NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

It strikes me that even in things like the Matrix where they're all in simulation, it's a shared simulation. One horror of the chatbot is that everyone is isolated into their own reality with the amplifying social permission of a group, and none of the friction

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

You will get sued into oblivion if you report on it based on rumor. And I know journalists who have been sued even when they had testimonial from a named survivor with corroborating documentary evidence.

NOBODY expects the Spanish opposition!

Time for my emotional support roasted potatoes

Atlas was so big and brave going to the vet today for his checkup and he wants you to know if he can face his fears so can you

Getting the sense that multiple people have never heard the term “Ayatollbooth” for describing Iran’s proposed transit fees thru the strait of Hormuz, but like, literally everyone I know in the oil industry calls it that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

Imagine devoting your life's work to perfecting the seatbelt and then the first time there's a serious accident every occupant of the car goes flying right through the windshield. This post is about the founding fathers.

Periodic reminder that Hegseth has been firing top level military officials for months now and Trump told Dems he'd throw them in prison for making videos telling soldiers they shouldn't accept illegal orders

“It comes down to this: The press, because of its own conventions and time-honored practices, normalizes him, and thus fails to get across the extreme nature of this president’s behavior. Ten years of sane-washing have had their effect. He remains in power, reelected, undeterred.”

Congratulation to Astronaut Christina Koch to be the first woman in history to get that far away from dangerous sexual predator Donald Trump.

astronauts go to moon asstronauts go to uranus dmv worker: please just read the letters on the chart

“The horrible but undeniable fact right now is that America has a terrorist president. And the whole world knows it. But we still have a chance to show the world that he is an aberration, that we are not a terrorist nation” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Damn girl, are you the moon? Because you're beautiful and mysterious and hostile to all forms of life

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

Spring brushies for Wallace!

I didn’t realize I was so susceptible to the moon joy propaganda but then again it may just be a human response to competent people who can still imagine a future

I found a style guide for writing from the air force academy officer training program while cleaning out some folders. It’s decades old, encourages simple language, like not using “fatuous numbskull” when “jerk” will do

When they get back in radio contact, the astronauts should just say "moon's haunted."

Heard through the ceiling of my apartment tonight: (cat wailing) Person: No!! (cat wails some more) Person: You do not want that! Spit it out! (even louder wailing) Person: That is a potato! You are an obligate carnivore!! #ahcats #lifeinapartments

y'know since the last couple days have been Big Epistemology Talk™ i am gonna drop my big epistemological shitpost which is that knowledge has to fucking WORK in order to qualify as knowledge like if you can't actually deploy it and get the outcome you expected then it isn't knowledge

Good luck to the Artemis II crew

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

The actual lunar flyby will last most of the afternoon/evening. The crew will break the Apollo distance record at (all approximate times in ET) at 1:56 pm. The lunar observation period starts @ 2:10 pm. Loss of comms @ 6:47 pm. Moon will eclipse the sun @ 8:35 pm.

This is the reason Peter Thiel and his buddies killed Gawker. Writing about open secrets was the entire point of the website.

The Times could have written a story that said, "These Woman-Hating Lunatics Have the Ear of Powerful People. You Should Know What They Believe So You Can Resist Them." That's...not what this story does.
