WOW

"Orion, the Moon, and the Earth. EVERYONE, in that picture" - #Artemis II Mission Control.

The moon. And the earth behind.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

mods are asleep post camera falling out of plane and landing in a pig pen to be licked by a pig

Three kisses to anyone who can dig out the scene in Veep where Selina talks about the horrors of war to a Marine dressed as the Easter Bunny. It’s out there somewhere.

Grabbed this off NASA's feed some minutes back... #ArtemisII

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭 -First mission to the moon in 53 years -Farthest mission ever -A historic crew -Nutella in space! In a world where so much feels overwhelming—we needed this reminder of our humanity. The universe is bigger than any one of us and we are in this together. #ArtemisII 🚀

We deserve it #axolotl #art

Listen up nerds I get that ai didn't directly cause whatever server issue bluesky is suffering and I don't care. It is way way way funnier to see every pro-ai poster on here flipping out over jokes about ai crashing the site than to be factually correct lol

Time isn’t real. I did not think Moon Knight was 4 years old already.

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

Mo Ryan’s book is essential reading for many reasons, one of which is how she dissects the popular idea of “redemption“ for abusers in film/tv, & how we’ll never know what it looks like until we A.) center survivors & B.) accept that an abuser’s return to their former career isn’t a right!

houston: amaze, amaze, amaze!

Realized I never really draw her in her TLJ training outfit, so I had to change that! 💙 #starwars #reyskywalker #starwarsfanart

hey if you’re doomscrolling, I’d like to recommend moonscrolling instead. just today. as a treat

I think it's fair to say fuck Keir Starmer, generally, and also think that Kanye shouldn't be headlining festivals any more. I think those are both things you can say, simultaneously, without contradicting yourself.

I know this isn't the important part but that has gotta be the single least-interesting spot in all the Disney parks to get a family picture.

This is the first website built entirely on the purity of the user's soul. I'm having no trouble accessing it. If you are then you must look within

Death Warmed Up. Question: Does this need the first panel or does it work with the second panel only?

Danny Boyle's Sunshine was released 19 years ago today. KANEDA, WHAT DO YOU SEE?! What a spaceship crew, what a cast.

1999 Darth Maul posters had zero chill

The weather yesterday was crazy but today it’s much better. So I was able to get out to the back garden and resoil my plant bed. The onion sets are now planted. Feeling accomplished. And was smart and wore wellies and clothes I didn’t mind getting dirty.

Dire consequences, or as I like to call them…

when you meet people who trust AI too much

"Well, Hello John!" "Well, Hello John!" One year ago today I posted this miniature Jurassic Park photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. #jurassicpark #photography #miniatures #visualart #photos #creativephotography #dinosaurs

Like. Come on. Science is cool, and scientists are cool

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Starmer forces entire groups of people into poverty by denying them the right to work. Starmer demonises those medically unable to do do work. Starmer creates barriers and removes access to work. We are not 'workers' we are human beings. Fuck everyone defining us by our relationship to the economy.

We are so, so small. #Artemis

Raiders was set in 1936 and released in 1981: a 45-year difference. 2026 is 45 years after 1981. Therefore, a Raiders-esque movie made today could be cheerfully set when Reagan/Thatcher were fresh in power AND you could have your hero/heroine run past a cinema showing Raiders.

oh ditto...we're really in it now...

You've got to love Glasgow: We had a little bit of unexpected snow today, most of which was gone within an hour, but in that brief time, all across the city, countless snowballs were thrown, numerous snowmen appeared and in Kelvingrove Park a few sledges were even sledged! #glasgow #glasgowtoday

Today we celebrate Him

really big fan of action shots of show rabbits

Khajit has wares if you have coin #art #fantasy #D&D

Bluesky is literally the only feed I have that isn’t filled with slop. Facebook is terrible, Threads I gave up on, Instagram is a mess, and the less said about X the better.

The wedding speech contained in the piece is 100% generated from an AI tool. This not a spoof (unfortunately).

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Fargo was released 30 years ago today 🚔❄️

My husband has seen bits and pieces of For All Mankind when I’ve watched (and rewatched it). On Friday he saw Ed do this for the first time. I loved his reaction. 🤣

for every 20 likes, I will give Ed Baldwin more cheese on his spaghetti
