KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

This old white man complaining that no one is knocking up 14- and 15-year-olds is certainly a vibe

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.

No way that's wild could you imagine ever doing the same for voting no that's impossible

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

Text that reads: “This proprietary typeface is both a nod to the legacy of NASA’s use of Helvetica Neue and a reflection of the illumination. It represents exploration to the Moon and beyond, as well as the way Artemis will unearth new discoveries and technologies, shedding light on the unknown. The inspiration of the 60º angle cut in the typeface is derived from the angle between two planetary bodies which are in optimal balance and harmony”

Enhance!

A page from the Artemis graphics manual with a large A on it

But enough obfuscating! HERE is the dope as heck truth about the ARTEMIS typeface specifically:

Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze

hospital and municipal IT are going to get fucking wrecked whenever someone releases Mythos-class models to the wild and I hope someone in a position to do something about that is on top of it

Behold the Orientale Basin, in its entirety, for the first time

So, yes, in my haste to post & in my lack of characters per post, there should be clarity: this is the first ship-to-ship call between two wholly separate missions.

There have of course been tons of comms between ships and vehicles and ships in the same mission. That's the context of my statement.

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!)

This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel.

Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects.

What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.

What‘s annoying is that things could have been fine. Not perfect, maybe not even great. But we have the resources and technology for *fine.* It would have been trivially easy to bring society to a “Cs get degrees” level of okay. It was actually harder to get things to this level of shit.

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution.

There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

No ICE.
No war.
No Kings. #nokings

Holy New York.

Trump tweeted as much this morning, writing that ICE agents at airports were, "rehabbing a fake image given to them by Radical Left Democrat politicians."

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

My personal assessment is that there is a bias towards using moderate language, even when the situation is extreme and warrants the strongest language.

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

Workers who fall for ‘corporate bullshit’ may be worse at their jobs, study finds New study finds that employees impressed by corporate speak may be least equipped to make effective decisions

"A new study out of Cornell Universit found workers most excited and impressed by corporate speak may be the least equipped to make effective, practical business decisions, and it can leave companies with dysfunctional leaders."
