I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.

I always wanted Steve Jobs to design a sewing machine. It would've been so cool and right in line with his ethic that elevated and celebrated craft and useful technology.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Great thread

so cool

I watched Train Dreams on an airplane today and everybody must watch this beautiful movie, but do not watch it on an airplane unless you want to ugly cry in front of your seatmates, because it will break your heart into a million pieces. What a stunning meditation on beauty and sorrow and life.

Danny Bearer, a pioneer in skateboarding culture, holding a skateboard on a public street at the top of a big hill with houses along the street. Danny Bearer was a pioneer in the truest sense of the word, developing his fluid and flashy style at the same West Los Angeles schoolyards in the mid-1960s that the Z-Boys would skate a decade later. Danny was a perennial all-star in football, basketball and baseball throughout his youth, and was a runner-up in the Los Angeles Recreation and Parks tennis championship at the age of 12. But by the time he reached high school, he was so passionate about surfing and skating that it was bantered about that he “majored in surfing” at his high school in Pacific Palisades.

Acid-wash denim was all the rage in the 1980's, but the fashion began in surfer culture of the 1960's, where saltwater & sun bleached denim fabric.

The more bleached, the more "serious" the surfer... to replicate that look, some took to using dilute bleach or intentional abrasion with sandpaper.

Hell no

The Layman Sometimes I take quiet walks That last for several years. Never home again, I have been known To pass the old house on occasion. Today, I stand far from it Healing where a tree has broken Through a tender rib of sky. Scenes rush on; graduate us . . . One day I may feel as large As whatever it is I am up to. But in all likelihood, I will die this way: Not quite bright enough.

I don't drive much either and my battery was dead. A kind neighbor gave me a jump. Now I'm learning about solar battery maintainers! Clever.

Loved hearing what they all said. Jeremy: We weren't always on the joy train but we were committed to getting back on the joy train. Christina's closing: everyone on earth, you are a crew."

If you're not watching the Integrity crew make their remarks this afternoon at their welcome-home event, look for it on YT and replay. Really sweet, eloquent, very sincere, and poignant. Have kleenex.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

My dad was a physicist - my brothers and I listened to this a lot in the 60s. It's embedded in our psyches forever. I do also love that TMBG covered it.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

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...

Volvos are so hard for short people!

Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Whoa 🤯

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Group hug!

Safe travels and enjoy the ride to the crew of Artemis II, who'll come home this evening and have done more to humanise spaceflight in my lifetime than anything else I can remember ❤️
