In 2018 I made an art installation called "Us and Them" miketyka.com?p=usandthem and "Portraits of Imaginary People" about how AI will be used to create fake avatars touting political propaganda. And here we are: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/b...
Fatal Flyby

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.
The solar eclipse captured from a camera mounted on one of the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon’s far side. The science community is investigating whether the glow around the Moon is from zodiacal light -- interstellar dust that’s reflecting sunlight -- the solar corona, or a combination of the two. Unlike minutes-long eclipses as viewed from Earth, the Artemis II crew saw the Sun hide behind the Moon for nearly an hour. In this image, Venus can be spotted on the left, and Saturn on the right of the Moon. Credit: NASA
Orion and solar eclipse: new, fascinating image posted on NASA Johnson's flickr account, captured by a GoPro camera mounted on one of the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Venus can be spotted on the left, and Saturn on the right of the Moon.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩🚀🚀💕
*All four astronauts went to public schools!

A sign in Seattle, Washington that reads: “Congress, remove Trump now.”
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
If people can be automatically registered for the draft…why can’t people be automatically registered to vote?
Why?!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
This is so well done. 👌
All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
A blue and orange hourglass-shaped outflows with larger red outflows with a more filament and knotted structure. Both outflows are parallel to each other. A lot of blue background stars that are yellow in the area of the dark clouds, which are centered at the cores of the protostars.
Dark Nebula BHR 71 with its two protostars, launching outflows called HH 320 and HH 321 (HH = Herbig-Haro object). 🔭🧪

Congress just convene yourself without Johnson, pick a new leader and impeach this guy
There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms

View out of Artemis II right now: Earth just got into view into this camera shot and will shortly be setting behind the moon from their vantage point

Witness the elegance of the swimming Feather Star, a crinoid that dates back to the Ordovician era, over 480 million years ago. A true marvel of evolution in our oceans.
Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...
This is the moment the market gets it. Not climate. Not policy. Not ideology. Just pain at the pump.
Once people switch… they don’t go back.
As foretold—Used EV prices rising. ICE falling.
More than just a trend— it’s the whole system flipping. #Bettrification

A different perspective.
Always helpful.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
To those still complaining about Artemis 2:
We spend 100× more on killing people for oil profits, but yeah, NASA’s the problem. 🤦🏽♀️
NASA: $25B
Defense: $901B
That’s 36 NASAs.
Space programs have driven major advancements in science, medicine, and technology, real benefits for humanity.
The emperor has no clothes.
Time for the #25thAmendment. Congress and the Cabinet must act.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
