I'm not sure I'll ever get used to daylight savings

Announcing massive budget cuts to NASA while we have Astronauts on their way to the moon is such a massive kick in the teeth

Microslop can't even get it right for astronauts

The concept of flying the Artemis astronauts to florida in T-38s is so funny. NASA: "On your way to fly to the moon in a tiny capsule, we are gonna stick you in a tiny cockpit instead of the luxury business jet we operate"

That little British bear is so right about orange marmalade

They should allow fights during Olympic hockey

How has the 2nd amendment crowd bootlicked so hard into becoming anti 2A

I really love that Australia also has politicians making dumb (often racist) political stunts...It makes me feel right at home

Very excited to share the NASA/ESA/STScI press release of our team's work on Apep! It's a terrific writeup, complete with a brand new beautiful visualisation of the nebula geometry. 1/? ⚛️🔭🧪 science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

Looks like I'm mentally stable

My mental stability might be dependent on Zohran winning

I guess Kirsten Sinema has decided to sell her soul (and the people and environment of Arizona) to be an AI Lobbyist

@astrotoya.bsky.social Has been labeled a spam and is having a hard getting the rest of the donations that they need ! I made her a graphic poster pls donate if you can ! Venmo:@Astrotoya cashap:$Astrotoya

Science is political... If you're a scientist and you don't know that you're either naive or willfully ignorant... Your funding, access to resources, and your academic freedom is dependent on the motives of governments, billionaires, and university admin

It's pretty impressive how bad people's media literacy can be

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Mamdani got 1000s of people to do a scavenger hunt on a random Sunday and democratic leadership still blames his "lack of a broad coalition" instead of just admitting they're in aipacs pockets

In 2021 Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Eric Adams as his second choice. Eric Adams won the nomination with 404,513 votes (50.4%) in the final round. Zohran Mamdani won the nomination with 573,169 votes (56.39%) in the final round. Seems like a plenty broad electorate to me

It's great that NASA supports (supported) astrophysics, space science, and other research at NASA, within the US, and across the world and that shouldn't be discounted, but Earth science is far more immediately consequential and important for society as a whole.

Oh boy a fake space ship to stick Avi Loeb on!

Don't worry guys Sam Altman says we're close to AGI

Turns out moving to the other side of the world does not make US politics any less depressing

good headline

Shocking things happen when you treat humans like humans

Wow we might actually hear how trump says "Mamdani" now

Talking to my Arizona friends about Zohran as if they have a stake in the NYC Mayoral race

What's crazy is that if you don't like Mamdani or Lander and wanted someone Pro Israel, you still wouldn't have to rank cuomo

Don’t rank Cuomo.

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 Good morning!! It’s easy in these times to feel like the problems are big and we are small. Trump is relying on us to give in to that feeling. But there are steps we can take — in coalition. Please help us save cosmic science ♥️ 🔭🧪⚛️ more of my thoughts on this here:

PhET is like the PBS of high school and undergraduate physics classrooms. This is upsetting news and doesn't bode well for the future of physics. ⚛️🧪

The jet was woke

Guys I'm very shocked to learn that the 6th iteration of a game titled "Grand Theft Auto" where you commit crimes and shoot at cops is anti-cop

NIH, NSF, NASA, NEA, NEH If it funds thought it’s under attack

The reality is worse than we thought. The White House proposed the largest single-year cut to NASA in history. We urge Congress to reject this proposal and work on a bipartisan solution for a strong space program that reflects humanity’s potential. Our statement: www.planetary.org/press-releas...

SUPPORT NASA SPACE SCIENCE! See joint letter in the post here from The Planetary Society (TPS, @planetarysociety.bsky.social). TPS also provides more info and resources at www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

For Pride month this year, Astrobites is looking to highlight transgender astronomers and we want YOU! We are planning to interview four astronomers about their experience being transgender in science, how they've dealt with barriers throughout their career . . . (1/4)

If something is incorrect on Wikipedia, it can be sourced, traced, disputed, fixed. If it's wrong in the LLM, it's just...wrong. It's not a fact explicitly stored somewhere, it's just a string of words generated by a probability map

Earlier this year we heard about how NOAA cuts meant a cut to weather balloon launches as we head into hurricane and tornado seasons, instead they're mining on the sea floor

What you need to know about Trump's NASA budget in one quote: “This budget is like, ‘Here is a shit sandwich with no side of pickle.’ You don’t even get the plate!” 🧪 🛰️ www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

happy confederate surrender day to all

I like how this implies they may still throw you into an El Salvadorian Gulag, but you'll see a judge first

Tornados are clearly the most woke weather system

There's something especially depressing about Meta using a website previous mostly used by students too access overpriced textbooks to train AI

Where the fuck is the Lorax when we need him?
