Reminder you can just watch all the PWHL’s games on YouTube. No cable, no streaming needed. Here’s tonight’s game www.youtube.com/live/T4JKvp-...

'I don't get why people are so negative about things. We're just excited to be props at one of the biggest nights of politics and propaganda in this country.'

I just love late-stage capitalism so much! A company whose name I don't recognize, and who I don't remember giving my personal information to, has sent me a letter about a data breach that may have exposed my sensitive information to hackers. What a cool occurrence!

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Just think- they are people in this world who, when stopped in their car fourth in line at a stop light, will step on their gas pedal before the people in front of them have. It's a silly thing to do at any time, but doubly so when I'm right in front of such a person.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

Based on other recent government file releases, I assume we'll learn that UFOs are just various rich men committing crimes

On this day, my planetarium presenters usually play an animation that flies along the Voyager 1 trajectory while Sagan's reading of the Pale Blue Dot excerpt plays, punctuated with this image at the end. Word in the street is that we moved some audience members to tears today (which is the goal tbh)

Look out heliocentrism, you're next.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

New sensibilities in curling? What're they doing, throwing the stones overhand?

The most American thing I think of is commercializing the Olympics, and if I could buy the jacket the women's hockey coach is wearing, I would. It looks like the logo that was used in 1984, but on a white jacket?

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked? anyway

They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think whether they should

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

From NOAA Satellites: The arctic blast that put much of Florida into a deep freeze also created these mesmerizing cloud streets caught by bsky.app/profile/noaa.gov 's GOESEast. Learn more in our #SatelliteSnapshot: bit.ly/3NVBiT5

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

If you wanna watch a really big rocket roll very slowly out to the launch pad in Florida, live, go here now m.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVn... It’s the Artemis II mission, aiming to launch in the coming weeks to send humans to the Moon for the first time in over half a century 🧪

Good news everyone, the Senate will consider a resolution against a war in Venezuela several days after the initial attack. That sounds like an appropriate and effective response

When anyone and everyone hypes the Moon, facts get twisted. In this very piece, we read: "Depending on when the supermoon occurs, it has a different name—a March supermoon is a Worm Moon; a May supermoon is a Flower Moon." Those names aren't supermoon exclusives, and exist for every full moon.

Those poor asteroids, they didn't deserve that

With 3I/ATLAS moving away from the inner solar system, I'd rather frame it as 'Earth making its closest approach to 3I' instead of the other way around. Our planet is doing most of the work to close the gap to 1 8 au

Very excited to see what this #BetterKnowAnAsteroid mission can do, and if anyone is wondering what's on my Christmas list, that unofficial patch just rocketed to a spot near the top

Looking to spread some yuletide cheer with my new song “Big Nick Christmas”

Really interesting analysis here on how claims get amplified by our current media environment (and a rebuttal of sorts to those who argue that Avi Loeb's alien spacecraft hype is good because any science engagement is good engagement): www.cip.uw.edu/2025/12/03/3...

While not a medical doctor, Dr Pepper does hold a PhD in neoclassical literary theory and thus deserves our respect

NASA's OSIRIS-APEX just flew past Earth, making a course adjustment to asteroid Apophis in 2029. Apophis will come very close to us that year & could hit in the future. OSIRIS-APEX will tell us a lot about Apophis...assuming the mission survives budget cuts. 🔭🧪 news.arizona.edu/news/osiris-...

Now that's what I call seasonal #BetterKnowAnAsteroid content

Sounds like a reason to update all of the planetarium's NEA data files #BetterKnowAnAsteroid

Oh boy, let's see how worked up the conspiracy-laden subreddits are getting now that one of their biggest complaints has an expiration date...

Could someone let the potential head of NASA know that the answer to his question, “What is ‘built’ at JPL?”, is Spaceships. They build spaceships that explore other planets. Seems like a good thing for NASA (and makes the country look extra rich and smart, if that moves the needle for you).

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

To any (mutual) space journos, I'm happy to answer a few questions about the 3I/Atlas images from Perseverance in the hope we can debunk some of the misinformation that is going around currently.

If only there was a way to go pick up this rock sample so it could be studied more comprehensively on Earth...

Guys, I was wrong. Avi Loeb is an artistic genius. medium.com/@steve.desch...

It's very weird to me that they wrote this whole press release and didn't once use a word like "moon" or "satellite" news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/gian...

I have a complaint about Avi Loeb's latest work and I want to speak to management. medium.com/@steve.desch...

Two things: 1. Large language models like ChatGPT are statistically likely word generators; they don't have "expertise" in anything. 2. I have seen a team of PhD level experts fail to assemble a dresser from IKEA.

So far, only 50% of claimed planets in the Alpha Cen system have turned out to be real. Wait for more data.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

NPR photo editor choosing an unflattering photo of Democrat Chuck Schumer to illustrate their story about "the Senate" (actually only Republicans) zeroing out their own budget is such a perfect encapsulation of how we got here.

I've long said the design should be on a knit beanie too, but these are pretty cool
