Henry VIII had beef with the Pope too, but at least he could dance.

I don’t usually dig shirts from tourist shops, but I’d wear this one.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

9/11 was carried out by 19 men. Fifteen were Saudi nationals. We responded by spending 25 years bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and now Iran. Nearly a million dead. $5.8 trillion spent. Bin Laden said bleed America through endless war. We wrote him the check.

Fuck. The. IOC.

Really peeved that I can't wear my glasses like Ryland Grace. (Yeah, I tried. Tell me you didn't.)

But Trump said we're more respected around the world.

Seems odd that Trump is celebrating the death of the person he says fully exonerated him.

Goddam that guy is an embarrassment.

They own a war when they only wanted to own Libs

I've been saying since 2016 that MAGA isn't about winning, it's about making others lose. Some thought I was exaggerating.

The Reza Pahlavi thing is where it gets into pure fanfic- so the plan is to parachute in the guy only known for being the son of the man remembered in Iran for selling national resources to foreigners and using the proceeds to throw the most expensive parties of the century?? gluck with that

30,000 Iranians died trying to overthrow their regime, and the US offered no material support, but I'm sure one dead ayatollah and bombed-out schools will make all the difference.

MAGA affirmations: Intervene like you've never heard of blowback.

Delighted to hear a majority of the Supreme Court remember there's a legislative branch. Maybe one of them could tell the current Speaker.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

When I was getting my journalism degree, 40 years ago, we were taught that respectable outlets kept their news and editorial departments separate. We joked that at WSJ, they took this so seriously that there editorial department was even allowed to read the news sections.

Comet 3I/ATLAS faded from the news once it became impossible to sustain the "alien spaceship" fantasy. But the science kept going! Studies from the SPHEREx satellite show how water escaped from the interstellar comet, exposing buried dust & organic molecules. 🧪🔭 science.nasa.gov/blogs/sphere...

I first saw this stated as programs that start with, "If everybody would just ______," when at no time in history has everyone just anythinged.

Happy discoverversary to my second-favorite former planet, that awesomely weird Kuiper Belt WTF, discovered OTD in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, 134340 (Pluto).

Wow.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Thomas More is in the public's imagination, and I can't object to that. Yesterday's hearing with Bondi reminded me of Rich's perjury during More's trial. As portrayed in "A Man For All Seasons," More learns that Rich has been made attorney general for Wales. 1/2

Turns out firing career diplomats and replacing them with Trump loyalists who learned international relations from Truth Social has consequences. Who knew. #holdfast

OTD in 1979, Neptune became the farthest planet from the Sun until February 11, 1999. Pluto was still a planet at that time, it just has a crazy orbit. That orbit is part of why some people were already thinking maybe it shouldn't be one.
