Love this dude

IF YOU'RE NOT USING THE STEAM ENGINE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST GIVE UP.

I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.

This is the energy we need from Dems nationally. Taxes are a public good

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

So let’s have universal health care and help people live in dignity.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

The four humans who have traveled the furthest from Earth. (Via NASA.)

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother

what a glorious time capsule of this broken moment we are in

Call your Congress reps now. Demand two things: 1) Stop all funding of this war. 2) Pull Articles of Impeachment. Everybody, let’s go!

I hate this so much. Hang up, doofus!

Ugh. Leave them alone, idiot.

The quality of photos from Artemis II of the moon surface is incredible to witness in real time.

Carl Sagan was RIGHT.

The Artemis II crew sends a message to humans as they prepare to temporarily lose radio contact signal behind the far side of the moon: “To all of you down there on Earth — and around Earth — We love you, from the moon.”

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

What a beautiful moment.

hey if you’re doomscrolling, I’d like to recommend moonscrolling instead. just today. as a treat

SPACE! NASA! AHHH!!!!!

I miss Follow Friday on Twitter. Found so many cool people that way

Bluesky is literally the only feed I have that isn’t filled with slop. Facebook is terrible, Threads I gave up on, Instagram is a mess, and the less said about X the better.

Words of wisdom from Walt

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Deeply relatable

Crying. Yay Artemis!

Happy ThinkGeek Remembrance Day to all who celebrate.

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

Travel writer Rick Steves on Washington's newly signed "Millionaires Tax"

I like this No kings rally sign

I wish I could explain to people how much HP meant to me growing up, it was a huge core part of my personality. But I do not consume any of that shit anymore because it’s so toxically tainted by its creator. You can’t separate the art from the artist while she’s funding law changes that kill people

When woke 2.0 wins in 2028, we’re banning AI and forcing all the incel AI addicts into re-education camps to teach them how to draw.

You guys. My sister hand painted this for our daughter!

"Daddy, why are you crying?" "No reason honey. Just remembering a time when I had freedom and disposable income"

My kid's music teacher put together a March Madness bracket of pop music with different competing decades from the '50s through today. The 2010s battle was "Best Day of my Life" vs. "Firework" or as my wife and I have dubbed it, The Mad T Party bracket

I keep thinking he can't possibly be any more embarrassing, any more of a buffoon, any more offensively assholish, but then

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

I was able to visit Walt’s barn this morning. Loved it. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re in town on the third Sunday of the month, when it’s open.

“Tonight we are celebrating people, not AI. Animation is more than a prompt, it’s an art form that needs to be protected.” — Will Arnett presenting the awards for Animation at the Oscars

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Charlie Kirk was a fucking grifter piece of shit who figured out that the best hustle in this country is telling soft-ass white people that they are the only real Americans. Fuck this guy. Fuck his message. Fuck the people who believe this garbage.

please read books

Did You Know? The Tropical Hideaway at night is the single best thematic experience at Disneyland.

I've just had an amazing idea

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ? TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged LANDERS: It wasn't though TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know? LANDERS: Your own AG said it TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, "What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is." And my stove is left blinking and screaming, "IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!"
