In this photo, taken #OTD in 1984, Bruce McCandless is an *football field away from the space shuttle with no safety tether.* No astronaut, before or since, has been that far away from their ship while in orbit. (2/n)

imagine if orcas had googly eyes that big instead of those white eyespot patches they do have 🐳

I quit my job at Chiquita. The place was completely bananas.

Everyone sees the photos of ICE taking little kids, right? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

February 5, 1808, birthday of German painter Carl Spitzweg. One of the most important artists of the Biedermeier era, he is famous for a series of paintings showing "odd characters & pass-time activities" including "the Geologist" (1854) ...

Gawd knows we need it. It's weird feeling jittery about summer fire weather during February.

i’ve always been told that taxes are the price you pay to live in a civilized society so like do we not have to do them this year or what.

Golly, who could've foreseen?

Tom Homan: "My goal is a complete drawdown and end this surge [in Minneapolis] as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE in the community." Translation: The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Ah, yes. That ever popular winter olympic sport, curling.

What, and I say this in all sincerity, The Fuck!?

Okay, I'll fess up. It was me. Sorry. My bad. Thoughts and prayers.

The Muskoka area in winter is cozy and so, so beautiful. OTOH, the Muskoka area in summer (and nearby regions) has some of the best geology I've ever seen, so easy choice for me. ⚒️

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

"Tater tots" is literally a cutsie shortening of "potato children," but man, do they get confused at my nearby fast-food place when I order them by their full name.

Meanwhile in the US:

The line "She's pure as New York snow" has always been hilarious to me. (Kim Carnes, Bette Davis Eyes

Not to say I'm not enjoying the time outside, but if this is February 2, we're going to cook in August. A lot of this area is going to burn. #corvallis #oregon #ClimateCrisis

I COULD HOLD A CURLING TOURNAMENT IN MY ENTIRE BACKYARD BUT BY ALL MEANS LET’S ASK A BIG RAT WHETHER IT’S SPRING YET

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Idk if trans kids these days know this but back in my day you could just walk into a RadioShack and walk out with one of these puppies

I felt this would be the point where a human would sigh, so I sighed.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder so I am leaving town for Valentines Day

God forbid a woman have hobbies… 🙄

I certainly never expected to live for a century, but I've (nearly) lived through January 2026, and I figure that's about the same duration.

⚒️🧪Fiery Mud Volcano Eruption! The Daşmərdan (Dashmardan) mud volcano in Azerbaijan erupted ~16:50 on the 30th Jan 2026.

🧵🧵🧵 I'll be collecting reviews of the "Melania" movie in this thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Variety: "A Cheeseball Infomercial of Staggering Inertia"

The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a gigantic jet #TLE from space? Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 for the DTU/@science.esa.int Thor-Davis experiment. 🧪🔭 youtu.be/xN2J7_rOBJY Credit: ESA/NASA/J. Epps Processing: Simeon Schmauß

“America is a dangerous place at the moment, so you have to take that into account. “It’s very sad because I feel like Queen grew up in America, and we love it, but it’s not what it was. Everyone is thinking twice about going there at the moment.” Read: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
