I WANT A ROM COM WHERE THIS IS THE MEET CUTE

Artemis II live updates: Joy at Mission Control as astronauts safely return to Earth The crew of Integrity waved and saluted for the cameras after a surviving the fiery plunge through Earth’s atmosphere and making a ‘textbook splashdown’

Heh, I guess I should link our live blog, heh! You can read through the whole reentry process here: www.independent.co.uk/space/artemi...

My coverage will continue for couple hours, and then my colleagues @the-independent.com will pick up tomorrow — when we'll hear from the astronauts themselves.

I suspect this is actually standard procedure — Lovell was last out on Apollo 13 as well www.nbcnews.com/slideshow/ho...

But I'd imagine Wiseman's heart was in it too

Enormous grins shine from the faces of Artemis II astronauts Victor Glover and Christina Koch as they wave and salute directly at the camera from the door of a military chopper, surrounded by applauding service members.

Hey team. Good to have you home.

Yeah idk what happened there. But we did hear from them before the glitch

Audible jubilation and a storm of cheers and clapping from Mission Control as the first astronaut exits Integrity.

Three of them out now. Commander Reid Wiseman will be last.
