But here's the thing: You can say you're scared You can say you care more about money than the well-being of your community You can just say "I ain't built like that" MOST OF US AREN'T So if you object to this strategy because it's too burdensome... THEN, THEY WEREN'T ASKING YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE

On #StarWarsDay this from #Andor is relevant today and every day: “The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.” -Mon Mothma (1/2)

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

they are all so exhaustingly, defiantly stupid. my god.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

very good article. some of these people are getting close to understanding how "out-group" rotation works in the US. 🎁 “It’s just this balancing act of trying to convince someone of the humanity of a certain group of people, using yourself as an example” without straining credibility, he said."

America feels broken. But we can fix it with honest, tough, uncomfortable conversations -- not in cable news studios, but in the streets of America. The Hope, Not Fear Project is facilitating these conversations -- and showing us a path forward to a better future.

Speaking last, Jeremy Hansen says: "Follow the example people saw here, don't do it alone...you need the support of others to do big things." 4/4

Christina Koch advises the next generation to "find what you can do the slowest the longest" and to lean into "what scares you" without fearing resistance. Beyond personal grit, she emphasizes the importance of community, calling on young people to support those around them. 3/4

Victor Glover encouraged the next generation to "start now" by asking questions &, more importantly, being ready to listen. Poking fun at himself, he remarked, "Yes it is my call sign, but I do not know everything"—a nod to his call sign, Ike, which jokingly stands for "I know everything." 2/4

Artemis II 🚀 - Press Conference 16th April, 26 When asked what advice they have for the next generation "looking skywards now," Reid Wiseman encouraged young people to embrace difficult challenges. He emphasized that to make progress, "our hands and our minds have got to be engaged." 1/4

something on tax day (US) to ponder over the next year. #april15 #taxday #taxpolicy

while i don't wish such things on her children, she is free to espouse & encourage whatever insane beliefs she likes for her offspring whenever they reach their teens. but i'm absolutely positive, she doesn't mean HER children should be teen parents.

i'd never heard about this, but she & her then boyfriend, were awesome in that moment. wow. the press reaction she mentions is wild too.

‘Audit’ shares its roots with ‘audible’ and ‘auditorium.’ ‘Audit’ comes from the Latin ‘audire,’ which means “to hear.” The earliest use of the word referred to a hearing at which a company's books and records were examined.

It’s Tax Day. Don’t forget to file, and also don’t forget that this Administration got rid of the free IRS Direct File program, gave tax breaks to billionaires, reduced the staff of the IRS by one-fourth, and cut the budget for investigating sophisticated tax schemes.

We couldn't have done it without her.💐

It’s amazing what one can accomplish with Math 😁

Re-upping this: The path to the Artemis program ultimately spans six presidential administrations (Bush, two Obamas, two Trumps, and one Biden). It's a pretty huge team effort across roughly two decades (and counting), that also includes multiple international partners.

so the only things that broke on artemis 2 were the toilet and the radio at landing. God bless

4K video streamed by laser from the far side of the Moon? No problem. Earth-to-Earth communication to the divers 50 feet away? Absolutely not. #artemis #nasa #canyouhearmenow

well done, humans! #artemis II

splashdown confirmed! #artemis II

comms is back up. yay! #artemis II

#artemis II reentry blackout is a bit stressful. i'll be thrilled when comms is available again.

very cool to see #Artemis separate from the module.

we're getting ready to watch #Artemis return & it's so exciting.

Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower is finally getting a movie:

we've crossed some rubicon & satire is dead. this also reminds me that I need to read Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe by Antony Loewenstein.

We were the perfect target for authoritarianism. About 1/3 of the population actively wants an authoritarian for some reason, another 1/3 are too busy making lots of money and ignoring things, and the final 1/3 just trying to survive and don't have time to protest enough to make a difference.

I'm going to have LOS for the next 6-7 hours.
