Another goal of my travels in No Man's Sky is to find a world that resembles the home planet I lost. When NMS updated to include multiplayer, all the previous worlds were erased, including this one. 😔 youtu.be/ug2PP8k529U?...

I'm getting back to No Man's Sky after having been away for a while. I play in creative mode, so no worries about being attacked or having to pay for materials. I have several goals. One is to study and collect as many versions of this taxon as I can!

it finally rained, so the yard is filled with funny guys again

“why the fuck are we invading Venezuela” should really be on at least a couple of chyrons

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law. Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it. No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors. That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

An all-hands-on-deck effort, tens of millions in funding and a breakthrough herbicide are helping but not halting a destructive force slowly enveloping the best sagebrush left on Earth. "I think you have to kind of accept that we're going to have cheatgrass forever," one weed specialist said.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

I tried to do the latter here, with an assist from @cingraham.bsky.social. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/18/t...

(3) The actually-interesting story that the NPR reporter completely flubbed is that THIS ENTIRE "CENTRIST" OUTLET IS 100% REPUBLICANS TRYING TO SEED THIRD-PARTY SPOILER CANDIDACIES TO HELP THEIR PARTY MAINTAIN CONTROL IN 2026. Everyone in the Independent Center worked for Trump, FreedomWorks, etc.

trying other art forms reminds me what being a beginner feels like, and thinking like a beginner gives me new perspectives when making music

It probably wasn't a good idea to put people who have openly fantasized about committing war crimes in charge of the United States military.

wasn’t going to post this originally but i think its important sometimes you draw 30 crows in VERY different styles to try to figure out what makes your art yours ccw: i want to get better at maintaining something thats “me”! (the pink stars are animated, you can find them in the #crowvember tag)

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Congratulations! Beautiful work!!

John Green said something like that recently -- There's so many options for things he could do -- how to choose? "I can choose things that make me like being alive" youtu.be/GZiejse0OXI?...

A good thread here. Folks need to credibly believe leaders will make their lives better. “We got your back and the sky’s the limit” is a good concept. But need to be more direct: A place to live and a veggie McRib, this could be US. High speed trains & gardens for the rain, this could be US.

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

statistically a lot of you won’t know about ocellated turkeys, so, here you go

#Nudivember Day 09- Tritonicula myrakeenae 🐡 🐌 🐠🦑 I did phone this one in bc drawing nudibranches w this shape is very frustrating for me. And I think I like this result better anyway! Yay for learning to take art shortcuts

I keep wanting to return to the Holiday Hadrosaur theme, perhaps with a different hadrosaur each time, but I'm worn down just thinking of the time and work required, because that's where I am these days. 🥲 This is still Parasaurolophus because that crest feels so redolent of festive fanfare to me.

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

There is a movement to stop a prison in Arkansas. “… We can be better served with the money that we're trying to allocate to this prison by putting (it into) educational programs, mental health programs, wraparound services for individuals who (are) coming home (from prison)."

We had a cockatiel that learned to imitate the dial-up modem sound, and 15 years later he would still sing it. I think it's so cool that "getting a song stuck in your head" isn't just a human phenomenon!

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They create jobs, spark innovation, and are vital to our daily lives. Last year, Small Business Saturday drove $22 billion in spending nationwide. Get out today and support the local entrepreneurs who keep our communities strong.

There are lots of reasons why I think higher ed would be a better, richer place if more people who had a history of academic struggle became professors. The way I deal with cheating—and the tools I have for preventing, rather than punishing, it—are a big example.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

I hope that those of you who had to bravely walk away from toxic families of origin for your own wholeness and wellbeing are surrounded today and always with chosen families who see you in your best and truest light, the way we all deserve

not to be earnest on main, but I am deeply grateful to be on my way to dinner with a family whose Catholicism leads them to love and fight for queer people, for immigrants, for Palestinians, for the unhoused, and for all the marginalized. not every queer person in Trump’s America gets to have that

Got the traditional periodic reminder from my mother that, despite the passage of fifteen years and two entire degrees in composition, the best thing I've ever written is apparently the treble choir/piano/clarinet Teasdale setting I wrote in 10th grade. Happy Thanksgiving

Sorting through over 2000 photos that look like this. Just indescribably magical! These photos include Black Skimmers, Semipalmated Plovers, Piping Plovers, and some distant Least Sandpipers, Dunlin, Marbled Godwit, and Ring-billed Gull. #birds

crab prints!

A lovely butterfly that I found up above the Bribri community of Salitre in #CostaRica I believe this is a Tracta Sister (Adelpha tracta) #bugsky #butterflies #lepidoptera

“within the closed system of a large language model, novelty and effectiveness function as inversely related variables. As the system strives to be more effective by choosing probable words, it automatically becomes less novel”

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Sending out Thanksgiving greetings -- wishing you a peaceful experience connecting with home and family -- whether that's your family of origin or family of association -- and no matter where home may be for you.

We could have this in NYC! Support the SUNNY Act! www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Our delightful neighbors across the street are named Rose and Al, and I have been referring to them as Rose and Owl just to avoid that misunderstanding! 🌹 🦉

One thing I'm super excited about: when the plug-in solar market gets big enough in the US, I think you'll start seeing some differentiation in products—ie, panels that are different sizes & shapes designed for different spots & applications. Can't wait to see what people come up with.

The coolest thing about all this is that it finally and decisively gets solar power into the hands of tinkerers and backyard DIY folks. I think it's going to spur so much creativity.
