Anyone who does that fake throwing a ball for their dog thing... well done, you outsmarted a dog. A dog that loves you and really, really wanted you to throw a ball for them.

You should be on some kind of register.

A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.

Very nice! I really miss having a President you can trust around children and knows how to read.☺️

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Welcome home, Integrity crew!

NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE

Communications via Outlook striking again 🤷

Speeds and temperatures I can't even imagine

We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.

(Poem) A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I’m wondering if they’ve closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it’s “keep your children home so if you die, you die together” — Instead of “we’ll open back up once the plows have cleared” it’s “we don’t know if we’ll be here tomorrow, so hold your babies tight.” It’s just “talk,” I’m told, which I’ve been told before. “It’s how the president makes his deals.” But I’ve never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I’m not certain I can look my son in the eyes If we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: If this Is what we call leadership then I’m not entirely sure ours isn’t already dead. Michael F. DuBois

Someone should read this into the congressional record.

The audio from my interview on CBC-KW Radio's The Morning Edition is up! It was a nice opportunity to talk about what the #Artemis II mission has accomplished and the value of space exploration in general. (6 minutes)

Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.

Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America

Now more than ever y’all desperately need to read @swordsjew.bsky.social book Wild Faith and help yourselves understand exactly how and why
the Christian right is manipulating the US government into this war with Iran

This is one of the most important texts of our era.

Lunar Flyby - NASA

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Contrasting is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in this sentence.

Looking through one of the four windows of the Orion spacecraft, a tiny crescent Earth is illuminated against the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. Part of the window edge is visible; the rest is darkness. [Alt-text slightly revised from ESA/NASA version]

We are so, so small. #Artemis

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

People really need to calibrate their expectations to match reality, and the reality is that the closest thing that existed to a master plan was Project 2025, which is being unevenly implemented by a band of inconsistently competent dedicated weirdos.

Lots of interesting looking things in this thread. I daresay there will be something for everyone.

We are on a platform with no algorithm which means that we have to post repeatedly because otherwise people who weren't scrolling during the last post didn’t see it.

also I spent years writing the book and will post about it as much as I damn well please lol

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.

To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

Stop what you're doing and look 🌍

The full globe? That is the NIGHT SIDE. I'm pretty sure I can see some satellites/debris glinting away on the periphery. Also the Aurora?!

What a bonkers beautiful world that supports and holds everyone and everything you've ever known and loved, and so much more.

I really enjoyed this book! Amazed by the concept of "synestia" and continue to use the word whenever possible 🤣

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

We decided to illustrate it.
