Mayor Zohran Mamdani behind the counter of a bodega in The Bronx, flanked by various people. A journalist with a microphone labeled “Shop Cats” is standing in front of the sales counter, and holding the mic up to a black and white cat sitting on the counter next to bananas. The cat has an expression like in the famous “Sir, are you aware that you are a cat” meme

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

Tabby stands on hind legs with one paw outstretched toward a TV displaying a capsule above water.

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

TATERS!!!

Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time. Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today? Pepper|13:20:19 Order Issues Common Questions Where's my order?

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

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)

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning.

Black-and-white photo of a table, set up outside with a white tablecloth and flower arrangement on it. There’s also a shiny short haired, black cat lying relaxed on top of the tablecloth.

Always the perfect centerpiece for any occasion. Photo from my collection no info/date.

hey it’s ned!

I think punk rock taught me this plus:
(1) If you can’t do it, do it anyway
(2) No one else will care about it as much as you do, so do as much of it yourself as you can
(3) Support other people who are doing it the way you are and don’t cut people down

In Mario Kart Wii, crashing the game and activating the crash handler will eventually start playing back the contents of the Wii's RAM as sound. Since the data was never intended to be interpreted like this, it ends up sounding like experimental harsh noise music.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

I hate that almost every search stopped supporting quotation marks around a word or phrase to match it exactly. There are so many times that I know exactly what I'm looking for but it keeps trying to show me unrelated bullshit. The loss of booleans and advanced filtering is a whole other issue.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Cats in Japanese Folklore and Culture From kawaii (cute) to kaibyo (supernatural)

Today in Japan it's National Cat Day. In Japan, cats say "nyan" rather than "meow" and today's date is 22/2 (ni ni ni) which sounds a bit like “nyan nyan nyan”. I don't need any excuse to celebrate cats & I've written about cats in #JapaneseFolklore & culture here:

Black and white photo of a medium haired, tabby, cat sitting up and seems to be meowing a little bit towards the camera. The background is in focused, but the cat is a little blurry.

Black-and-white photo of a medium haired, tabby cat sitting up on the cement, stoop of what seems to be a wooden house. The cat looks towards the camera and it is blurry, but you could still make out its expression. The wall behind it is sharply in focused.

I recently got this set of four shots of an adorable tabby. None of them are in focus and honestly I don’t really care. ☺️ I started collecting cat photos primarily because of the love they represent, if they’re technically nice too that’s just a bonus. Ca. 1950s.

Some foliage growing beside a building. Somewhere an orange cat lurks.

A detail from a 1591 German pamphlet about "Ketzerei", heresy. You see a man standing, carrying 7 cats. This detail is part of a title page: https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/details/bsb00086437

Meet the 1591 cat man. I am counting 7 cats on and near him. #catcontent

How Modern and Antique Technologies Reveal a Dynamic Cosmos | Quanta Magazine Today’s observatories document every pulse and flash in the sky each night. To understand how the cosmos has changed over longer periods, scientists rely on a more tactile technology.

The night sky simmers and sparks. Any attempt to understand what we see in the cosmos relies on knowing how it changes, night after night. These variations are preserved beautifully on a hundred years of glass plate photographs.
