By my understanding to register a vehicle you have to have proof of a location to park it

It really should be studied how so many politicians in one place ardently refuse to believe their region is anything other than a solidly urban area. Have these people never been anywhere else in this country?

Ohhhh, why didn’t we just work with state officials this whole time?? Gosh no wonder there’s so much traffic congestion, it’s because we didn’t have federal and state partnerships to try to figure out how to solve this big, mysterious problem!

Moonshot Boldly going farther

NASA’s Artemis II crew fits a decent definition of an aspirational vision for masculinity (a wonderful attribute not sequestered to people born as male).

These impressive people are optimizing for service, vs. attention.

Parachutist dangling from the scoreboard at Virginia Tech before the start of the spring game today. Sudden winds knocked him off course from making it to the field.

anyway, if this court is going to act as little more than a partisan legislature than it ought to be treated like one by the actual legislature

Very looking forward to a stain thread. I have a mostly office job but can get a bit dirty sometimes on the manufacturing floor; I’d love a consistent workwear aesthetic but paying for quality clothes, even if classically workwear-coded, makes me hesitant to use them for their purpose

Who on earth thinks you’re carbrained? From what, doing a series on cars while wearing exclusively public transit related shirts? 😂

Emailed Maxine Waters on Wed. morning asking her stance on unequivocal abolition of ICE, and wide-ranging trials of everyone involved in this admin, to inform my primary vote. Simple questions, simple answers. No response yet. I’m on board with uncapping the house @iammrbeat.bsky.social!

Headline: “Trump’s World Liberty Financial borrowed millions from a protocol its own advisor co-founded.” Sub: “Onchain data shows WLFI deposited 5 billion of its own tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins it then sent to Coinbase Prime, pushing a lending pool to 100% utilization and leaving depositors unable to withdraw.”

You or your team up, @democrats.org ??

Here’s some evidence for some of those trials we’re demanding, after the obvious war crimes one for Hegseth et al.👇

A photo from the Artemis II capsule beyond the moon looking back toward earth far in the distance beyond our oldest companion. The sun lights the cosmic bodies from out of the right of the frame, making its power known in the blues, greens, and yellows of lens flares and striation. The crescent moon is on the left of the image taking up most of the vertical height, showing hints of the far side we never see from earth; craters in low-angle light reveal their depth. The crescent earth sits just over the moon’s shoulder in the upper-center of the photo, mostly white from cloud cover but revealing a few pixels of her blue ocean. No stars are readily apparent.

Quote in the post is excerpted from Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot”, itself inspired by an image from Voyager showing the earth a mere pixel in size, suspended serendipitously in a lens flare of its own.

“That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you know … every human being that ever was … lived out their lives. … Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”

Went to Death Valley last weekend and hung out at Racetrack Playa for a bit. The absolute silence of the moment was spiritual—no planes, no wind, no other cars or people. A silence unachievable in most places on earth, at least outdoors

[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Whoa 🤯

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Is this the first inter-orbital crewed communication? For spacecraft that aren’t planned to dock with one another

Artemis II’s new “Earthset” photo of a crescent Earth setting over a vast barren Moon

This morning I’m thinking of Sagan. “Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.”

I thought the same, maybe the first time I’ve ever heard anybody in spacing audibly cry on comms. Columbia Mission Control got close, you can tell from the video. But this was visibly emotional in its in way

Oh my gd, the Artemis II crew doing a parody of a bad 1980s sitcom intro from in space.

Last night, it was called out when we passed the 144-hour return mark. Why is that significant? Because we’ve designed a crew survival approach for a cabin depressurization scenario through which we could support the crew for 144 hours. Today’s suit tests were part of testing those capabilities.

We need robotic space missions, we need amazing space telescopes, but we also NEED human spaceflight to inspire our imaginations and stir our curiosity. It’s very human to want to see the universe through the eyes of other humans

I will continue to say NASA PAO is stuck in 2010 at best, you can’t just invite a bunch of “social media types” to launches anymore and have everyone see it on their Facebook feed
