I SAW 4 GEMINID METEORS FROM A BACKYARD IN BRAZIL AND STARS THAT ARENT VISIBLE FROM THE NORTH. ORION WAS UPSIDE-DOWN. HIS ‘FUZZY NUTS’ AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM WERE UP THE AIR LIKE A SCOTSMAN AT A STAG NIGHT. VISIT BRAZIL AND LOOK AT STARS THEY’RE ÓTIMO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Them: Geoffrey the Giraffe from Toys R Us slapping to “Turn Down for What” Me: is 2025 actually… okay? #macysthanksgivingdayparade #thanksgivingdayparade

People who adore the LLM-machine, that by design has no concern for truth, must have no concern for truth

Today, somebody had the gall (again) to tell me that science communication and politics are separate. Before you ask, of course it was a man.

ok this is an example of male privilege using a simple spelling error and suggested correction. Why is @developers.google.com suggestion a male pronoun here? There's no indication anywhere that this doctor is male.

Thanks to everyone who came to listen to @thatsabsurdshow.com at the Bay Area Science Festival! What a treat it was to do our silly show in front of such a great audience. We were so touched that y’all came !!! #basf

This is why AI girlfriends (and boyfriends) are not a “healthy alternative” to a human relationship. It’s a real relationship, yes, but with a robot. The AI will never tell you off bc it had a stressful day, will never disagree with your opinion because of beliefs / experiences… It’s. Not. Real.

San Francisco I am in you. Looking forward to doing a live @thatsabsurdshow.com at the @bayareascifest.bsky.social tomorrow!

Tomorrow a pretty controversial short video is going to come out on my channel. I’m worried about the blowback, but I feel like I had to say something

This month, skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere will have the opportunity to observe not one but two once-in-a-lifetime comets in the fall skies. Here's how to watch.

This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year. It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭 Full res: flic.kr/p/2rwUwV7 Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

I am really bad at social media. Horrendously bad. My podcast @thatsabsurdshow.com just hit 100 episodes and we are SO PUMPED to release it! A good social media person would tease this for a month but I've just been…making things instead. SO PAY ATTENTION ON THURSDAY BC it's OUR 100TH EPISODE!!

As a reminder, the MAGA movement is a cult of cruelty. Just look at farmers in the US right now. Did farmers vote against their interest OR did they just want Tr*mp to hurt OTHER PEOPLE

I have no reason to do it, but I want to do bullet time with a bunch of iphones SO BADLY #appleevent

so did they get a GIANT finger? or like…is it REALLY that thin? #appleevent

i've been asking for iphone to do a FULL SQUARE / CIRCULAR SENSOR FOR YEARS!! They did it, the sunofabitch did it #appleevent

We're about to hit 100 Episodes of @thatsabsurdshow.com!!! What should we do for the hundredth episode?! We've done lightning & thunder rounds, favorite questions… SOME OF MY O.K. IDEAS: - Mini Qs : short answers - 1Deep Q : both do 1 - Absurd Mob : lotsa guests - Do y'all have other ideas 👇️

Yes I’m a competent Emmy-nominated television host, digital creator and podcaster with over a decade of experience and billions of views. But, I’m also a human who ran out of clean underwear so am just wearing shorts over nothing

Science needs an independent voice. The nerds that built everything we use every day are being defunded, discredited, and denigrated. I want to launch a new #sciencenews show, but need help. Facts matter. Let's share them! #Artlist100kFund @artlistio.bsky.social youtu.be/yKiAbONAH4w

This is great. Keep it up. Take photos of national park signs now, before they’re whitewashed

the biggest lie kids movies and grade-school science spread was the "balance" of nature. Nature is not a "balanced" system. Things adapt to fill niches or with change in enviroments, but there's no imaginary rules keeping nature "balanced." In reality, nature is chaos manifest.

I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO BRING MY @thatsabsurdshow.com STICKERS.

Soo doesn’t work doesn’t do what it says , has created a metric system that not only is opaque is WRONG is being used for the past three years to destroy field knowledge and is going to lessen profits because .. you WILL have to fix this debt

Does anyone else have the “consistently need a plethora of drinks” kind of #ADHD?

👋 TOMORROW 👋 I'm going to be in San Francisco doing a #NerdNite about venom vs poison and if Westley from The Princess Bride could REALLY have gained immunity to ioncaine powder or was something else *actually going on* (the latter!!!) Come join us! Tickets are here: wl.eventim.us/event/nerd-n...

I came to this bc I like soccer, and americans dont becsue they say 1. It’s low scoring — what they really mean, I am incapable of focusing for 10 minutes at a time to get emotionally invested in the game. They CRAVE a stop to analyze what happened and argue. More below…

I find it funny that they're closing a beach in NY due to fears of shark attacks, even though statistically you're something like five times more likely to be bitten by a New Yorker than a shark. You're literally safer *in* the water than out

What is something that is totally legal and technically following the rules, but you don’t do it for reasons. Me? I don’t go into a sit-down restaurant a half-hour before close. I just won’t go in. I won’t do it.

The number of people who sent me this today reached *proportions* 💀 — Yes yes yes, I play the fife. HA. HA. YOU ALL ARE SO FUNNY. (That said, this isn’t a civil war uniform, that’s #FortMackinac! The color the the buildings, plus the 23 Regiment, Company E insignia…) theonion.com/civil-war-re...

This nickname is FIRE

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Anyone going to #OpenSauce this year?? I'll be there! I'd love to meet more nerds

A reminder that Trump policies assume no one else can act. That the US is the only nation with agency, and that no other nation will/can do anything. It’s because it’s a performance for one man and his sycophantic followers. As soon as other countries reciprocate visa req’mts or tariffs … #TACO.

Chicago ✊

Chicago

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

Look at downtown LA right now

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

incredible turnout in downtown Culver today, tons of people, cars honking, the whole nine yards favorite sign so far: “I like America like I like my wine: no ICE” I’m not the most creative sign person in the world but thanks to @tomtomorrow.bsky.social for the assist

Ahhh New Haven

San Diego #NoKings

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Love Park in Philly today for the No Kings protest 👏👏👏

Went to a #NoKings protest today in Westchester, NY and there were some amazing people. After a year of not being sure this place was a good fit, this made me feel better. Communidad is the best. We out here! (Also saw a kid in a Luigi hat and cackled)

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement
