Shout-out for Rob Navias, NASA Public Affairs Officer & Mission Commentator. What a breath of fresh air, hearing a consummate professional speak intelligently, honestly, and with candor during an event. Felt like a kid again, harkening back to the days of legends like Cronkite, Brokaw, and Jennings.

We couldn't have done it without her.💐

Great series -- definitely recommend checking out the original "Alice Isn't Dead" series as well, and supporting the wonderful creative minds behind this and many more incredible stories at Night Vale Presents.

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

Well that explains a lot...

A man who has never learned that actions have consequences should never be allowed to start a war.

Currently searching the local bookstore's website for "1,000 Things to Make With Bananas in Them" 😳

But have you considered all the benefits of... do?

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States. In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

Today, I learned that the band "Electric Light Orchestra" was not named after a wide array — an orchestra, if you will — of colorful electric lights, like their brightly-colored, luminescent logo seems to imply... (cont)

Still find the legal semantics regarding device access to be PROFOUNDLY problematic No matter design or methodology, a key's a key, and a lock's a lock – the State's ability to force someone to unlock a device should NEVER depend on a key or lock design The end result is 100% identical, regardless

“I don’t do politics” is a wild stance to have when the government is killing people on the street and lying about it

me every single day

Stopped by a watch shop today to get the battery replaced in my Mom's watch. The guy took care of it in just a few minutes, and thanked me for the business. I replied "Thanks for your time." Ay-ooooo... I do Dad jokes even when I don't mean to.

"Charles Bukowski famously asked: 'Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who to be?' I am 53 years old, and I can honestly say... I'm not sure. But I'm trying. I am trying... as hard as I can." – Aaron Foster

No I won't! You can't make me!

There's a special level of hell reserved for the person who decided that political groups would be exempt from the U.S. National Do Not Call Registry.

Apparently downtown St Louis has decided to get in a festive holiday mood, because random lights all over the downtown area have been blinking red for more than a week now — as if traffic wasn’t bad enough with some people completely ignoring the lights when they’re working properly 😳

My wish for you this year: I hope that every time you walk into a room, you remember why ❤ youtu.be/m57gzA2JCcM?...

This cat just put its paws on its hips, stared me right in the eye, and said "Look here, mister..."

Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social (It’s also our kid’s birthday)

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

SNAP funding (food stamps) will cease in 2 weeks (11/02) if the shutdown continues, leaving some of our most vulnerable neighbors struggling to afford any groceries at all... as we enter the holidays, no less. If you can spare ANY $$, please make a monetary donation to your closest food pantry.

When cruelty becomes normalized, empathy becomes radical Be well, and take care of one another ❤

stop thinking right now

Someone TP'd a neighbor's house last night -- my first thought wasn't "how funny"... it was "in this economy?" 😮

I really love a good analogy 🤣❤️

Hi Friends, if you are able to help out our friend Proton, please do. Let's keep his Mom safe. Thank you for your consideration!

What's the possibility that yet another investment firm is saddling a struggling company with exorbitant debt, just to intentionally let it sink (and take the debt down with it) -- is EA about to become the next LBO Titanic?

The horrors persist, but so do the 12’ Home Depot skeletons

Our news networks should air an hour or two of European news every day to show Americans how flabbergasted the news presenters are here when they cover the U.S.

On a breathtakingly surreal day -- and considering the year it's been so far, that is _really_ saying something -- a toast to September 21st: Earth, Wind & Fire Day ❤️ youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?...

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever.” ― Alfred Lord Tennyson

Absolutely disgusting that this is the way it is.

Seriously, it would be worth the 4.5 hour drive up to Chicago just to meet the absolute LEGEND who named their band "Malört and Savior" 🤣❤️ katforillinois.com/concert #punksforprogress

DAILY

It took an extra half hour to get to the office today, because traffic slowed to a crawl passing a group of construction workers with jackhammers. Y’all are _THIRSTY_ Those men have work to do, and I need to get to the office — behave! 😂

Plausible enough to be canon 😆

It's not even 10am, and I already needed this pretty bad today. #breathe

We’re just normal men

A good 70% of the fighting over AI would have been avoided if VC hucksters (and gullible access journalists) hadn't conflated incrementally useful automation with computational sentience to make money

Look, things are pretty busy right now, and it's only going to get worse -- we're gonna need you to get your existential crises in order, okay?

Let's just cut to the chase, shall we? 😆
