I don’t want to overload the internet or anything…. But please have Morag and her ducking babies. I could not be more proud of this little pup, she’s 9 months old and happy to cuddle with 1 week old ducklings. I love her & the floofs so much. #spudlet #ducklings

If you see this, post a character from space.

West Philly music venue World Stage — formerly known as World Cafe Live — was shut down by Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement officers on Saturday. Three bartenders and a manager were arrested but released on Sunday. The venue plans to stay open as a BYOB.

Starbucks announced it will expand tipping to make it easier for customers to tip baristas across the US. The company is also adding bonuses in stores that meet certain goals. Except for union baristas. /1

The reaction of Dr Kelsey Young at the Science Desk was one of the best things in the feed but I'd also like to acknowledge the dude in the lower left corner of the control room view doing his own little dance of joy during Jeremy Hansen's discussion of his corona observations. #Artemis

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

we all deserved a little dose of space nerds, as a treat

impact flash moonjoy pog, live science director Kelsey Young's reaction

Oh he’s a big ol’ sicko.

There IS in fact a process ⬇️ But an apology--pals, that's the FOURTH thing on the list. NOT the first. I have no time for the "You don't offer a path back! You lack compassion!" crowd. There IS a path but it's really rigorous & if people don't want to do the rigorous work of repair, THAT'S ON THEM!

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept. 2025)

All I could think of was haunted moon when the crew asked NASA to spell out Zeeman crater because I too thought she said Demon and yeah the moon is totally haunted.

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

What a beautiful moment.

This is unbelievably bleak

Total solar eclipse! Solar corona! From behind the Moon! #Artemis

Watching the profound emotional response from all the crew members when announcing that they wanted to name a previously unnamed crater after Reid Wiseman's late wife had a similar impact on me. Empathy and kindness - and teamwork and solidarity. We can still choose these.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

Yes, it is on Netflix. It'll also be on Hulu, Apple TV, Amazon, HBO Max, and Roku. As well as the NASA YT channel. Because it's a big deal. All these channels know it, and I'm glad there are as many options to watch. It's not like Netflix got exclusive rights or something.

Only the worst dregs of humanity could figure out a way to gentrify dogs *and* create an AI powered false dog that absolutely no one with any sense likes or even wants to pet but rather, eagerly kick or hobble on principle.

We are so, so small. #Artemis

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

Annual reminder that virtually every 'Easter was a pagan festival' claim online is bullshit. historyforatheists.com/2017/04/east...

Every day I find it harder to file my taxes. Like, there's just war and famine on the receipt.

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved

ONCE AGAIN I AM RE-UPPING MY AGGRESSIVE SUPPORT FOR FREETAXUSA, I just filed and it gave me a little referral code where I can be entered to win a contest if someone signs up with this link, so if you still haven't done your taxes yet and you want to divest from TurboTax, you will NOT regret this

Promo your stuff relentlessly, before, during, years after release. This is probably because I was a stand up and we necessarily lived in self-promotion mode, but if I don’t see you posting about your shit every day, I assume the weird American Calvinist kind virus got you. Or you’re Canadian.

Good thread

This handsome pair of whiskers is also off the website, along with the other tuxedo kitten. I would like to point out they still have a lot of senior cats looking for a good home to live out their retirement in if you are so inclined. www.womensanimalcenter.org/our-animal-s...

Good job Bluesky, your vibes worked. Darla is no longer on the website. She has found her home.

This is absolute trash. Kids are submitting their original art for AP Studio Art classes. Claiming copyright over that work is genuinely evil.

"There is no way to watch the new Harry Potter show subversively" from the above article so perfectly encapsulates the essence of boycotts, from BDS to Target to genAI. There is a reason they're so terrifying to the most powerful people on earth: they work.

I think the Methodist church “randomly” on the cover of JD Vance’s book about his Catholicism is a dog whistle to white supremacists.

Wannabe kings use reign.

Keep going. Save yourself.

Here it is. A cute owlet stretch I captured this afternoon. Feel free to set it to your own music, or just smile at it in silence :) 🪶 🐣

“Just one interaction with a flattering chatbot was likely to ‘distort’ a human user’s ‘judgement’ and ‘erode prosocial motivations,’ an outcome that persisted regardless of a person’s demographics and previous grasp on the tech…”

Did I just follow 3 new people because they also felt betrayed by the ending of Warehouse 13, you bet your sweet bippy I did.

A few years back I had a salad at a restaurant that used mascarpone cheese and figs that I still think about. I am tempted to try and recreate it for Easter tomorrow, but I am also wary of trying new things to bring to a holiday dinner. I have also never put mascarpone cheese in anything.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Kaiju and Harlowe doing their best to prevent me from stripping the bed and getting my laundry started. #caturday

I think a lot of Bluesky users are in the demographic of “people who simply will stop using social media entirely if all the text-based social platforms that aren’t run by unrepentant Nazis (like this one) go away,” myself very much included

With the caveat that this is a Fox poll, this would seem to suggest that in 2006 the majority of people polled simply did not know what the 14th Amendment said, but by 2026 Trump’s demagoguery around birthright citizenship had educated a huge swathe of the public, only NOT in the way he intended.

Courtney is in fact speaking for me in this instance. Several is the time I would write something significant in Chapter Seventeen(ish) and then go back and add a couple of sentences in Chapter Three(ish) to make it look like I had been thinking about this plot twist all along.

There's this myth that non-voters are just as aware of and engaged with current events as voters are and that they just haven't found the candidate that inspires them and no, that's not true at all, it's usually that they don't know anything about politics at all, which is the entire challenge.

A little Saturday morning biscuit making. #caturday

Today is a good day for a Television Without Pity nostalgia hole...because I was just watching The Pitt and thinking "I WOULD BLOODY LOVE A TWOP RECAP OF THIS".

Just out of curiosity who did those farmers vote for and how do they intend to vote in the midterms? This is not a criticism of the article, but knowing how purple Bucks County is, I’m guessing a lot of these farmers voted for the very guy causing their hardship.
