Brutal for Iran. They had hope for a moment. Only for Austria to crush those hopes and dreams.

One more time: the divide in Democratic politics is not moderate vs. progressive (or socialist) - it's fighters vs. business as usual.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Just watch Thierry Henry once Lalas is done

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Term limits for congress is a bad idea, because we don't want to throw the people who know what they are doing out with the bad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDYh... Atm, being a member of Congress is a miserable job. We are losing the people who know how to use the levers of power already.

I'm sorry, anyone who wants Platner to lose is a bad person pure and simple. Appointments matter. People are dead because of Susan Collins. Is Platner my choice? No (but I also don't live in Maine), but a vote for Susan Collins is enabling Trump via appointments. Which makes you a bad person.

This is accurate & not hyperbole from @jfallows.bsky.social With support from USAID, the DRC had built an outbreak preparedness & response system “ready to go,” e.g., surveillance, labs, health workers, & stockpiles of personal protective equipment When Musk killed USAID, that system collapsed 😢

The world's first trillionaire did this

Anyone complaining about Artemis 3 not having any women astronauts is not really in favor of women astronauts. Artemis 3 is a test flight. What we can learn from Apollo and even Artemis 2 is that NASA wants Artemis crew members with a lot of flight hours in military aircraft for early Artemis.

every time I rewatch “Die Hard” I am struck afresh by how delightful it is to have an action movie protagonist who simply never stops complaining the ENTIRE time about how much he hates everything that’s happening. it’s like “what if the way Indiana Jones feels about snakes was the whole movie”

The most Formula 1 thing ever is to hold a total clusterfuck on the crumbling streets of a European tax haven and then describe it as “high drama.”

I suspect this might be the best photo I ever take

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

I don't really talk about this, because I'm actually quite private about my personal life, but many many years ago Tony Head took me under his wing and showed me the kind of person I could be. It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the person I am today because of the kindness he showed me.

I have nothing more to add to the current Graham Platner discourse, other than that this whole debacle has revealed a complete inability and unwillingness among Democrats not named Mary Peltola and Brad Lander to build power through ranked-choice voting, and that in and of itself is disqualifying

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

This popped up on my feed, and inspired me to make one using images from our lab! Yellow was trickiest colour to find until I remembered our colour-coded optics bins.

I couldn't agree more. #BookSky

Anyway, all I really want is a world where facts matter again. That a very vocal segment of the left on here doesn't seem to value science & exploration or understand it is worrying to say the least. Facts should matter! ALWAYS.

So the loss of a New Glenn booster is unfortunate but the wild takes that NASA would beat China back to the moon if Congress had instead given them all the money is insane. SLS's development suggests this is bullshit. Also, in general the development on rockets that you don't reuse.

Straight up Stalin kinda stuff. Again I say to you: Russell Vought (OMB) is the worst person most people have never heard of.

It's also important to point out that this is not a fight we are destined to lose despite the damage so far. We've already largely restored existing funding (while that's obviously not enough because to rebuild a pipeline requires more money than if you just fucking maintained it).

ALA employees voted to approve the formation of ALA Workers United (ALAWU), a new union representing staff at the association. The National Labor Relations Board will now certify the union, allowing workers to begin collective bargaining. Read more: https://bit.ly/4e6hCXc

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

you can criticize people without being ableist, transphobic, homophobic, fatphobic, racist, sexist etc, it's important to me that you know that

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

This is a good example of my problem with many people on this platform. Facts should matter. To imply that Starship, a rocket that is experimental & not functional yet (if ever) is representative of SpaceX is just completely a terrible take. 57 Falcon 9 rockets didn't explode this year.

Two dangerous political myths need dismantling. 1st: the fantasy that protest votes or abstention sends any meaningful message to the powerful. It doesn’t. Politicians don't care. The people that do notice are your fellow citizens & they will deem you untrustworthy. Fickle.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

This is terrible. ICE separated a single mother from her son, and deported her without him, leaving him in the care of her sister’s abusive ex. Who murdered him.

Wow... Just posted by NASA Artemis: high-resolution video capturing the separation of the Orion Integrity spacecraft’s crew module - carrying the astronauts - from the European service module. #Artemis

To all the people who have been saying we should just give up. Do you know how much Trump has lost a grip on a Republican party when the party in power can't stop this from happening?

The US House will force a vote on a Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions bill despite opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP leaders. A discharge petition reached 218 signatures, unlocking a vote on security aid, reconstruction measures and Russia export controls. #Ukraine

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

So, uh. Sometimes, when a remora gets scared... It hides inside a manta ray's butt. Science 🧪 by @emilyyeager9.bsky.social @drcatmac.bsky.social, with a healthy HT to @whysharksmatter.bsky.social! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/s...

But seriously though I have seen a lot of crazy images in my career, representing a lot of crazy animal behaviors. This is the one that made me yelp the loudest when I first saw it.

Voting for the best choice possible protects the most vulnerable people in our society. If you didn't vote in 2024 for Kamala, you've told me all I need to know about what you think of disabled Americans, LGBT+ Americans, children in America etc. You feel such people are expendable.

A gorgeous reflection on the impact of one of the most quietly important planetary scientists in recent history. RIP, Candy Hansen-Koharcheck. 🔭🧪
