People are saying the satellites will just deorbit themselves. True: if fully-functional, the satellites force faster deorbit over the course of 6 months, but the natural deorbit takes years. There's >9,600 of them. SpaceX has allocated $0 towards deorbiting broken satellites. /10

Bullshit. He knows what he did.

I was supposed to go to Channel Islands NP yesterday (albeit another island). Our boat was canceled, however, due to weather. Now I'm wondering if this was the reason.

I really don’t think this settlement maneuver is legal and a lot of the coverage seems to be willing to assume that it is

I was the night watchman at the Heron House. You'll have to trust me when I say that I never fell asleep on that job except that one time. But it was just my luck that was also the same night as... well you know, "The Disturbance." To this day I still have no idea how all those monkeys got in.

Overcrowded House

Bucharest. Yes, this is a real answer. And, no, I will not be taking any more questions at this time. Maybe never.

This illustrates why I'm suspicious of a lot of polls: Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers.

13 district courts, 2 justices per circuit. 26 justices + 1 CJ = 27. Random draw for cases, minimum number of cases for each Justice. Removal from the bench for “good behavior” violations, to be determined by an affirmative 2/3 vote of both chambers of Congress.

Oh, and 5-4 decisions are automatically sent to the full bench for review, with failure to secure 2-1 vote ratio allowing the lower court ruling to stand or the case to be reheard.

BREAKING: room full of journalists waiting to be told what happened

@pablo.show, please don't find out anything about NPR. I'm begging you to not do it.

I see your "justice involved population," which is not something real people say, and I raise you, "officer involved shooting," which is something apologists for police violence say all the time.

However low your opinion of the Roberts Court, it should be lower.

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet(s) (if you feel like it):

(I eat meat and I watch football. some days I feel great about both, some neither.)

Far be it from me to turn down a sincere request that requires so little effort.

Also the home you grew up in is likely much smaller than you remember, but then again so were you. I once got the chance to go back inside mine (the woman who now lived there invited me in and showed me around) and I was amazed how a place that housed almost my whole childhood could be so tiny.

if you wanna keep your job, don't be a fucking creep. it's really that simple.

Great thread here.

I do not understand why people enjoy Taylor Swift's music so much. I don't hate it, nor do I look down on people who like it. I simply don't get why it's so popular. It's an ineffable mystery to me, but I think I've made peace with it.

This thread is so clinical it somehow ends up being both cynical and sympathetic

Be the change you want to see in the world

He will get bored so quickly because he will have no frickin clue what's going on.

You're going to go march with a bunch of random people? For what? To feel less alone in an isolating world? To show you care about what's happening? To form community and possibly end up doing more organizing? Oh, well that sounds good

Lol there are about as many #NoKings rallies in LA county as great horned owl sightings.

It's time for some of these quixotic, vainglorious dem candidates to drop out and get behind one candidate. And TBH I don't care who that is. But I will care very much about those who think their own egos are more important than preventing a republican becoming governor.

The International Space Station from Los Angeles, and Los Angeles from the International Space Station:

I've come up with several of these, but I think this is the one.

No Kings

This is bad right? Because it seems bad.

Holy crap, @headandtheheart.bsky.social, Ghost in the Machinery is amazing! A perfectly intimate counterpoint to... well everything else that's going on TBH.

Search your camera roll for hell

A clear case of misjudging market demand.

Guess who's back, back again? (Too dark this evening to take my own picture, but I could hear him mucking about in the tall palm tree next door.)

Yeah, this sucks. But if you choose to get gas at the Chinatown Chevron, that's a rookie mistake.

For me, it's not really even the hat. It's that he was wearing a hat because he couldn't be bothered to comb his fucking hair.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

What enrages further is the cynical rhetoric that raining hellfire down upon civilians is meant to give them a shot at self determination, while they shatter the rights of our own domestic public day in and day out It’s evil, it’s enraging. This gov’t has absconded from any pretense of humanity

they do now "epic fury" sounds like "epic fail"?

impeach, remove, indict, convict, rinse, repeat.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Deep dish pizza. Decent result.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist.

So many great moments in a show that could never pull them all together

simply doing the right thing in the moment might seem like too small an act, but it's never a waste of time.
