I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

It takes 1 gallon of water to grow a single almond. If you are worried about data center water consumption, you are a fool.

(No I will not shut up about this until the entire site is dunking on Jared Isaacman)

MSL is coming up on **5000 martian days** of operations, and is still making new discoveries, on a budget lower than what it takes to maintain a super yacht

How about instead of dunking on a ragebait article or talking about which soccer teams you can ethically root, we go back to the fact they're trying *turn the run down Curiosity testbed into a moon rover* (It will most certainly break, we'll waste nuclear material, and MSL won't have a testbed)

Seventeen (17) hours later and everyone is still talking about how it’s fine to root for your own soccer team. Come on yall, we can do better.

I’ve never really understood this take. Although replay review systems aren’t perfect, they get a lot closer to making the outcome of competitive games reflect much more closely what actually happened in the game. Otherwise you’re just relying on refs with limited info in real time.

my timeline rules

I can't believe Cristiano Ronaldo would be accused of rape and then hold his team back when he's totally washed, massive disrespect of Kobe Bryant's legacy

I enjoy Bluesky but it’s quite disappointing how we consistently let one bad post from one annoying person drive hundreds and thousands of posts worth of discourse. We need to get back to muting and blocking.

Mamdani: let’s bump up our thermostats to help the power grid Right wingers: that’s SOCIALISM!! Trump: I’m going to take a 10% stake in any company I feel like Right wingers: hooray our capitalist savior!!

Stephen Miller's suit here shows one of the biggest problems with men's tailoring today. 🧵

pickett's charge is one of the stupidest military maneuvers ever ordered and I do not have to die on that hill because so many confederates did it for me

First up is a teapot featuring the solar eclipse from Artemis II. Really happy with how sleek and minimal this came out.

Starlink doesn't scale, and Elon + other space warlords are going to destroy our ability to put satellites up there in good orbits, for essentially no long term gain. Late stage capitalism baby.

this is very Elon Musk and there's going to be a LOT of this Starlink is too congested to handle meaningful load at scale, so they're quietly hitting people with $750-$1500 "demand surcharges." And because they don't invest in customer service, when you call to complain you fall into a black hole:

Found Elon's burner

It’s very trump coded to go through the trouble of corruption and appeasement just to get screwed in the end

Soccer needs to add a card between yellow and red. Bc you can’t punish a team for *that* and make them play with 10, and then suspend someone for a game. Make an orange card that makes a player sit for 10 min or something idk.

As always

I don’t even golf but you’d need a crowbar to get this off me. I’d wear it in a pool.

when conservatives are like "mexico is taking over southern california!!" i can't lie they kinda got our goat. kinda boomed us with that one

I heard about this a while back but couldn’t post about it bc it wasn’t public information. They want to send the engineering model of the curiosity rover to the moon. Every single person I know at JPL is flabbergasted anyone would ever consider doing that.

No JPL doesn’t have any and yeah they’re in very short supply. So yeah they’d be taking away the MSL testbed and wasting plutonium just to try (and fail) to do another moon propaganda mission

Wut? "NASA is considering plans to send to the Moon... an engineering development version of the Mars Perseverance rover" Best I can imagine is put headlamps on it and use a nuclear powered rover for shadowed polar craters? Seems like overkill/mismatch in general.

It’s hard to convey the level of stupidity of this decision. The closest comparison I can come up with is thinking your run down 1950s vintage car you use for spare parts can suddenly compete in an F1 race.

This combined with SpaceX retiring Dragon soon in favor of the Starship gamble puts US human space transportation in an incredibly precarious position.

oh please, he could've told anyone at any time, but he didn't. using severe mental illness as an excuse for disappearing for *months* as *a congressman* is not just embarrassing, it harms the rest of us with those illnesses.

celebrating the supreme court and promoting the fiction that they are standing up against Trump is an insane rhetorical stance for someone in Schumer's position. The Supreme Court Gang of Six is the leading vanguard of the plot to enslave our country, you don't have to hand it to them.

“Problems aren’t real until they happen to me, personally” theory of conservative mind is still undefeated

Space is on the brink of being unusable, and instead of trying to fix it, we are letting a few billionaires launch thousands and thousands more satellites.

Low-Earth orbit has gotten so crowded that new NASA mission proposals need to include (and pay for, out of a limited cost cap!) three collision avoidance maneuvers, and are told to expect 1-5 potential collisions that need to be avoided.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

more people lined up last month to buy a swatch x audemar piguet pocket watch

"Starmind" Elon clearly does have have the juice, completely washed

Democrats in charge rn simply lack instincts, creativity, and spine. Other than that they’re doing great.

Change in Abstract

This whole setup we have with space billionaires vertically integrating to the point where they have unfettered control over how many satellites they get to shit out into space is not sustainable.

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

Ok so in the mind of a Republican, life starts at conception but a vote isn't real until it's counted. Got it.

Yeah man some of us were not stupid enough to believe this. And the reckoning that's coming will make woke 1 look like child's play. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/o...

Congress created those agencies. You can't "commandeer" something you made and have control over. One good thing about court packing is these right wing hacks will have to sit there and fume as all their illegitimate rulings are undone.

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

“This is like a 21st-century version of a Greek myth. Either Elon Musk is doomed—or humanity is. Musk’s legacy won’t be electric cars, spaceships or satellites. Musk’s legacy is dead children.” — @gilduran.com
