Watching an auroral corona develop right overhead is one of the most spectacular things you can see

Absolutely this. YOU, men, take responsibility along with everyone else of holding other men accountable. This isn't about whether or not its you. Not only make sure it's not you, but also no other man. FFS.

🤣
You understand all of evolution now! Biology is like trying to reverse engineer the most poorly written, kruffty, kludge-upon-kludge code that could only have been produced by countless chimpanzees banging on typewriters randomly for eons, until somehow they produce all the splendor of life.

kinda feels like life exists and progresses by the "nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution" mantra

As everyone knows, the lack of cable management led to the downfall of the Borg.

An adorable kitty, Frankie, sleeping curled on his back, one paw raised up, black beans showing, another curled under his chin. #CatsOfBlueSky

Goodnight everyone!

two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

This isn’t “modern dating”. This is a group of men who demand the ability to r**e women and control their entire lives without consequences or pushback.

They are pathetic, dateless losers who deserve to live their entire lives alone.

A novel prize winner decodes why people aren't having kids.

Wow. WaPo really dug deep to unravel the mystery.

Suppose it has nothing to do with an exploitive economy that makes it impossible to provide the security we had growing up.

Nor the toxic patriarchy that will see us die, rather than give us freedom over our bodies.

Nope. It's just chores 😐

I honestly have to wonder if this is an experiment to demonstrate the meaning of “hubris”. The person pushing this can’t be from Texas because they don’t understand just how intrinsic HEB is to Texans.

The fact that they’re holding up *BUCC-EES* in comparison? The fuck, actual?

Kennedy's career pre-antivax advocacy was as an environmental attorney, focusing on mercury (his gateway to vaccines). Now he's abandoned that, allowing *actually harmful* mercury to pollute low- income areas, & using fake mercury fears to deny vaccines globally. Full 🧵👇

Needs a ball pit

a conference room empty except for a row of seven tables down the middle that are set up with one chair on each side

I think I have found the conference room with the most threatening aura

I can think of a lot of more accurate and less flattering terms for dudes who travel to other countries to trap foreign women in subservient relationships than “passport bros”

"Birds see fast enough that TV is a just slideshow of still images but slow enough they can see which direction the stars are moving" is really doing a number on me

Sometimes a block isn't because someone did something bad. You just never want to see anything they ever have to say.

Very unimpressed by pop neurodiversity influencers and their AI apologia.

More bullshit claiming that anti-AI stances are classist and ableist and racist.

Meanwhile, AI is built on exploited black labor, kills disabled people every day, disposesses the working class, and drinks all our water.

Field Comic Panel 1 A determined Field has slammed their hands on the desk and is determined to do the things that need to be done. Field: OKAY! I just have one small task to do. Panel 2 A stressed Field is staring blankly at a blank screen. Narration Box: -Stares at nothing for two hours instead-

One small task

If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.

Great outcome here

A big issue of contention here is that the US thinks it's negotiating from a position of strength and is behaving as such, when the reality is that Iran clearly has the upper hand and is dictating terms to the US, not the other way around.

"The dumbest person you know is being told 'you are absolutely right' by an AI right now."

TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, CBS, and CNN all have Trump-aligned owners. Here’s why US media has a liberal bias problem.

I have something to tell you about the tech industry

This Autistic People’s Month, I need you to be aware that many Autistic people have chronic (& often passive) suicidal ideation

That means, yknow, “we’re not going to DO anything but sometimes I wish I just didn’t wake up.” Or even “I can’t take this anymore.”

& we don’t all make it

Parachutes popping open on cue, and the capsule splashing down EXACTLY when it was projected to.

I hope Elon Musk is sadly gazing towards Houston right now, a tear in one eye, and feeling painful pangs of competence-envy.
