This is lunacy.

Good question!

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

This is the second case I’ve read about like this in the last month. This one right here at home. This should alarm everyone. wapo.st/41uBvjN

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Just a PSA that most pharmacies have stopped gatekeeping access to Covid vaccines. So if you’re someone who wants to avoid long covid and it’s been 6 months since your last shot, and your insurance company covers you and/or you can afford to pay out of pocket - maybe get ahead of the summer surge.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

It never fails to stun me that a very large percentage of men, still, simply do not see women as people.

Fuck off, dude.

Good morning, everyone. Group hug! ❤️ Photo: The Artemis II crew after they looped around the far side of the moon and started for home. ABC news.

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch. #nasa #artemisii

This might be a sign that I finally need to take banjo lessons!

Today is National Banjo Day. Never could have happened without the mighty Earl Scruggs.

Immigration arrests of people without criminal convictions have increased eightfold under President Trump, report says.

wtf. www.cnn.com/2026/04/08/h...

This week in '85: ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ was released as a single in the UK.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

Marco Rubio in 2016 clocked what we should expect from a Trump government Rubio: “It would be chaos — no one knows, but it would look probably like the positions he's held for all these years on many of these issues — he is wholly unprepared to be president of the United States”

"I watched as yet more journalists chirped about their bullshit phone calls with Trump, which were, per usual, entirely neutered of meaningful substance."

Awesome image from Artemis. Big!

Donald Trump was rather quick to pivot from "We have to invade Iran because they killed some protesters" to "We have to kill *all* Iranians because I say so."

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Now these are a breath of fresh air in a scary news cycle,

I can’t believe that we’re on the brink of nuking Iran because a smart Black man in a tan suit once made fun of a reality tv host.

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

The Vice President’s parents-in-law came to the United States as foreign students, at the University of California.

The fact that he used a picture of a church he’s never been to is somehow a perfect move for this grifter. Hats off. wapo.st/41KXZNl

Some Trump aides and supporters cloak the war on Iran in religious terms, but Pope Leo challenges their portrayal of a warlike God saying God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.”
