Saturn’s moon Titan is the real-life “Upside-Down” version of Earth—a bleak dune landscape drenched by methane monsoons and pockmarked with hydrocarbon seas. A group of 21 planetary scientists have published a 233-page paper on terrestrial analogues for this alien world. arxiv.org/pdf/2602.17464

Every fucking time, it’s a GOP operative.

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two. Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.

"The Kids in the Hall" text adventure:

I don’t think America’s ready for Japanese Sniper Cats.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“Today, 96% of the world's nuclear weapons are held by states with authoritarian leaders” I never thought the threat of nuclear war would escalate AFTER the Cold War, but here we are. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

As a teenager, I spent weeks writing and coding a “Text Adventure” game. I asked AI to create a Text Adventure based on the original Foundation Trilogy, and it finished writing the game in five minutes. And it’s very good. So yes, this tech freaks me out.

Marisa Kabas is doing some of the best reporting on the Trump regime's abuses of law and people. In this case, she explains the chicanery involved in a massive program to build new concentration camps -- in warehouses. (Big Journalism hasn't noticed, of course.)

Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.

Nobody today dresses even a fraction as cool as the Mods.

I’m so tired of this schmuck.

Pretty sure everyone here is aware but none of this moon shit is what scientists refer to as "actually going to happen"

Stunning image of Galaxy NGC 646 from the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope.

I generally dislike the 21st century, but I do enjoy the weird random things that I can do with apps in this era. Today, I translated one of my articles into Japanese and then had it read out loud to me in the voice of Snoop Dog.

The history of the GOP reads like “Flowers For Algernon”

The boys like to nap together.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social I completely agree that AOC is impressive. Unfortunately, the “Free Palestine” wing of the Democratic Party says she’s too Zionist.

Yes. This! This reminds me of South Africa, where BDS campaigns had minimal impact. But the apartheid govt’s relentless oppression, and the ensuing cycle of political violence, convinced banks and large investors to leave, since they believed civil war was imminent. 1/2

NYC’s only Ethiopian-Israeli restaurant has closed its doors, citing the backlash it faced during the war in Gaza. Nearly all surviving Ethiopian Jews live in Israel. This means that leftists will effectively seek to ban Ethiopian-Jewish culture in America, since it’s “tainted by Zionism.”

I’m so glad Megyn Kelly is safeguarding American culture.

I’m so tired of this schmuck.

ICE is very active right now including indiscriminately stopping people on 37th & Central. There’s also ICE vehicles active in Holland, Como, and St Anthony East neighborhoods all at the same time as of 12 PM here on Saturday. Spend your weekend outside and help protect your neighbors.

I’m confused. Why is Trump asking Iran to shut down the nuclear program that he claimed to have completely destroyed?

2024: Democrats shocked to learn that most Americans don’t want to defund the police. 2026: Republicans shocked to learn that most Americans don’t want to fund a police state.

“DO NOT SHARIA OUR TEXAS” Wow, these idiots have turned “sharia” into a verb. (“We were sharia’ed!”)

The history of the GOP reads like “Flowers For Algernon”

“The guy is absolutely handsome, incredible shape…I'd put Donald Trump up against Gavin Newsom any day of the week,” says Michelle Bachmann. In fairness, everything she sees is filtered through the craziest eyes ever captured on film.

My prediction: On his last day in office, Trump looks directly into the TV cameras and says, “The Aristocrats!”

How many MAGA adherents are aware that Obama deported three million illegals WITHOUT murdering U.S. citizens in the process?

Oh.

It’s not enough to send Stephen Miller to prison. Send him to prison in El Salvador.

Trump’s numbers are tanking in the latest Rasmussen poll. This is remarkable when you consider that Rasmussen asks questions like, “Do you feel (mostly satisfied) or (completely satisfied) living in this unrivaled era of peace and prosperity made possible by Donald Trump’s visionary leadership?”

This is my suggestion for a Robert E. Lee statue:

Trump is least popular among voters who read.

Why is it taking so long for the Supreme Court to decide on the tariff case? Are the conservative justices still racking their brains, trying to come up with a loophole that would only make it illegal if a Democratic president did it?

Now more than ever, I think about that moment when Homelander realizes he can kill protesters with impunity:

I recently watched an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then realized that it first appeared on television nearly 30 years ago. 😳

Let Geraldo open it live on C-Span.

GOP: “How DARE Tim Waltz compare ICE to Nazis and Anne Frank!” Holocaust Survivors: “ICE is just like the Nazis and Anne Frank.”

Minneapolis strong!

Meanwhile, Fox News is suffering from Melania Trump Delusion Syndrome.

The folks who think bar codes are the Mark of the Beast are strangely cool with masked government agents scanning your face. www.wired.com/story/mobile...

In news and publishing, whenever you hire a new editor, that editor almost always pursues the exact same strategy as their previous job. Sometimes that works out fine, sometimes it’s disastrous—like Michael Moore’s tenure at Mother Jones. 1/2
