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.

It's indistinguishable from Kiril blessing bombs to be used against Ukraine - blasphemy of the highest order.

Attention all ye clergy! St. Mark's is searching for our next Dean and Rector. You can view our profile below; we hope that you will prayerfully consider whether you might be called to ministry with us. ⚓

He's going to run as the anti-war candidate in 2028 and the stupidest people you know are all going to pretend to believe it.

I really hate the "dogs are going everywhere" trend, especially because dog owners are ignorant, clueless, etc. They're the modern equivalent of smokers in restaurants in the 1980s.

Astonishing.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

What if the United States had a Congress?

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.”

We’re doomed because Trump represents a sick, evil, but absolutely permanent and strong element of American culture. Killing civilizations is what these people voted for.

The Republican Party owns everything being done by this lawless administration - everything. They could end this all today, should they choose to do so. That they don't makes them cowards and complicit. I will never respect any of them.

What a beautiful moment.

at the risk of going full reddit atheist even in the context of all the more directly horrible stuff they're doing, i find this stuff coming from government accounts absolutely stomach churning

American religiosity has been in decline for some time, but the way some performatively religious people have accepted Trump will accelerate that decline significantly. It’s a mortal wound to the credibility of American evangelism.

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

I’m Trans. I’m Human. I Don’t Want to ‘Transcend Humanity’ Peter Thiel wants technology to turn us into immortal machines. My hopes and dreams as a transgender Christian could not be more different.

for Day of Trans Visibility, i want to share this beautiful @sojo.net piece by my friend Georgia (@artwithin.bsky.social), which is both a middle finger to Peter Thiel and similar freaks and declaration of her dignity as someone made by and loved by God. Whoever you are, God loves you and so do I.

as a christian, i’m told that we are not supposed to overcome evil with evil. i take that seriously. if gavin newsom wants to try, it’s his prerogative. count me out. i don’t need to replace one bully with another bully, thanks.

Gullible, Cynical America The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Fantastic thread.

Get a tissue.

Perfection

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

If the government is wondering why thousands of people tail ICE and film them it's because you have a propensity to lie!

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

I Talked To 50 Dads at the Taylor Swift Eras Tour YouTube video by DARK WEB | Paul Scheer & Rob Huebel

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
