Did you hear that massive howl in the air? That was Boomers and GenX releasing their collective breath as Artemis II made a perfect reentry and splash down.

A yellow sticker affixed to a metal utility box. It reads "Join ICE earn 30 pieces of silver."

A tweet quoting JD Vance saying he finds it ironic to be accused of foreign influence after campaigning for Viktor Orbán, with a Fox News screenshot of Vance speaking at an event in Hungary. Below it is a smaller embedded tweet noting Vance stumping for Orbán at a political rally.

You're a foreign official campaigning in a foreign election for one preferred side, JD. Think about it. Take all the time you need.

FAKE

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

This is also a fake image. The details of the capsule are entirely wrong.

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Heroes are made not born

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Artemis II are home safe 🥹

Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, and Mary Jackson would be so proud 💜🌙

We need to find an Etsy witch that can fix the #Astros pitching

Oh my. This is a development

A helicopter hovering low over the “front porch” raft to pick up an astronaut. The propeller is making huge circular waves radiating out from the raft

An astronaut and a crew recovery person dangling over the ocean from the helicopter hoist

There are certainly good reasons for every step in the crew recovery process but at this point it feels like they’re just putting the astronauts through as many of the most dramatic methods of transportation they can think of in one day

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Would you come back if you didn’t have to

If we can send NASA to the moon, we can launch ICE into the sun.

READ THE ROOM, WHITE HOUSE

i bet one of the astronauts immediately got up, grabbed their stuff and moved to get closer the exit

*hurriedly looking for my planet of the apes mask*

Yup! Orbital mechanics FTW.

Yikes! I didn’t see it, and I’m not going searching for it 🙈

What an incredible, singular experience.

This also works with very small children

As part of their Pride Night, the #Rockets honored the executive director of the Transgender Education Network of Texas

Damn you I have to try to sleep after viewing this

What about the Kars for Kids kids? Are… are they lying to us too?!

Does anyone in HOU know of a place that will be showing the splashdown tomorrow?

Other baseball teams have to just be birds or some shit, the Astros have to do rocket science

It would be nice to live in a world where extolling values like joy, international teamwork, and diversity could not be seen as a dig at our current administration, but here we are.

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice
