lots of great replies but these first two absolutely sent me (via threads)

I just learned of this today. Watch but be prepared to throw your phone at the wall.

@ournewhomecoach.bsky.social you'd appreciate this joke

Finished up Dark Side. Now, on to the Nightfly music.apple.com/us/album/the...

The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!

The only choice for listening tonight

“But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other.” —Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

It‘s a jarring juxtaposition: the beautiful picture of cooperation manifesting as the Artemis II journey; and the mediocre angry American white men bragging about their prowess at destruction. Give me the first of those every day. Who needs more destruction?

Story of my life! Even with my Coexist bumper sticker!

Artemis II is literally a symbol of what normal North American partnership looks like: cooperation, trust, shared goals, shared pride. And then Trump came along and treated allies like enemies, friendships like transactions, and loyalty like weakness.👇

I just listened to the longest distance conversation in the history of humankind and both of the voices were female. There might be something in my eye. #ArtemisII

Fuck yes

I’m a blubbering mess watching these views of the Artemis as it passes near and behind the moon. The moon and Earth in matching crescents.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

If you are able, you should listen to the Artemis II webstream available on YouTube. Listening to the astronauts describe their experiences, seeing the moon in brand new ways—it’s awe-inspiring.

have you guys seen the Dutch cover of The Hobbit cuz I hadn't

It’s Easter and I got an email about Mother’s Day Sales. Im so tired of feeding the capitalism monster

It’s telling that science perfected teleportation to Waffle House before all other destinations. It proves that the most important need in the hierarchy is that need for waffles.

Artemis II is now halfway to the Moon 🌕

My eyes have declared war on the rest of my face; damned allergies!

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

EPSTEIN FILES NOW

Some days I want to be a serious adult, read the news, and think about/tackle our problems. Then there are days like today where I was to just turn off and bliss out and just let the sunshine in… youtu.be/VlrQ-bOzpkQ

NEW: Bondi's portrait already in the trash at DoJ per a photo shared with @msnowreports.bsky.social www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

I just received an actual letter from an old friend. Not an email, Christmas card, or text, and not from first-degree family, but an actual letter, from a friend. I’ve stumbled into a portal to 1993?

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

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

"We need a 5% wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Over a ten-year period, this bill would raise much-needed $4.4tn for public coffers," writes @sanders.senate.gov. "Let’s choose democracy over oligarchy."

HA a conservative in my family just asked me if I’m not tired of being angry all the time, and I am really just tired of them constantly doing shit that makes me angry. I would LOVE to be happy enough to just post about my cats exclusively. That’s the dream.

This woman has shown not one iota of remorse regarding her illegal conduct. I hope they increase her sentence, but I’m sure the court will acquiesce to the Orange One as usual and decrease it, or suspend it altogether. What a stupid timeline.

“Challenger Trauma” is one of the Bluesky trending topics. We were out that Tuesday for a teacher’s funeral, so I was with my father when we went to get our Buick worked on. The news came over the radio. Similarly the first I heard of 9/11 was over a radio bulletin. No more listening to radio.

Washington state’s Millionaires’ Tax was officially signed into law this week. The revenue will fund public education, child care, and expand the state's earned income tax credit to help an additional 500,000 working families. Remember: We still have the power to fix the system.

Wettest day in more than two weeks
