While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.
NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break
A photo of three small framed watercolor paintings on the artist's table. One features an anthropomorphic horse knight, one an anthro pig baker, and the other an anthro vulture in fine clothing.
I know times are weird for a lot of folks right now, but if you've ever been interested in owning one of my originals, these three framed paintings are still looking for loving homes 🖤.

I kind of think this is an important point to reiterate. It's never "rockets vs science." And sometimes (like with the Artemis II mission), there is science that can piggy-back on missions where enabling human spaceflight is the primary goal. The proposed science cuts are just about cutting science.
Commissioned Ilustration of a werewolf symbolizing death attacking a bishop, while a fallen king already lays on ground behind them. Based on a common 16th century memento mori motif of death as the great equalizer.
Okay it's #WerewolfWednesday and that means its time for my most well known tarot card "Death".
Based on the common Memento Mori theme of death as the great equalizer.
I'm still open for work currently (especially after the shipping disaster haha)👉👈

It’s amazing how many bullies become deeply principled pacifists the first time they get punched back.

Scientific studies say vaccines work. Random podcast bros aren't so sure. It can be hard for a harried voter to know who to believe.
Apologies to @nytpitchbot.bsky.social !

DuPage GOP @DuPageCountyGOP SACE COUNTR The Democrats' BUILD Act will allow developers to bring apartments to single family neighborhoods. They would be allowed to do this by right ... ie no public hearing. Local authority will be tossed aside and suburban mayors are furious. What say you? Are you ok waking up tomorrow to find an apartment next door? See example below. 3:01 PM • Apr 19, 2026 • 423.7K Views
stop! i can only get so erect
You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?
The Justice Department.
Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?
Wait what you are telling me you are not a cartoon dog irl?!
Good piece, worth reading, and if you don’t have time, the first paragraph is the text in this post, and it suffices as well.
Illustration of a California newt in a pond full of plants and bubbles. Text says “i’d rather have a pond full of newts…”
Doodle of a gross ai data center spewing out pollution. Text says “… Than an ai data center”
Fellow San Jose/South Bay residents, ai data centers are coming for us, but we still have a chance to stop them!
Ilovesanjose.org has a petition and a prewritten email to send to the city council. Let’s stop them before they build anything.

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.
With news of the new "Grazing Action Plan" created by the USDA to help the cattle industry, we wanted to remind everyone that wolves are not the problem. Wolves have killed 0.002% of cattle, yet hundreds of wolves were killed by government programs.

Voyager 1 has had another instrument shutdown. On Friday, the team at JPL sent the command to shut off of the low energy charged particle instrument. That means that there are now only two operational science instruments on the spacecraft.

That is exactly what is achieved. Stonewall wanted the trannies in 2015 when it looked like excluding us would cost them (and,TBF, Ruth Hunt believed it and tried to do it right). Now including us has cost them bad, they want us gone again. S*onewall rises again.
