Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

Illinois bill would bar police use of facial recognition, biometric surveillance | Biometric Update Illinois lawmakers are weighing a proposal that would sharply curtail the use of biometric surveillance by police and other law enforcement agencies.

The bill “would prohibit law enforcement agencies from obtaining, retaining, possessing, accessing, requesting, or using a biometric identification system.”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a little grey alien is piloting a UFO over the Earth, approaching Turkey (the country). Panel 2: the alien is seated and posed for a photograph with two guys, one of them is a doctor in scrubs and a face mask giving a thumbs up. They are in front of a backdrop that says “HAIR LIFE NOW”. The alien is smiling and has marker drawings on his bald head in the shape of a hairline. Panel 3: 14 month update, the alien has a lush and full head of brown hair, he is combing through and showing off to the viewer.

meme of a drawing of a guy throwing up with the caption “me remembering how i was barely even mean when i could have been meaner” the original caption said “me remembering how i was mean when i could have been kinder” but the words “mean” and “kinder” have been crossed out in red

I can't believe a FIFA Peace Prize winner would do this

there's not going to be impeachment proceedings, you stupid slut. every single member of congress, every single armed forces officer, every single agent of the empire — and the empire produces its own true believers — wants this. they've been salivating over it for half a century.

it's 2026. a civilization is very much potentially about to be nuked into non-existence. and here you are talking about and blaming bernie bros. no wonder we ended up here with folks like this being your average american intelligence. a vast populace, politically and literally illiterate.

y'all spent the entirety of the last time y'all were in power farting around, jacking off, and generally being useless sacks of shit instead of arresting and charging the man who started an insurrection. if it isn't solely the right's fault for enacting this shit, it's yours for not stopping it.

we evolved on a planet which is basically heaven and this is how we choose to go about living on it . incredible

im starting to think the cool zone is not that cool

I don’t mean to be dramatic but this motherfucker needs to be gone gone and anyone who worked for him, enabled him, supported him, or voted for him needs to be in prison at best

i keep thinking about an iranian girl who was featured in the new york times a few months ago. she said she didn’t know how she would be able to evacuate because she couldn’t carry her cats.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

Some evidence coming out that major Saudi oil facilities were hit and perhaps badly damaged by Iranian missiles. Really hard to quantify this but we could be looking at a historically significant strike here.

All from a country whose offensive capability was wiped out days ago.

hitting that pure gorilla milk

i think the number one problem with social media, and i think the first platform to solve this will make a trillion dollars, is there's no way to yell "Hyah! HYAH! GIT!" while making feinting little charges at people who you've already spooked but not yet routed

this is still my most favorite official neopets art

Info about an account sharing viral video of the moon saying it’s Artemis 2 but it’s not, and that account is blocking people who point it out

Just in case folks miss this due to the block

"and a queen"

i love that the borg were like "we agree as a collective, we want to be a scary dommy mommy"

i dont think tubes of fart gas that can melt skin held behind easily breakable glass in a room that constantly gets rocked with exploding panels was a good design choice

every time i watch star trek first contact it gets worse but i enjoy it just as much.... cornball ass movie. interior design for that enterprise slapped though like ooo so luxurious

Glover in a Japanese lab on the ISS

In 2020-21, Glover made history as the first Black person to stay for an extended period on the International Space Station. Consider this: "As a verdict neared in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the officer accused of murdering [George] Floyd..Black astronauts called from Earth to lend..moral support."
