Happy birthday, David Attenborough! Scientists gifted him a tiny wasp namesake (to add to a menagerie that includes a genus of marine reptiles from the Early Jurassic, a critically endangered echidna, multiple plants, insects and spiders, and a ghost shrimp)

Wow eh.

😄

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Released 50 years ago today. On the 23rd of April 1976 We don't think it's overstating it to say, one of the most important albums ever made. Joey Ramone - vocals (1951–2001), Dee Dee Ramone - bass (1951–2002) Johnny Ramone - guitar (1948–2004) Tommy Ramone - drums (1949–2014) Ramones debut LP

Jeremy Hansen: "What this should do is shine a spotlight on what we're capable of as a country. The fact that a Canadian flew around the moon in 2026 is not because it happened last year. It happened over decades."

Here's a little bit of cosmic beauty for your Monday—a portion of the Trifid Nebula, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a star-forming region about 5,000 lightyears from Earth. This field of view is four lightyears across, or about the distance from the Sun to the Alpha Centauri system.

Remarkable. 8.3 billion people disappear for a brief moment in time.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada's strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected. https://to.pbs.org/4tf50lM

“A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.” ― Albert Einstein

Epic Showdown.

Morgan Freeman didn't appear in a movie until age 34 and didn't get a big role until age 50.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Goddamn y'all. Robert Plant is 77 years old. The song "Ramble On" is 56 years old. And this sounds so fresh I wouldn't blink if I heard it on the radio today. One of the all-time greats.

Amazing stuff 🤩

Love to see this 🇨🇦🚀🌚

I remember seeing this video many years ago and how unexpectedly emotional it was. The candid reactions of people seeing our moon through a portable telescope on a city street... priceless. In honor of the upcoming Artemis launch, please enjoy. #Artemis #NASA #moon #SLS youtu.be/XCrJ3NflOpE?...

👩‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀 The #Artemis II crew walking out of the Neil Armstrong Operations & Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Next stop: Orion, then the Moon 🌙.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

I've finally figured out why Trump is so threatened by #Canada and #Mexico. And the answer couldn't have been more obvious.

This is the US Secretary of Agriculture. Scary stuff.

As a baseball fan of many years, I’ve never seen anything like this before. I love it. Normalize giving your fellow humans hugs.

We're rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces — to protect Canadians and our Allies.

Ridiculous words to hear from any politician, let alone the one guy running the world's most powerful military forces.

42 years ago today, March 24, 1984….

50 years ago today, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social was preparing to film his first scene in a small film called Star Wars. Before the first lines were spoken, this photo was taken in... a galaxy far far away.

Sad but true.

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It's about 1 km tall. If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Imagine my shock when I got into a cab in Kyiv and my cab driver Vadim was wearing this shirt. Turns out his girlfriend moved to Winnipeg last year and sent back gifts. Shout out to her, I laughed so hard.

holy shit

This photo was taken on the surface of an asteroid.

Never ever ever ever ever ever leave your hat on as a coffin passes.

Hah, this entire thread is gold for us old-timers 💀

The total lunar eclipse last night from Fairbanks, Alaska with a searing bright aurora right overhead. Insane combo.
