How to travel 200 years into the future in just 18 years…

Accelerate at 1g away from Earth for 4.5 years, flip around and burn for 9 years back, flip again and slow for 4.5 years (roughly)

At peak speed you’ll hit 99.98%c and will peak at 100 light years out and 200 years will have passed on Earth

“Minor” issues indeed

Is there any doubt now that Epstein was killed? Whoops, cameras broke. Whoops, BOTH guards go sleepy. Whoops, we edited the unedited footage. Whoops, we showed an unexplained orange flash in the footage. Whoops, we lost the noose. Whoops, wrong kind of neck damage. Whoops, we shredded documents.

The president of the United States, folks.😕

Surely all who condemned the Charlie Kirk reaction will condemn Trump for this. Right? (cc: @MarshaBlackburn )

Our kids are watching.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Good times my friend

Turns out he more meant he will push up a glass of vodka and down it

I’m somehow ok with them taking out BP drones 😂

Aren’t English kings kind of famous for “displacing” their siblings? :)

Virginia Guiffre should still be alive and seeing the results of her rare courage and integrity. She spoke out against the horrific crimes of some of the most powerful and corrupt men in the world when there was no incentive to do so, and finally, the world is following her lead, much too late.

Let's learn some surprising things about hummingbird tongues.

First, as you can see, their tongues are forked & feathery, highly specialized for lapping up their liquid diet of nectar.

But it gets weirder up close!

Our running list of judges who have ruled on ICE’s mass detention policy POLITICO is keeping track of the federal judges who have ruled on the administration’s effort to systematically lock up thousands of people.

NEW: Here’s our searchable list of federal judges who have ruled on the legality of ICE’s mass detention policy — with links to key decisions by each.

At least 380 district judges have rejected it in ~3,800 cases. 31 have upheld ICE’s approach ~180 times

Nazi = “we” get unalive anyone “we” don’t like, f-yeah-bro! — that is as far as their tiny brains can take it

And you know Neurolink will become “We hope to eventually just jack directly into the pleb brain and extract work 24/7”

I am “keep the slightly used only-for-drying half paper towel for reuse until it really gets dirty” years old — how about you?

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕

(From @andertoon.bsky.social )

A photo of Frodo speaking with Gandalf in the Mines of Moria: "I wish it had not happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But the Dow is over 50,000."

Jesus is white
All the Epstein pages that mentioned Trump are black
Records are altered
And so are the facts

Like totally

brain worm boy is so brave

In December 2016, Jeffrey Epstein invited Bill Gates to visit his island—and promised that incoming Trump administration officials would be there.

Epstein emailed: “come to visit the island. new adminstration people visiting.” 👀👀👀

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment.

1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I was just going through some of my favourite captures and found this one I've always liked of Comet Tsuchinshan from 2024. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

While true, unfortunately the reality is more “people who allow themselves to be ruled by a Tyrant get what they deserve” (and every inch you give up along the way will be paid for in lives, as we already see happening)

Change “liberal” to “anyone who foolishly respects the rule of law”—but yeah. And don’t forget the raging Reich morons who cheer on the destruction while moments from being consumed by it themselves.

Fortunately Nazi groups ultimately destroy themselves but sure do a lot of damage in the meantime
