There are so many other better things they could do. NFL draft late rounds. NBA playoffs. NHL playoffs. See Project Hail Mary. You don’t have to leave if you just don’t go.

had to drop my phone off for a couple of hours to get the screen replaced before my applecare warranty expired. i assume that this feeling of being cut off from communication is what the astronauts feel when they go behind the moon

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

trying to post through it rn

Preposterous. Ankylosaurus, spinosaurus, things of that nature

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

BREAKING: Rep. Eric Swalwell says he will resign from Congress following allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Swalwell has denied the claims. It comes after Swalwell ended his bid for California governor and as the House Ethics Committee announced their investigation into the allegations.

You’re gonna tell me that these guys aren’t tough on crime?

historic rejection of JD Vance

Iran can’t block the strait of Hormuz if it’s already blocked

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

Pokemon go to the moon

Woke 2 won’t have fully arrived until someone sings “dear theodosia” on the moon.

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

Welcome back! This whole mission has been so cool to keep up with.

Looks like artwork for a vaporwave song

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ https://theonion.com/chuck-schumer-the-american-people-deserve-a-president-1835697625/

Emperor penguins have joined the list of wildlife endangered by global warming, the International Union for Conservation of Nature announced on Thursday.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

13 troops died during the afghanistan withdrawal which pretty much cemented biden's negative press coverage for the rest of his presidency 13 troops have died during trumps' voluntary war in afghanistan, and the coverage is still about whether his bold gambit will pay off

American decline is due, in large part, to the persistent efforts by rich people to ensure that their own progeny retain wealth and power no matter how stupid and lazy they are.

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

Can wait to be here again in two weeks

I know it’s not the most important thing at the moment but again I wonder how in the hell can this country host the World Cup in two months?

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

Trump is talking about ending an entire civilization tonight in a country that we haven't even declared war against and congress isn't even in session. the cowardice of congressional republicans isn't surprising anymore but it grows more and more depraved by the hour

do we honestly have no way of ending a presidency for posting “a whole civilization will die tonight”

All of that -- every bit of it -- is counter to the worldview & temperament of MAGA. None of it would have happened if these fuckers had been running things. Reactionaries are parasites. They depend entirely on social infrastructure other, better people build. The longer they're in charge ...

the fact that this is what he does when he knows his base is starting to lose enthusiasm (they’ll never actually abandon him) should be a case-closed piece of evidence against any fool who spent any of the last 10 years saying MAGA was about economic anxiety rather than racism and sexism.

bluesky was down so i went on threads. people are arguing about easter baskets and kanye and the "blue states should secede" thing is still going. just lots of "first day on the internet" vibes over there

This is all for tomorrow, April 6. (Sorry, should have specified in the post!)

I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.

Happy Easter everybody

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

yep, this is a case of hegseth wanting a whites-only military bsky.app/profile/nanc...

Christ Appearing to His Mother, by Juan de Flandes, 1496, 📸 via @MartinFLSheriff

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

What a fucking shot holy shit
