Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

why the heck are we judging anyone about anything right now? shit is hard

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

the modems were screaming for a reason the internet was a mistake

Evergreen.

This is a curiously important point.

If Trump loves naming things after him, why aren’t we calling this “Trump War I” ?

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

Holy significant figures, Batman

This whole thread. OMG, definitely feel seen.

Did this inspire Ted Lasso, Season 2, Episode 1?

New crater just dropped. Wait. Large meteor just dropped. Then the crater. Another stunner from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

Still the best Mai Tais on the planet, omg

Mōlī!

Goose! HONK!

An interesting custom plate to see on an EV. They must like the spicy electrons!

This is clearly a metaphor for...something. Perfect!

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

The stupid! It burns! This (and the other DC in SPAAAAAAACE) proposals are all just ludicrously dumb. This makes no sense at all from a thermodynamic standpoint, let alone actually being useful.

Perfect

Yeah, that would probably work!

tbh, I'd eat a substantial fraction of these. That said, I'd prioritize the roadkill over Lutefisk. Pass the frito pie, please!

"Ignorant, restless desperadoes, without conscience or principles, have led a deluded multitude to follow their standard." Abigail Adams was (and is) correct. As usual. This astute observation was written in a letter to Thomas Jefferson, but remains annoyingly relevant now.

This. This is important reading.

If civilization collapses, future historians will refer to this time period as the Dork Ages.

If by "here" he means "close to the levers of power" then yes - I agree. None of the people shown or heard in this clip should have any say in spending our collective money. His original intent? Yeah, he's an evil lying bastard.

It's definitely Monday out there.

If any account has nailed the zeitgeist of late...yup, this is the one.

Winning the internet for today!

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

Bring it back

Coming up on 10am on Kauaʻi and there's a station in Līhuʻe reporting 6.5 inches of rain so far today. There's going to be so much damage everywhere.

astronomy is so funny because it's this fairly niche interest for a small community of nerds and also it's 99.9999% of everything that exists

Many south shore locations on Kauaʻi are now reporting four or even five inches of accumulation for today. It's now 8am local time there. And no signs of it letting up for a while yet. Scary.

I made this a while ago. There are some vertebrates in here but the inverts steal the show. I especially love the triangular plaid on the velvet worm.

This is from a weather station on Kauaʻi, showing the rainfall total for today. Well, so far today. It's currently about 4:30 am there. And this is on top of the 3 inches each of the last two days. (Lots more in the mountains, too, I'm sure.) So so much water - good luck to everyone there!

If you like hockey, this was a spectacular goal! www.nhl.com/news/topic/s...

The current world chicken population is larger than the planet-wide non-chicken bird population not just today, but at any point in the history of earth.

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

This driver was voted “Most Likely to be Vaguely Near a Parking Space”

Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
