Truly a man of culture

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

Hearing that the new Electric Callboy album is in the can is the glimmer of light I needed today. Can't wait to hear it.

What a beautiful moment.

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

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

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

"Copilot is for entertainment purposes only" and "don’t rely on Copilot for important advice" but let's rename Office after it and shove it into all of the productivity and business-focused apps 🤔🤔🤔

learned yesterday that the Sea Monster Ate My Ice Cream episode of ducktales was like 9/11 for hungarian children

The 2000s were a magical era where for some reason film studios decided that two video nasty gore perverts should be in charge of the two biggest franchises of the decade

Wild that I can't buy a single aisle seat ticket for Weezer when the rest of the row is empty. Ticketmaster will only let me have it if I take the adjacent one too.

Please just let me pay 216 Canadian dollars for a seat of my choosing. I've been trying to see this band since I was 15 years old 😞

Writing and reporting is basically just a really great, never-ending puzzle game

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:

This is Victor. We are going for our families.
This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.
This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Yeah that’s cool

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

Gilead refuses to sell groundbreaking HIV prevention drug to MSF Blocking humanitarian organizations from accessing a medical breakthrough puts vulnerable people across the world in danger.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.

The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

Kicking myself for not going to Chloe Qisha's show here on Friday. She's got so many bops already. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p8X...

Lots of good stuff as always this week! Very intrigued about this spiritual successor to TLOU Factions.

And, after mentioning Forever Ago, I’m inevitably spending a chunk of my day listening to Bon Iver.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

nonzero chance that his top two emails that morning in 2021 were like "hey man something unchill is happening" and "KASH HAPPY ONE YEAR XVIDEOSVERSARY!"

Promotion for BARBIE DREAMFEST March 27-29 in Fort Lauderdale, branded as THE ULTIMATE BARBIE FAN EVENT (spoiler warning, it is not)

A nearly empty concrete floored convention space with a smattering of small booths and a handful of disappointed shoppers.

The Barbie Dreamfest Roller Disco. Reader...READER. It's six kids on roller skates in what looks like a 40'x40' pen with several pink traffic cones.

The Barbie Dreamhouse. REEEEEEAAAAAADEEEEERRRR. IT'S A GREEN FUCKING RUG WITH A CARDBOARD KIDS PLAYHOUSE AND A PINK VW THING (Bus) PARKED NEXT TO IT. I am crying right now.

YO! YOYOYOYOYO! Stop everything! The new Willy's Chocolate Experience just dropped! I bring you: BARBIE DREAMFEST!

To be fair, I have seen a few neat art exhibits down there.

Alas they are not. Just a way to get around parts of downtown and temporarily avoid temps of -35C.

As a baseball newb, MLB The Show 26 is helping me gain a stronger understanding of the sport.

Looking forward to the Blue Jays opener tonight!!
