the lack of a coherent algorithm On Here means that it’s fairly easy to see Discourse On The Discourse but not the Discourse itself and it’s both a feature and a bug. it’s nice to not be enmeshed in online conflict but also there are likely some Banger Skeets I’m missing

Ok I missed that the bright “star” At the bottom right is Venus the first nine billion times I saw this picture. Someone take away my PhD. But also Earth and Venus in the same shot! 😮

Accounting for inflation, the proposed budget would a TENTH of what NASA had *before* the peak of the apollo program

They literally want to destroy all the good things about this country, every single one.

trump regime: "we're not gonna give up the moon because we're ultra alpha males who want to own space" *immediately proposes to cut budget to levels not seen since before we first funded apollo* Never believe a word these dipshits say

They literally want to destroy all the good things about this country, every single one.

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

*inhales* NATIONALIZE SPACEX AHHHHHH

“you know how you always wanted to be the guy who saves the day when the astronauts call houston with a problem?” “yeah?” “and you know how you hate being the guy everyone comes to when outlook is malfunctioning?” “… yeah?” “I got some good news and some bad news”

Here's the video Trump posted of his ongoing war crimes. It's apparently the B1 bridge linking Tehran and Karaj, the tallest bridge in the Middle East.

this is incorrect, the count is Eleven, a tesla was launched in 2018

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

A thing of beauty—Voyager 1 is calling home right now and the Madrid station is also connected to Artemis 2. You can watch the deep space network live anytime you want. eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

If you don’t know what the Deep Space Network is, I’ve got you covered. It’s truly the most incredible underrated core of our entire space program. Nothing would exist without these dishes and the people who use them 📡❤️ longreads.com/2018/03/15/w...

I’m 100% team Earth, but what an extraordinary advertisement this is for the power and wonder of publicly funded science, and how better to demonstrate the preciousness of our own world than to view it from the cold loneliness of space.

“I’m going to run the entire government like we run NASA”

NASA engineers rn

Take all the money from ICE and give NASA $100B per year

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

“For all of humanity” == fuck ICE and protect trans rights

outside my house, absolutely hooting and hollering rn

forgot the most important of the genre

“I’m going to run the entire government like we run NASA”

What a fucking shot holy shit

the level of pent-up horniness for a rocket launch that doesn't benefit or involve elon musk exceeds even my high expectations

The underlying reason NASA exists, and the reason no other country has replicated its longevity of success, is because innovation in space requires both technological prowess and stability. The Trump regime is right now screwing our ability to do this sort of thing 10 years from now.

Artemis is a hopeful reminder that government can be a good thing if we staff it with passionate, skilled, and honorable people.

This is why I don’t love the “nasa is an economic engine” politicking. Like sure man but that’s missing the entire point?

love it when the rocket removes its clothes in order to enter space Nude

*inhales* NATIONALIZE SPACEX AHHHHHH

Update: the rocket went brrrrrr

“Standing by for launch abort system jettison” jfc that’s one way to say it, giving us all a heart attack

A core truth - science is a public good with an amazing ROI, and should be aggressively marketed as such by Democrats. These Artemis launches are a great vehicle for this kind of message.

Artemis is a hopeful reminder that government can be a good thing if we staff it with passionate, skilled, and honorable people.

Artemis wouldn’t be my priority if I were in charge of NASA, but the cool thing is that, despite what the dipshit regime says, better things are possible. We can go to the moon AND do all the other important space things. Just gotta stop doing wars of choice and corruption and the other evil shit.

Today's the day.

Trans Day of Visibility is also the day I started HRT. Today marks two years for me of making the choice that would visibly change my body forever. I am excited to announce my first Trans Lifeline fundraiser Day 1: Girls Night Cube Day 2: Commander Double Header Prizes for donations during stream!

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

A Westside for All of Us I’m running for city council because the Westside needs an honest leader that will fight for all of us. In just 5 weeks ballots drop! Voting will be open from May 5th until June 2nd. Let’s bring it home.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

"Whatever the reason we first mustered the Apollo program, however mired it was in Cold War nationalism and the instruments of death, the inescapable recognition of the unity and fragility of Earth is its clear and luminous dividend, the unexpected final gift of Apollo."

“Government can do good and NASA is proof” is a message I don’t really see that often from Dems, and that’s disappointing.

“Government can do good and NASA is proof” is a message I don’t really see that often from Dems, and that’s disappointing.

NASA is proof the government can do what private companies can’t, and they could never let that stand.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

we need to elect @faizahforla.bsky.social because we can’t have MAGA Traci out here installing spy cameras throughout LA

There are so many red flags and legitimate concerns about Flock cameras - privacy, due process, data sharing with ICE. But of course our councilmember doesn’t care too much about any of that. LA needs to cut ties with big tech surveillance companies like Flock.

It's 2026 we can stop falling for the "intentionally break the government and then say privatizing is the only solution" game plan. TSA was working fine until trump took it hostage to fund his personal paramilitary.

When I first saw this I thought it was an error, but no, snowpack is actually that much lower than historical lows.
