I’m using a q-tip to pollinate the tiny Water World-esque orange tree in my apartment so I can stave off scurvy for another month in these dark times and I’m wondering if I’m helping the tree masturbate or am I just full-on fucking this tree
I really like that underwear. Looks great on you!
I thought I heard on the live stream at one point that they were doing simulated moon landing activities after splashdown. Seeing how they felt in suits and what their energy levels are post-journey so they can set appropriate task levels in the future. But maybe they’re doing both.
The get regular rest (although how anyone could possibly sleep when they could be looking out the windows at space I don’t know). The wake up call was about 9:30am US Central time and they got to the ship by about 7:30pm. So it’s a long day but not something totally unreasonable.
I love that this gif exists, it makes explaining yakshaving (and ADHD) so much easier
I hate that I watch so much YouTube that I know exactly which product completes this sentence
I literally just did this before opening Bluesky and seeing this as the first skeet. Was it an app that condenses books, ‘cause that’s what I cancelled.
The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back
Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted
The way the astronauts are totally incapable of describing what they’re seeing I’ve never been more excited to see NASA photos
The words “we can go to the Moon” never quite measure up to looking at the Moon and thinking, “we can go there.”
“CapCom, Integrity; moon’s haunted”
I'm in this picture! And so are you!
Just imagine, we could be doing more Cool Science Shit every day instead of <gestures vaguely at the rest of the news> whatever the fuck all this is.
Jet Lag having a discussion of whether or not humans count as animals immediately followed by “Ooo, ooo, ooo, monkey!” is *chef’s kiss* Hat’s off to whoever edited that part. @thewheatgerm.bsky.social @adamchase.bsky.social @samfromwendover.bsky.social
I’m about to start crowdfunding for a film I would like to make that’s an improvised comedy à la Christopher Guest/ Mike Leigh. I’m gonna be mildly annoying about it but only because I’m extremely excited about it and unfortunately Hollywood is dead seedandspark.com/fund/treasur...

I just found out about this song. It’s incredible
why is no one writing think pieces about how the AI guys are underpants gnomes
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
I just remembered that That Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was a real show that really existed.
how is there not a survival game based on Lost
about my extended warranty
My stomach gurgled at the exact same time as I started an annoying empty voicemail and I though I was being contacted by things beyond the reasoning of mortal minds from outside the confines of that which we think of time and space reaching out to me from the unknowable between, separating universes
The trade off is time. Do you care to see someone’s frozen corpse incinerated by the sun in your life time? You’re gonna have to spend extra fuel to make it happen.
Naw, the math works. There’s a point where you’re either gonna make it out of the solar system or you’re gonna fall back down the gravity well. And that point you can use a little bit a fuel to accomplish either goal. But you’ve spent the minimum amount of energy either way.
I’m not an engineer so I haven’t heard of the virial theorem, but my calculation is that the Earth’s orbital velocity is ~30km/s and it’s only ~40km/s to escape the solar system, so it should be energetically cheaper to fling undesirable people out of the solar system vs. sending them to the sun
OpenAI monetized the Eliza Effect, and doesn't care if it kills people
I agree with launching him out of the solar system, it’s the more energy efficient option
Humans: Hold my beer
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
If you’re seeing this FNORD you’re an important link in the chain to the emancipation of all living things from our chains like Prometheus be freed from the rock.
