Someday I would like a conservative to articulate what business it is of the government what gender they are

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I was kind of excited to see that the ISS Archaeological Project was being covered by a Danish news site (another new country!)...until I realized it was just an AI-generated summary with very little info about our work 🫤 www.dagens.com/news/25-year...

the look of a man who is constantly annoyed that dying people are interrupting his party

NEW - The Trump admin has disbanded its federal cultural property investigations team and reassigned the agents to immigration enforcement, delivering a blow to one of the world’s leaders in heritage protection, according to multiple ppl familiar with the changes. www.denverpost.com/2025/11/06/u...

Fabulous thread from inside NASA's human spaceflight program, ISS to Artemis

68 years ago today the dog Laika was launched into orbit, the first living being to break the bonds of gravity. Unfortunately she died soon after. I found the previously classified document on her fate in a Russian archive. Here's what it said about her fate #laika (1/n)
