My favorite things about traveling to a new place are:
1. All the public transit puzzles
2. Getting STOKED to see incredibly common birds (looking at you, chaffinch & magpie)

Un-fucking-believable content

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

This was.... 1 week????? Ffs

For me it's this but with the added irritation of said people dressing themselves like (their?) children in one of the angles. I don't care how much I like your other content when you do this, we're done.

a screenshot of a google search for "nearest star" with a pop-up asking if you'd like to "see results closer to you?"

i don't think that'll make the result any more precise, but sure

So he's pro-pandemic. Got it.

Photo of three men standing on top of rocky terrain. One is wearing a blue zip-up jacket with a blue chambray shirt and tan chinos. One is wearing a green-black checkered jacket with red chamois shirt, white pants, and cowboy hat. The other is wearing a blue parka with with blue jeans.

Two photos. In the first, three men are wearing bomber jackets with blue or white jeans. In the second image, one man is wearing an off white (possibly chamois?) shirt with blue jeans. Another is wearing a blue denim trucker with blue jeans. A third is wearing a blue quilted parka.

Two photos of groups of men. They are wearing Nordic sweaters, olive bomber jackets, flight suits, black-green checkered jackets, cowboy hats, beanies, and jeans.

Two photos. In one, there's a man wearing a brown tweed with a checked shirt. In the other photo, men are wearing bomber jackets and high-waisted cotton pants.

The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

Their hands are tied but some of them seemingly can’t stop themselves from confirming his cabinet picks

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

Sunset of pinks and blues with the last sunlight over a rooftop with a car parked in the foreground.

Days old buds/blooms of a dogwood set against a light pink sky.

PDX weather is ridiculously lovely lately.

It REALLY IS. 🫶

Stop being funny Trump! I’m trying to focus on you destroying mankind.

Watching Artemis II footage to catch up with my kids and practically bawling. We live in the most extraordinary and heedless times. The contrast is jarring.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Go blue!

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

“But that’s not what happened here. This was instead misinformation and false information that turned into snowballing that had very little to do with the project itself. And the other side was this hate machine directed at myself.” It’s what Daniel Villaseñor, deputy secretary for communications at the California Natural Resources Agency, calls an engineered “coordinated outrage cycle.” The cycle starts with a “‘report’ from a think-tank-funded outlet,” Villaseñor wrote on LinkedIn last week — in this case from City Journal, a conservative-leaning urban policy magazine published by the Manhattan Institute. “A provocative story is published with no new reporting — just a repackaging of months‑old facts already reported in the mainstream, now framed with a partisan agenda,” Villaseñor added. “The goal isn’t journalism; it’s narrative seeding.” The next step is amplification by a “major partisan media outlet,” according to Villaseñor, which happened when the Rupert Murdoch-owned California Post (a new offshoot of the New York Post) republished the City Journal piece. From there, right-wing influencers shared snippets of the piece with even less context, and after online outrage grew, the Trump administration posted its own reaction. Finally, Fox News ran a story about the Trump administration’s reaction to the story. “This is their playbook — it’s not an accident. Understanding the mechanics can help us combat the right-wing rage machine,” Villaseñor wrote.

This is an interesting article about a literal animal crossing, but not because of the bridge: because of this snippet within it about manufactured rw outrage online www.sfgate.com/la/article/c...

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

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

This is the correct take.

I think you lot should be filing impeachment articles whether you can carry the motion or not. Sometimes it is literally about principle

Ok Portland this weather is tooooooooo lovely -- come on. ☀️

I wholeheartedly agree that there seems to be a(nother) line crossed with his latest post/threat, but it's SUPER fascinating to me that there do seem to still be such lines that exist given everything.

More to see in that image:

* Aurora Australis (bright green, upper right) & Aurora Borealis (plane green, lower left) visible as faint streaks

* The bright dot in the lower right is Venus

* The white haze in the lower right is zodiacal light: dust in the plane of the Solar System lit by sunlight

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

They Pay $34 for Burgers. Should Their Child Care Be Free?
