And we have our first glimpse of the moon from Artemis II!

More to see in that image: * Aurora Australis (bright green, upper right) & Aurora Borealis (plane green, lower left) visible as faint streaks * The bright dot in the lower right is Venus * The white haze in the lower right is zodiacal light: dust in the plane of the Solar System lit by sunlight

Did you know... magnolia evolved on earth about 95 million years ago! Magnolia is so old in fact that it pre-dates the existence of bees and butterflies, meaning they relied on beetles to pollinate in their early days.

Remember kids: means testing is for smug busybodies and jackasses who want to waste money punishing people for being poor!

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

Last week I treated myself to Joe Todd Stanton’s newest picture book which is just gorgeous. 😍 It got me thinking we need a #KidsBooksFriday celebrating illustrators. Which illustrators do you love? And which of their books show of the best of their style? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Thinking of that time at work when sales was asking for 20 foot USB cables and our electrical engineer said “it’s ohm’s law, not ohm’s fucking suggestion”

Signal boosts are hugely appreciate always, but especially right now because this is a mature rated game and that results in me having less viewers than usual, so it's extra appreciated right now!

I should have thought to add a little Artemis rocket to this! … and maybe historic space flights in general 🤔 Both Voyagers are in here! orrery.solar

FFS Dave. Yes you, Dave.

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Fam heads up on a call for submissions: please share with a Black Horror writer who you know would eat this up. Look at that dream editing duo: @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and @chesyaburke.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥 Deadline January 14th, 2026...! blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

The entire timeline right now

A thing to look for during the launch is the activation of the sound suppression system. Basically, they pump 450,000 gallons of water into the area under the rocket.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

The Artemis II astronauts, now suited up for launch, are headed to the launch pad. The crew includes NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, and @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy. Original post

Literally the only good April Fool. (And before you ask I checked before sharing and this is not AI; there's a whole behind the scenes video of them making it.) #Warhammer40K

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

once in a blue moon a Garda experiences consequences for reckless or negligent actions, and the reaction of their management is to call for protection or immunity. inspires confidence doesn't it

Meanwhile states can rewrite their bans. Another lawsuit can be filed. It took four years for Chiles to get to SCOTUS on a preliminary injunction motion. There's time to do something about this. We have to push Democrats HARD. We can't have a nominee without a court reform plan. That's my opinion.

Gentle reminder on this day: saying things like "we are all immigrants (except natives)" actually erases important amounts of American history. There are a lot of people who are not native whose ancestors never immigrated to the US.

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

After much debate at @askhistorians.bsky.social HQ, we went with a classic today: AITA. Which gave @roelkonijn.bsky.social a chance to dust off the loudest man in history.

Documents say asylum law centre was in “unprecedented crisis”. The Legal Aid Board tried to hide it with redactions. A technical fail made it easy to reveal what sat behind the black rectangles. The board said it redacted accounts that weren’t “evidence-based”. www.dublininquirer.com/documents-sa...

To add, I remember having to call out the same idea about “lazy” or “scammy” people having kids to get money probably 15 years ago. At the time it was more purely sexist and classist, being aimed at Irish-born, presumed-white women living in social housing. It was a lie then as well, of course.

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].

I share this warning most years. I just want young journalists to know. On April 1st some PRs publish ‘hilarious’ press releases. In my first year of journalism no one told me there was this magical day where they simply lie. And that is how I came to write an article about condoms for dogs.

Havoc Jam is over! We had 52 entries, which is wild. You can read 'em all here: itch.io/jam/havoc-en... Topics include: - Petty revenge skeletons - Scouts haunted by creatures from campfire stories - Disabled heroes from an alternate dimension - Interstellar punk raves - ONLY TRUST YOUR FISTS

I don't know enough about trans day of visibility to say much other than I'm lucky enough to have a handful of trans friends and I want them to be happy and anyone who wants to prevent that can get fucked

Yes, this is real.
