NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break
The wizards were good at wind, weather being a matter not of force but of lepidoptery. As Archchancellor Ridcully said, you just had to know where the damn butterflies were.

One peaceful & fun way to experience the Kahuku Unit of our partner #HVNP is skywatching. The sky is a moveable feast of shapes & colors; a living painting.
🌤️🌦️⛈️💨🌈💧🌬️
HPPA’s Christine always keeps an appreciative eye on the skies over the Kahuku Unit of our partner park.

Panel from FDOTM cartoon "Won’t somebody save these hundreds of turtles condemned to death?", with nice drawings of two kinds of turtles, with very long necks. Even more perversley the NSW government has hired a bunch of wetlands scientists to rescue the remaining turtles and take them to the zoo."
Turtles!

Targeting medics with airstrikes are war crimes, but Israel doesn't care about that because world leaders collectively like to turn a blind eye when they and/or the United States commit them. apnews.com/article/war-...
Never too early mate.

Trump: “I think that countries like Japan and China have neither the courage nor the will to open the Strait of Hormuz.”
➖️China: “The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. You are the ones who created the war out of nothing and closed the strait to the rest of the world.”

Fun fact: Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival started in 1999 to push back against high ticket prices.
Now it’s $649 to get in, $20 for a beer, $17 for coffee and $150 for a caviar burger.
Mission accomplished!

Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
Gina Rinehart is funding Ben Roberts-Smith’s legal defence, he will get a fair trial unlike David McBride.
McBride didn’t receive the whistleblower protections he deserved and had the Australian government use taxpayer money to block his evidence.
Hopping rats?
The world’s first triumphal arch erected by a country after a humiliating *loss*.

The four Artemis astronauts embrace inside the Orion Capsule. American and Canadian flags, along with equipment and hardware are surrounding them.
This is such a great photo.
Probably the best of all the #ArtemisII photos.
Diversity, international collaboration, humanities, science, art, engineering, the desire for exploring, the drive of human curiosity, the reward of years of dedicated hard work, and just pure joy.
It's all in there.
Turns out, Iran is surprisingly good at trolling the Orange Atrocity.

Check it out their work here:
“We have normalised genocide, total annihilation of entire people, the systematic destruction of the biosphere which we are all depending on to survive, and that corrupt, racist war criminals can act with complete impunity”
Hear hear
We need a bit of joy.
