Post a non religious picture you think of as holy

“AI slop, the baby food of fascism” is a phrase that deserves wide circulation.

From NASA NASA’s Disasters Response Coordination System has been activated to support the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency's response to the storms in Hawaii. The team will post maps and data products on its open-access mapping portal as new information becomes available. go.nasa.gov/4sZxK1e

From NASA A day in the life of Mars. 🔴 Four images taken by four different NASA spacecraft in four different locations on the Red Planet, all on the same day: March 10, 2026. science.nasa.gov/mars

From NASA. Just makes me miss Cassini, but this is beauteous. Webb teamed up with Hubble, observing the ringed planet in complementary wavelengths of light to give us a richer, more layered understanding of its atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/4lMn2c4

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

Do you manage a STEM program? From NASA: A spacewalk tether. A scale model of JWST. Spacesuit gloves. These are just a few examples of retired artifacts looking for new homes to inspire & educate future generations.✨ Browse the collection & submit your requests by April 17! artifacts.nasa.gov

When you believe in a shared reality rooted in science and doing what’s best for everyone, this can be the result.

New crater just dropped. Wait. Large meteor just dropped. Then the crater. Another stunner from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

From NASA Now give that a quick stir 🥣 Landsat 8 caught a swirl of sediment – known as "glacial flour" – flowing in a branch of the Nansen Sound fjord system. Glacial flour is rock that has been pulverized by a glacier. It's a critical source of nutrient for phytoplankton webs.go.nasa.gov/47fZBlD

Back before the Hubble Telescope, they literally had to put Edwin Hubble inside a big ass telescope. And before the memeverse posed the question “Can you lick the science,” in the days before CMOS/CCD sensors, imaging was done on glass photographic plates… (continued)

To clarify: the helicopters are not the implausible part of this proposal. And the rest of the technology is not necessarily impossible, but 2028 is absurd and it's completely unclear why this should take priority over sample return or the dozens of other fully planned activities now on hold.

#PPOD: Lee waves are atmospheric gravity waves that form when stable air flows over significant topographic obstacles like mountains, volcanoes, or large crater rims. As the wind is forced upward by the terrain, it undergoes adiabatic cooling, causing water vapor or carbon dioxide... 🧪 🔭

I realize this is not a universally held preference, but I just want to point out that For $10 billion we could have orbiters and probes to both Uranus and Neptune, and they would likely succeed at that price tag, unlike this venture

My local industrial gas supplier also wanted people to know this recently

From NASA Great balls of fire! ☄️ We've seen several fireballs streak across the sky recently. What are they, and what's the difference between a meteoroid, a meteor, and a meteorite? Get the facts with this handy guide: science.nasa.gov/solar-system/meteors-meteorites/

Here’s to everybody who’s giving it all. (By the way, it still gets around just fine.)

From NASA We'll host a live event Tuesday, March 24, at 9am ET (1300 UTC) to provide an update on implementation of the National Space Policy and preparation for returning to the Moon's surface by 2028. A press conference will follow. How to watch: go.nasa.gov/4bGQv2q

🧵 1/4 Update March 2026: In August 2025, the discovery of a faint new moon around #Uranus, was announced. That pushed the known count of its moons to 29. SwRI release➡️ swri.org/newsroom/pre... 🔭 🧪 ⚛️ #planetsci #science #astronomy

Jupiter is a lot larger than Earth & its lighting storms are lot more powerful, too. Data from NASA's Juno probe indicate that Jovian bolts can pack 1 terajoule of energy--equivalent to an atomic bomb. Also: Storms of grapefruit-size water-ammonia hailstones. 🔭🧪 news.berkeley.edu/2026/03/23/l...

Email your senators to urge them not to confirm Jim O’Neill as Director of the National Science Foundation. He's not a scientist, has no relevant expertise, promoted vaccine misinformation, and he helped gut the CDC. Email your senators here! : tr.ee/NoToONeill (1/2🧵)

It’s cool that the highest level of our government is basically a Make-A-Wish program for middle-aged losers

Three processes taking their sweet time. From bottom to top: a plant grows upward; stone weathers downward; stars are born, migrate, and die. Another re-process from the old vaults

Sometimes you have early meetings and the day just starts out like this and goes all Monday right out of the gate

UPDATE: I have created EIGHT subfeeds of my "Generative AI-Slop-free news outlets" main feed using @surf.social! They cover: • U.S. Democracy • Education • Health • Environment and Climate • Science (I need more outlets to populate the feed!) • Tech • Culture (Gaming, movies, TV, etc.) • Sports!

I have learned it's World Frog Day. For better or worse, it is always frog day in my heart.

And now some actual good news

I love it when Curiosity uses this camera like a spyglass to look at distant terrain.

My public talk at Cambridge last month is now online. Let me tell you why @vrubinobs.bsky.social is going to be amazing for exploring the Solar System 🔭

AI is only as good as the expert information it is able to learn from. If those expert roles for humans cease to exist, so does the expertise. It's a scary concept.
