This five second Instagram reel that will loop 37 times while I attempt to read the eight-paragraph caption could have been a Web 1.0 blog post with a nice photo at the top

Spring in Philadelphia.

A digital illustration done in simple contour lines and rough pencil coloring on neutral tinted paper background of a woman reclining on a surface in a faint. Seen from a foreshortened angle from her knees and feet. She’s laying on one hip with her torso twisting to supine. The back of one hand lays across her forehead and the other is held limply on her ribs. Her head is back and her red curls spread out on the ground around her. She’s wearing a white, voluminous and old fashioned night dress. Orange lettering in an Art Nouveau style to the right reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Big bright orange lettering in a vaguely graffiti/marker style with big black drop shadow reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’. At the bottom in front of the lettering is a small cartoon turtle with a little hourglass on its back.

"I will face God and walk backwards into Hell."

I love that this is a real creature.

It may seem paradoxical but a key to accomplishing (1) will be to deflate the psychological importance that Americans attach to their voting decision. Casting a particular ballot in a particular election needs to become understood as a small practical matter, not a titanic moment of self-expression.

“The woman worker needs bread, but she needs roses too."—Rose Schneiderman, 1911

Thinking about women’s rights advocate Rose Schneiderman on her birthday today. 🌹

She saw basic rights as “bread,” to which working women were entitled. She also worked for “roses” because women deserved more.

In the end, Hungarians showed us not only how to beat a thuggish nationalist, but also how to defeat our own stubborn cynicism. Set some Google news alerts. Get a little invested. The future can still be ours. Nothing is inevitable.

Magyar now polling third in the Iowa caucus.

Great outcome here

The key to this passage is that Soderbergh ultimately admits, however unconsciously, that he just didn’t want to pay talented artists to create the work he needed.

Artemis II Return NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE

how much money does the marine corps lose

Digital illustration in a cartoony colored pencil style. First we have a snail with a shiny handlebar mustache wearing a top hat, the tail clinical portion of which is an hourglass. Snail is being ridden by a cartoon turtle (snail and turtle relative proportions are not realistic) wearing a brown derby, pince nez glasses, a red corduroy vest and a wide yellow tie with red polka dots. He’s looking at a large gold pocket watch and also has a large wristwatch on his other arm. These chronographic devices are not making events happen sooner. A series of speech bubbles from the turtle read ‘may-be-it-will-hap-pen-to-day’.

Fun fact! There's a whole community dedicated to jailbreaking and modding kindles. You don't need to settle for this.

A digital 4 panel comic. The first panel has a white cat that says "I try to be nice to everyone". The second panel has a black cat that replies with "ok now be nice to yourself." Third panel is the white cat staring in silence, and the fourth panel the white cat's expression changed into an angry one

Come to this thread for the tea on a MAGA Pentagon adult Catholic convert threatening the first American Pope with an Avignon papacy, stay for “there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago.” Amen.

Well this is unfortunate. An account calling itself "NASA | ESA Space Updates" (@nasaupdates.bsky.social), not apparently affiliated w/ either, has been posting NASA images without alt-text & blocked me when I said the images should include it. (NASA itself is usually pretty good on accessibility.)

I don’t actually use ai so I don’t know maybe we’ve already reached this point, but it just struck me that the next step is surely ad-supported chatbots that tell you the solution to your problem is Today’s Sponsor and now I want to curl up under my desk for a bit.

NEW US electricity data ⚡️🇺🇸
