Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Damn! The Onion comes out swinging! Love to see it

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park." The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

“Two weeks of vacation annually is not enough.”

The most tragic tale you will read this year

'SWIMS' upside down is still 'SWIMS.'

(1/X) People sometimes wonder how things got so crazy in this country. Well, look back at the '90s: for Clinton impeachment, you had Alan Dershowitz on Geraldo arguing against impeachment and Jon Turley arguing for it. All three of course became Trumpers. On various topics around feminism....

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend reading a good book, making multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a borderline scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

Lovely footage of the first bear born in Aragon in more than 50 years, shortly after emerging from hibernation. Part of the slow recovery of brown bears in the Pyrenees. Via Aragón TV.

Once again, we have proven that the best way to improve the economy is to give money to the poor

When terms like "immigration enforcement" are used to describe ICE's operations it obscures two things: The fact that this administration is doing ethnic cleansing and, as this article makes clear, that the goal is to make sure there are no safe spaces anywhere for immigrants.

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant. So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

What do these companies have in common? -Block -Citigroup -Coinbase -CVS -Dominion Energy -Disney -Halliburton -Hasbro -HP -Kohl's -Live Nation -Palantir -Paypal -PG&E -Southwest Airlines -Tesla -United Airlines They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

America, you really don't need the Epstein files. You already know the truth. 😕

Acronyms are pronounced as words. -scuba -laser -NASA Initialisms are pronounced as individual letters. -NFL -TSA -TGIF 'Acronym' is frequently used for both kinds of abbreviations, so it's ok to call an initialism an acronym.

New religious cult just dropped

A person who holds the belief that they have impunity for their acts because of the power they hold will never truly stand up to Donald Trump, because they fundamentally share beliefs with Donald Trump, and one of those beliefs is that the powerful should not suffer consequences.

Hey, here's some news! I've decided to make the artwork from the 2026 Small Robots Calendar (Wistfulbot Goes for a Walk) available as individual prints on Redbubble. I'm only going to upload up to the current month and versions with and without text are available! www.redbubble.com/people/smolr...

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Y'know what I hate more than self-checkout? Only one checkout line open #aldi #doBetter

This is your semi-regular reminder that the only reason we have student loans is that white people don't want to pay to educate Black people. That racism harms white people and Black people.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

Have a break. Have 12 Tonnes of KitKat. Remember, kids, Nestle is literally the company who literally told African mothers that their breast milk wasn't good enough in order to sell more formula. Don't be a snitch, now.

Well, well… If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms. #truth

It's a shitty ruling. No question. And I know "court reform" sounds like something Democrats won't ever do and perhaps that is also true. But I refuse to let ADF win by default because everyone thinks the fight is over. Our way out of most of this *waves hands around* horseshit is court reform.

A bunch of legal podcasts and analyses will be discussing today's SCOTUS decision with lawyers who are neither queer nor trans, so if you want to talk to an attorney who (1) is actually trans, and (2) experienced conversion therapy, hit me up. [email protected].

Trying to start class immediately after a tornado warning is a trip. This octopus was not prepared for this level of drama.
