Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Having a pot of wild-grown Georgian black tea from the Caucasus Mountains. Using an old photo because I'm too lazy right now to do photography. Happy to answer any tea questions. (I am trying to do this more so that everything here isn't politics.)

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

guys, this is how you lose the time war

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

just popping on here to remind everyone that being married is cool as fuck and if you don't like your partner you're doing it wrong

i feel like the yankees are obsessed with playing baseball. almost every day they’re like oh, we’re gonna play a baseball game, or like oh, we’re gonna wear baseball uniforms today. and it’s just like, okay

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Come on then, and remove him.

The Artemis II mission seems good because it is. People seem excited by it because they are. It looks like a testament to the value of teamwork because it needs many people working together to succeed, and it’s succeeding. One of the best things about this is how straightforward it is. Authentic.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

🚨NEW DISINFO PAPER🚨 TLDR; disinformation circulates as narratives, not false facts. This paper took five years (!!!) and a rotating cast of collaborators and GRAs. Our case studies include the pee tape, and we have an entire appendix justifying that. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

The Sora implosion is the first big breakthrough moment with AI that gives Metaverse vibes, or at the very least Dot Com Bubble vibes.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else? Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

I wrote speeches and letters and posture statements and budget statements for three Secretaries of Defense. None of them would ever say anything like this, and if I handed in something like this for them to say, I would’ve correctly been in a huge trouble.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

You know you're listening to @redsox.com Spring Training on WEEI when those first Boston metro radio ads hit your ears

Hearing this from a member of Congress is like asking a plumber "What's this pipe for?" and having him respond "That's a great question. I don't know the answer. It's like, a metal tube thingy in your wall? Not sure what's in there. Maybe grape juice? Or hamsters? I guess we'll never know."

ICE is still in my Minneapolis neighborhood today.

i appreciate this but i think we have conclusively demonstrated that it can continue to not be over until at least ~150 years after MN flag acquisition
