Digital illustration depicting various conceptual designs for fusion-powered spacecraft, but as girls. From left to right there's: Firefly, the Bussard ramjet, Discovery II, Project Daedalus, and VISTA. The text above each reference image reads, from left to right, as: "Firefly Starship, Icarus Interstellar, 2013", "Bussard ramjet, Robert W. Bussard, 1960 (though this particular render is from NASA, 2004)", "Discovery II, NASA, 2005", "Project Daedalus, British Interplanetary Society, 1973", "VISTA, LLNL, 2003".

Infographic showing a strange rounded metallic object with three protrusions extending from it. Each protrusion features a hole that retreats into darkness. The surface of the object is scratched and covered in strange ciruclar winding dents and grooves. To the right is an image depicting that same object glowing blue-hot, a thin glowing beam rushing into the larger of the three holes it posesses. In the bottom left is a simple illustraion of a woman with long hair holding the object on the tip of her finger. There's a lot of text that unfortunately doesn't fit in the character limit here, but the gist of it goes as follows: - This object takes in large amounts of mass and spits out a non-orientable wormhole. - The object is 7 millimetres in diameter but weighs 112 billion tons. - It is reflective to basically all light and is nearly indestructible. - How it produces wormholes is unknown. During operation the machine exceeds temperatures of 100,000 kelvin. - The wormholes it produces are less than a millimetre in size. Due to being non-orientable wormholes they turn matter passing through them into antimatter, and vice versa.

Sea spider with a bright red straw mouth

And by straw mouth I mean STRAW. Look at that red noodle.

Sea spiders answer the question “but what if it really is nothing but legs”

A photograph of the Octarm Continuum Manipulator, a flexible tentacle using McKibben air muscles and inspired by natural muscular hydrostats, particularly, as the name implies, the arms of the octopus. It is in three segments, each thinner than the preceding one; it is sheathed in a shiny black fabric. It is gripping a white cylinder.

A robotic hand, 5 fingers, hard clear plastic palm but the fingers are segmented rectangular sticks of silicone. Visible leading into the hand and then into each finger are clear tubes, used to deliver the air pressure which bends the fingers.

robotgirl but its soft robotics. awkward gangly air-muscular arms and chunky hydraulically actuated silicone fingers. highly deformable girl

In the middle of the illustration is a woman dressed in wintery clothing, above her head is some text pointing to her that reads "Marsh, 40 years old, works at the surface observatory array". To the right of her is another drawing of her, this time smiling while holding a can of beer, saying "Let's share a beer and convert raw telescope data into pretty pictures." To the right is a large column of text that unfortunately doesn't fit in the character limit for this. The column is titled "The Sun". At the top is an image of some stars against the dark background of space, at the bottom is a slightly fuzzy illustration of a space probe against the background of stars. To the left is another large column of text titled "The Earth", at the bottom is a speech bubble coming from the girl mentioned earlier. In the background is a drawing of the Earth, completely frozen over and airless. The vague outline of landmasses is visible in the shapes of the ice.

A world where the Sun has stopped existing due to extraterrestrial intervention.

Historians: Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society

Haunted houses wouldn't make sense if humans weren't so good at reading life into inanimate objects. We recognize architecture as a living thing, full of emotions and memories—and so too capable of sickening and dying, and harboring countless parasites and traumas.

not now bro i'm romanticizing the monstrous, eroticizing the grotesque, and glorifying the perverse

I don’t like the pro Hamas kids so | don’t really give a shit. | think taking over college campuses because you think everyone should give a shit about bad things in other countries is cringe. People die everywhere all the time. | don’t care. | only care about me and New York so you just like government censorship lol No l like bad things happening to people who annoy me. That’s the whole point of the 3 trump elections. He’s making people | hate mad, and | didn’t even vote for him

The modern fascist movement is just a coalition of bad people who can't understand caring about other people and are genocidally furious about being pressured into pretending like they had conscience.

They would happily push a button to exterminate everyone with a conscience forever.

Watercolour illustrations split into two panels. In the first image a countryside environment is shown, featuring a hill with some trees on it, and a forking dirt path. The grass in both drawings is a striking red colour, while the sky is open and blue. A woman with pink hair, dressed in a yellow shirt and jeans, is seen walking down one of the paths. In the second drawing we see that same woman sat overlooking the sea, the rolling red hills stretching into the distance. She's partially shaded by an overhead tree. In the background, a thin spindly white structure is seen arcing into the heavens. Text in the middle reads: "08 03 2656 - Today I visited that spot outside town where you can get a really good view of Lofstrom West 03. I figured it'd be nice to come here one last time. It's exciting to think that in only a couple day's time we'll take a trip up that shimmering white trail, up above the clouds and over the horizon. Likely never to return."

headline of the rochester democrat chronicle, march 15, 1908, page 34. It reads: "Women Anarchists Have Become The Terror of the World's Police! Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Outstripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red." and the subtitle reads: "Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Preceeding from Anarchistic Violence--The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Find a Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down--Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear."

women can do anything.

Watching another trans woman feed herself to the centrist and cryptofascist wolves in an attempt to seem rational and cool. I used to call you sister but frankly if you're stupid enough to do this at this point whatever comes of it is your own fault. See you around

hello mecha kink writer, I'd like to commission a story about a pilot returning to base in her damaged mech and being dragged out by the ground crew...

AND THEN SHE GOES TO THE SHOWERS TO CLEAN UP AND HAS A HOT MEAL WHILE THE GROUND CREW GETS STARTED REPAIRING HER MECH AH HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA

The thing you've got to understand is that liberals are PROUD of their ignorance of the most basic shit.

I could sit here all day walking Stancil thru the antifascist history, motivations, internal conflicts within the Left, etc, and he'd just sneer about it because it's cringe to know things.

A 3D model of a small cylindrical diorama/vignette depicting a tank, painted with black and white stripes, riding on large Archimedean screws, moving down a snowy slope, "peering" around a large dark gray monolith.

The same vignette, from a different angle; the barrel is facing towards the camera, and both of the tank's eye roundels are visible.

A brown parabolic antenna floating in space. It is connected to a small spacecraft, the Apollo CSM and has six solar arrays extending down from the top of the antenna.

A head-on view of a floating parabolic antenna in space. There is no background. The material of the antenna is slightly transparent so the Apollo CSM connected to it is barely visible.

The Apollo Applications Program explored ways to reuse the lunar landing hardware for new missions. One set of studies proposed a series of large-scale structures, including this: a parabolic communications antenna deployed in geosynchronous orbit.

In the foreground is a magnetic sail spacecraft - on one end the polygonal coils of the sail generation machinery, on the other a small nuclear fission plant and its attendant heat-rejection radiators, and in the middle a habitat and tankage for maneuvering propellant. In the background are two planets, orbiting one another much like Pluto and Charon do in the Solar System. Largest in our field of view is a world somewhat like Mars' big sister, with seas and lakes and a partially-oxygenated atmosphere through extensive terraforming efforts. Behind it is a world more like the Mars we know, although it's been partially terraformed - deep glassy canals have been excavated by orbital lens, with significant habitation on their floors. Both worlds have bands of solar power satellites, factories, habitats, and depots in orbit around them, and in the far distance an asteroidal moon roughly Cybele-sized can be just about resolved as a speck flanked on both sides by habitats and infrastructure.

Inside an observation room on board the magsail clipper - a little cabin with a round window of bulk diamondoid - three canine-like transhumans look out at Mangala and Kahira while floating in microgravity.
