Fun fact: the final chapter of "Astrophysics For People In A Hurry" by @neildegrassetyson.com contains a passage on how water and air join us all in a Cosmic Perspective. The seven famous people he named were all featured in the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Coincidence?

Many people are watching a football game. Meanwhile I am reading an astrophysics book by @neildegrassetyson.com. Such is the beauty of life.

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

Truth

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Good morning, patriots

The top 10 U.S. billionaires added hundreds of billions to their wealth this year. Meanwhile, over 40% of Americans — including 50% kids — are low-income. We deserve leaders and policymakers who have everyone's best interests in mind. Read more: ow.ly/Vk3v50Xw3eT

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

Can confirm

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Hey young men in America - you wanna live good, decent lives with meaning & purpose? Then be the exact opposite of Donald Trump. Don’t be like Trump. He’s the absolute shittiest and most horrible role model. Wake up young men. My midweek meltdown.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike. When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

I'm union for life. No debate.

Still relevant 20+ years later

Anyone who "thanks" a veteran, yet does not support their lifelong care, is a hypocrite.

A reminder: Trump has mocked captured veterans (McCain), and those who died defending you (those lost at Bellevue Wood in WW1 - "suckers" and "losers"). If you side with Trump on veterans, YOU hate the troops

Don't worry, as long as some asshole gets his trillion dollars it'll be OK.

Needs to be said

I posted this as a reply elsewhere, but I'll say it again: We air traffic controllers are not okay. The delay you call unnecessary may have been the delay that prevented one or more of us from working an unsafe level of traffic...

They want to make people hurt. It's their only motivation. Hurt.

I want to remind everyone that while air traffic controllers are the most obvious FAA employees, there are tens of thousands more, including the technicians who keep ATC operating, the inspectors on the ground at air carriers & cargo operators, etc. who are vital to air safety. We. Need. Them. All.

Let's slow our roll here with the 'victory lap'. A loooooong time until Nov 2026. Even longer til 2028. I shouldn't have to say that, but it seems like ppl need to hear it.

Good advice

Don’t know what’s going to happen today, but I do know this: People who oppose the corrupt, cruel, lawless madman in the White House would crawl butt ass naked over broken glass for miles right now to vote against him and his party.

It is officially "dark to dark" season for 12 hour shift workers! Don't get S.A.D.!

To anyone who says "this is not who we are"... You are wrong. These times have revealed who we are, and what we are OK with.

Imagine these wockaflockas blowing up random boats off the coast of Ireland. You can't, can you?

Everything has changed But remains the same So once again the mirror raised And I see myself as clear as day And I'm going to the limits Of my ultimate destiny Feeling as though somebody Somewhere, is testing me #beastieboys #lyrics #hiphop #paulsboutique

Another Ohio embarrassment. What a piece of shit.

Sunset. Falmouth, Jamaica. One Love.

Modern evangelicals be like

DO IT BARACK

And that's only the stuff we actually hear about.

Sounds good

Never forget.

A butterfly floats on the breeze Of a sun lit day As I feel this reality Gently fade away Riding on a thought To see where it's from Gliding through a memory Of a time yet to come #beastieboys #lyrics #namaste

Reposting for the image alone lol

$40 Billion to Argentina. Private jets for the Secretary. Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I see this every day at work.

Seems like a #trend today on @bsky.app ... Define your musical taste in 8 artists: The Beatles R. E. M. Beastie Boys Sabaton Das Efx Gang Starr The B-52s Antonio Vivaldi (some of y'all might want to look up that last one...)

Yep. Too bad I'm working that day.

Weird. Decades of Republican control isn't working?

I've been trying to get traction on this platform for 6 months now. And so far, nothing. Meanwhile, pictures of mushrooms ratio me basically every day. I don't even like mushrooms.
