everyday is a new day, a new chance for opportunity. decision paralysis is the thief of joy. you are going to mess up. you will feel awkward. it's normal to question yourself, but do not wait for your future. your future is the actions you can take now

my series THE HISTORY OF CHARGING THE MOUND is about the history of charging the mound. here's the first episode, now free to watch on youtube

'Shrek' was released 25 years ago today.

we taught the rocks to think, and they're having second thoughts about us

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Looks we love

What happened to this RFK Jr?

“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fire Away (feat. ?????????) is next. The album’s lead single.

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

just saw Project Hail Mary and loved it! not surprised at all that it kept coming up in the Artemis II commentary 😋

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

GUESS WHAT BITCH YOU’RE GAY

All four astronauts now on board the USS John P. Murtha.

There are certainly good reasons for every step in the crew recovery process but at this point it feels like they’re just putting the astronauts through as many of the most dramatic methods of transportation they can think of in one day

“golly gee, i sure do love living through history!” he finally got to say without sarcasm 🌕 #Artemis

Four little astronauts sittin' on a boat...

Astronaut hugs

Just a reminder that we can fund science, and save the earth, and feed everyone, and have health care and housing too. All those things are within our reach, together.

standing by for erection of the inflatable 🫡

Side hatch of Integrity is open! And very shiny, it's saturating the camera

Lol that is a full boat

Those four #Artemis astronauts went from weightlessness to a 3+G re-entry to splashdown and now they’ve been at 1G bobbing in the ocean for half an hour while they wait to get pulled out of their little tin can. I do not envy how their stomachs must be feeling right now. 😬

the folks on the boat at Integrity’s door #Artemis

everyone knows you gotta get a nice char on your spacecraft, that’s how you lock the flavor in

They flew 600,000+ miles around the Moon and they landed exactly when and where engineers expected them to land. Every day we're bombarded with all the terrible things humans are capable of doing--following this mission from launch to landing proved that humans are still capable of wonder, too.

✅ #Artemis II splashdown at 01:07 BST/02:07 CEST!

“all four crew members are in excellent shape” 🥹

YAYYYY WELCOME BACK

i think it'd be funny if they opened up the Orion spacecraft and there were 5-8 people in there

that’s our homeeeeeeee

Space, space, space, space, space

"We have a great view of the Moon out of window 2." "Looks a little smaller than yesterday." "Guess we'll have to go back!"

Burn completed! astronauts are on their own now. Good CM raise burn; flight path angle is within limits. Godspeed Artemis

🛰️ Our European Service Module has successfully separated from Orion's crew module! 🚀 After propelling the spacecraft over 1 million km in deep space, it will now burn up in Earth's atmosphere, as the astronauts continue their journey home 🌍

Separation!

THERE THEY GO

What re-entry will be similar to! This is not exact, as the re-entry profile for #ArtemisII has been slightly changed from the mission in this video (which was Artemis I a few years ago, and had no humans in it).

If you're wondering why Earth looks so distorted - its a result from the SuperView capture mode enabled on the GoPro HERO4 to stetch the native 4:3 image to 16:9. Here I'm showing the unstretching process I'm applying in Blender. #Artemis

90 minutes until they're back, if you want to watch #ArtemisII 🧪🔭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfhD...

I'm sure if you ran the numbers you'd find that little boys don't really care about who's doing the fighting in action movies/shows as long as it looks cool. It's grown fucking men who have an intolerance to being expected to pay attention to women on screen for longer than 5 minutes

NOTAM = notice to air missions of airspace to avoid for Orion entry, descent, and landing

reminds me of when "drake-kendrick lamar feud" used the infobox for battles and wars (wikipedia editors eventually decided to make a feud-specific infobox! after painstaking discussion)

After a ten-day mission around the moon, the Artemis II astronauts will have traveled nearly 700,000 miles. Today is the final hurdle: reentry. Here's where we stand right now: www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...
