This also harkens back to the glory days of the Avignon Papacy, indulgences and religious artifacts all for a price. If they could have put the "voice of god" in a bronze box, they'd have charged by the minute as well.

I can say without hesitation that this is the HARDEST article I have ever written, but I am incredibly proud of it. If you have questions about Orion’s heat shield, given the issues with Artemis I, I hope I can provide some answers: www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

Zack Polanski tends to stand out because he is the only politician in quite a few years that has gone all in on, "let's be good people." We are so used to politicians rocking up and screaming, "I'm a right cunt. Watch me be nasty. You can be nasty cunt, too."

I swear, there'd be Goldman Sachs associates making trades in the last moments of the 27 minute nuclear window.

This is real

Assuming that this means the worst thing it could, the rest of the world will forever see this as a crime of the United States, whose people after all elected this guy twice and whose legislature has done very little to inhibit him

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

At this moment, America has a clear choice about what sort of country it wants to be. There is no going back.

If you have any information at all on these plans, now is the time to share it. Reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

“Hey babe. I love you. From the moon.”

What a beautiful moment.

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. 🥹

Here's the video:

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Absolutely tearing up that they've named a lunar crater after Commander Weissman's wife 😭 Carol's Crater

#Artemis II has surpassed the Apollo 13 distance record!!! So awesome.

I'd love to be properly nerding out and chatting with other #Artemis II watchers, but the BlueSky AI vibe-code really isn't vibing today

Mandisa's Good Morning is the #Artemis II wake-up song for the moon pass, followed by some lovely words by the late, great Jim Lovell.

"What can be done?" Stop using AI, you shower of arseholes.

Another great shot of Christina Koch on Orion with her hair floating about her head. Weightlessness is so cool. 👩‍🔬🎢 🔭 🧪

Iconic that NASA woke up the #Artemis II crew with Pink Pony Club

What are the best options for running a newsletter in 2026? Our fam business is working on game dev, and we need to start gathering signups so we can let people know when the launch date is here. #indiegames #gamedev

"We are unlocking trapped value through a growth-led separation of foods, creating a scaled, global flavour powerhouse." It's Marmite and Mustard... shut the fuck up you corporate cockwombles (also they may shut down the factories that make these, some that have been open for almost 200 years)

elite enablers of Trump aren’t afraid of Trump, they’re afraid of what has to be done to politically neutralize Trump. that may sound like semantics, but its not.

Just plugging this thing wot I wrote about crappy AI - have a butcher’s and spread the word, cheers 👍👍

British Library internet access screen always makes me think of the political rhetoric of the 80s and 90s. Maybe Michael Heseltine at party conference: ‘Neil Kinnock is offering socialism without society, connection without credentials.’

Well, it’s 52 years since that man at the Oscars got “probably the only laugh ... in his life by stripping off and showing his shortcomings”

I also want to believe Tilly Norwood is offline, but come on guys, a clear bait post on April 1st?

Any April fools posts are going to have to be pretty outlandish to not be believed as just another genuine headline at the moment...🤔

Be like Greg

“Let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown or green shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing people may use political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy to retain its power of exploitation & special privilege.” ~ Tommy Douglas

Words cannot express just how impossible this is. It sounds like a bad sci-fi movie plot that failed to consider the input of actual scientists and engineers.

I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

Of course he would What a great Idea, Helping a Sunni governement wiping out a Shia governement. Lets start another religious war......

People who can't drink coffee without adding a litre of milk, food colouring, and a month's worth of sugar should be put on trial for gluttony.

I'm going to make a thread of this answer, because I think it's something a lot of people don't understand. And I'm going to start from some basic concepts. There's a misunderstanding of radioactivity. Radioactivity is the breakdown of atoms. When they break down, they emit particles and energy.

one of the really gross aspects of the AI zombie resurrection thing we should (carefully!!!!!) discuss more is the fact that this is not what Val Kilmer looked like when he died. they don’t want the human Val Kilmer. they want a simulacrum of the idealized memory of him you have in your mind

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.” Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.

39 Sudanese Chevening Scholarship finalists ejected this week from consideration for the scheme, for being Sudanese.

I picked this up for my Dad last year, it's such a beautiful piece of art, and it's printed on really high quality paper.

Theatre, ballet, opera, they’re the industries of the future as they cannot be automated or replaced by AI. They will survive the way physical books have. They’re not the dying arts people have stopped caring about Timmy. You’ve confused your own popularity with your medium’s success.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
