thank god we’ve got our eye on the ball

we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling

WHAT! Apparently a piece of the Wright Brothers' plane (first powered flight in 1903) is on the Artemis II's Orion spacecraft! It's a 1 square inch swath of muslin fabric on loan from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. 🥺

apparently today's a good day for this

In all the what the fucks, this might be the what the fuckiest of all.

It's crazy to think that amid all the planets encircling all those stars, we probably live on the only one that has penguins or a lemonade that kills you

Reminder

my "I Don't Really Care, Do You?" jacket is inviting a lot of questions already answered by my jacket

She should've had Barbara Streisand herself make this announcement

Moulton: A very conservative Republican leaned over to me and said, “I gotta tell you, Seth, I thought this was a good idea, and now I’m really wondering.” That’s happening behind the scenes. But after that conversation, they voted against the War Powers Act

Democrats could be doing so much if they really wanted to. Using those coffers to educate an ignorant population, create a coordinated public message, hire people like Kat Abughazaleh to show no mercy and sweep the leg. Instead.. They are kind of just... Letting everything happen.

Idgaf about Iranian Lego propaganda unless literally contains the Epstein files.

I'm sure this won't come back to haunt several states

Uh is anyone here in Japan by any chance

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

the fact that it wasn’t all four quarters is absolutely insane

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

The threat itself is still ample grounds

I don't think it would be wrong for journalists to ask how biblical Armageddon is driving decision making for Republicans these days. Like, start with that little pissant Moses Mike Johnson.

This doesn’t seem hyperbolic now

i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!

White supremacy is the cancer

Donald Trump is literally destabilizing the entire globe because he needed to distract from the revelations that he raped kids. When is the media going to contextualize his actions?

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

They're trying to sell me pans during the apocalypse Leave me alloonne

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?

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is

Script.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Not specifying which civilization has big Monkey's Paw energy

You think this guy is ever going to say no to daddy? Lol

Psst Jesus is not coming back for American Republicans

The US is the only country in human history to use a nuclear bomb on another country. We are not being like Russia, China, North Korea whatever boogeyman country the US has taught you to believe is the villain. The US is the villain and people not knowing that is why the hegemony HAS to fall.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

I'm calling for the president to resign immediately or be removed by force.

remember those other branches of government

This is going to be a dark day. Even if it is bluster, we’re going to see that the entire GOP is willing to gamble that a demented hate-filled man is just bluffing

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

literally further away from earth than any human being ever and still can’t get away from him, brutal stuff

I can see my house from here

Several things to notice here: For the first time in over 50 years, there are humans who are isolated and completely unreachable from any other humans or anything “Earth” The frame contains everyone… all of us, all of humanity, including the four astronauts
