Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

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!!!!

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

The 2000s were a magical era where for some reason film studios decided that two video nasty gore perverts should be in charge of the two biggest franchises of the decade

We keep being disappointed, but we continue to live in hope...

(Hashtag Not All Tech Dudes, and not only tech dudes do this. But the tech dudes are the ones spending trillions to try to convince people that the joy of creating should be outsourced to the plagiarism machines they desperately need to make money from, so)

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Arriving April 28, 2026, from Insight Editions! A new Star Wars film comes out in May and I was privileged to write a tie-in!

The Mandalorian Journal is a day journal with ideas, quotes, and more from the TV series. It's an honor to contribute an official book to the vast Star Wars universe!

Hugely envious! :) How did you do it?

"But AI uses em dashes and semi-colons and figures of speech, so you can't use them in your--"

Let me stop you right there. I don't give a damn what AI does. It will never impact the way I write. Ever. Nothing is less relevant to me than generative AI "writing" tendencies.

Philadelphia DA Krasner to ICE: "If you commit a crime, I prosecute you. No, the president cannot pardon you. If necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you commit the same criminal homicide against unarmed, innocent people that you committed in Minneapolis."

We’re Already at Risk of Ceding Our Humanity to AI Machines It’s 2019. I’m in a bar in Providence, Rhode Island, chatting with graduate students and researchers with PhDs. One of them, who holds a PhD in Latin American literature, observed approvin…

Today, tech billionaires who are ignorant, evil, or both are trying to change how we understand what it means to be human: what we are able to do with our minds, what we want to do, why we bother living at all. Don't let them monstrify you.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

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

Why don't people just take pics of unmasked ICE faces with badge numbers and upload them to make a database?

This rarely-seen Glass Octopus was caught by an underwater robot during an expedition off the Phoenix Islands.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

A collage of two photos of myself. On the left is a black and white photo of me arriving to the beach after a run with a peace sign. This is the last run I have been on which happened in 2020 6 years ago today — on the right is a photo of myself on a typical day recovering from minor exertion with an eye mask and oxygen concentrator on.

6 years ago today I went on my last run (pic left) — today I’m 36 and I’ve spent my entire 30’s with #LongCovid struggling to walk up and down the block, or work more than 1-2 hours a day.

Heres 4 things I never thought I’d lose at this age:

Often a person believes himself to be so wise
and believes to gain highest fame thereby,
when the juice of the grapes has affected him negatively. 
The next one believes that he is so rich
that even the emperor might not be an equal to him. 
The third appears like an extremely hungry horse,
so no one can push enough of fresh or rotten food into the ever open mouth. 
The fourth one screams cries over his heavy sins,
and his heart is passionately in flames out of deep repentance
for strange reasons that no one can comprehend. The fifth one desires to do unchaste actions,
to which he is dedicated day and night,
once he has become addicted to the power of wine. The sixth has a miserable practice: He condemns the soul through [false] oaths so that she will be entirely exhausted when facing God.

The seventh is ready to fight, he growls like a dog held by a chain and who barks all the time; its round head is ready for a fight. The eighth becomes so happy out of drunkenness that he is ready to sell his honor, property, wife, and children; the evilness of drunkenness shows in him. The ninth helplessly becomes crazy, everything that he knows, sees, or hears, he presents openly to everyone. The tenth fights against sleep. The eleventh sings wild songs and screams totally uninhibited both in the evening and in the morning. The twelfth becomes so drunk from heavy drinking that he feels the alcohol already at the top portion of his throat and voluntarily pays a tribute to the innkeeper.

Tweet from Harry Sisson stating that the FBI interviewed a girl who accused Trump of assault when she was 13–15 years old and deemed her credible, followed by the question, “Exonerated by who, exactly?” Embedded below is a screenshot of a tweet quoting Trump saying he has been totally exonerated regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI has not released all the evidence it has on this victim or her allegations against Trump. Her story was credible enough to be used to sue Epstein successfully and help convict Ghislaine Maxwell. Why can't the world see an unredacted 302 report?

Chinggis Khan dies from complications from falling off a horse! This is the problem with going 'arf arf, what is Aragorn's tax policy'....real life is often either a) dramatically unsatisfying or b) so dramatically neat as to feel contrived.

No one wants your AI crap except soulless, talentless failures who think buying a bowling trophy and engraving their name on it makes them a bowling champion.

Actually, that's a bad metaphor. They didn't even buy their own. They stole someone else's and put their name on it.
