Musk, Thiel, Trump, Russia, and China share the same goal: to divide, weaken, and destroy the EU, ensuring it never becomes a strong geopolitical player

Carl would not be happy with the world today. Whatever happened to nuclear disarmament? 🧪🌎🤯

De todo lo que está pasando en EEUU una las cosas que me parecen más viles es el secuestro, internamiento y deportación de hispanos por parte de la gestapo trumpista. Lo de Gaza es infinitamente peor pero, ¿no merece mayor atención y rechazo por parte del mundo hispano?

This is some intense and vital reporting from the New York Times, showing in detail what is happening to some people caught up in the deportation actions in our country. I urge you to watch the whole video. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Here's a fun podcast interview I did with The LIUniverse with Dr. Charles Liu. We covered 3I/Atlas, NASA politics, Venus exploration and a bunch of other stuff… 🔭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY8K...

Such an asshole move.

THE LAST MOONSHIP - FOR NOW... This was the last crewed ship to take off from the Moon. Here you can see Apollo 17 Commander Gene Cernan through the window of the ascent stage of the Lunar module. The Apollo 17 crew returned to Earth 53 years ago today! 🔭

#bookreview #booksky Chasing New Horizons, Alan Stern and @drfunkyspoon.bsky.social , 320p, 2018, audio 8.5/10 I really enjoyed this book. It's amazing to me that the whole idea started was back in 1989, and took that long to come to life! /1

Europa Clipper has imaged interstellar comet 3I/Atlas with its ultraviolet spectrometer! This is only the 3rd interstellar object discovered so far: an icy wanderer from a distant planetary system, and now we’ll learn more about what it’s made of!! 🔭 www.swri.org/newsroom/pre...

It's time to #DeICETheseFlights. Add your name now: seiu.co/de-ice-flights Fascism expands when we look away. Share this, organize, and support the groups fighting back. Cruelty is a choice — and so is resistance. #SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

We need action: • Airlines end deportation contracts • End inhumane treatment of detained immigrants • End Trump regime’s ICE terror campaign • Guarantee due process for every person on U.S. soil People deserve dignity, not disappearance. Add your name: seiu.co/de-ice-flights #SEIUPartner @seiu.org

These airlines aren’t providing transportation. They’re enabling abuse. Reports show assaults, medical neglect, retaliation, and systemic violations of ICE’s own rules. Cruelty outsourced for convenience and monetized for profit. It must end. #SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

#SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

This isn’t “border security.” It’s state sanctioned white supremacy. Did you know? These flights aren’t run by ICE but private airlines like Avelo, GlobalX, Eastern, and Omni profit from trauma funded by taxpayers. Corporate profit is strapped into every seat. #SEIUPartner @seiu.org

#SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

DOJ data shows 97% of people ICE detains in Chicago for deportation have NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Trump vowed to target “violent criminals.” He lied. The past month: 8 immi judges fired, “remigration now” Nazi policy & deportations against court orders. #SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

#SEIUPartner #DeICETheseFlights @seiu.org

We need to #DeICETheseFlights. Since Trump took office, 200,000+ people have been separated from their families. Many forced onto ICE Air flights, shackled & flown thousands of miles in extreme heat, broken toilets, & no access to safety in an emergency. But it gets worse. #SEIUPartner @seiu.org

“listen: there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go” - E. E. Cummings 47 years ago today: the Pioneer Venus probes reached Venus, descending through the swirling global clouds and scorching, crushing air to send back word of the unknown gasses and mysterious conditions below… (1/3) 🧪

DC area peeps: Cone see Durty Neil tomorrow night in Takoma Park! We play only relatively obscure (non radio) Neil Young covers. (Because sad songs make you feel good) No cover charge but all band tips go to a local immigrant support group.

Um, HELLO! I mean I get why they wanted to keep it to 67 (Get it?!) but what am I, chopped liver?

Now we know why these posers called themselves “Kiss”.

Perfecto. Thanks @drfunkyspoon.bsky.social

Nails it!

The U.S. has now officially declared itself white supremacist and anti- democratic in its foreign policy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w...

Unbelievable.

And yet there are still those in our community, the space community, who support this horribly destructive, ignorant and dangerously powerful racist, antisemitic sociopathic troll. Space people, however important you think our work is, whatever positive ends for humanity you believe we are… (1/2) 🧪

A tiny crack in a spacecraft window triggered China’s first-ever emergency launch to Tiangong space station. A CCTV article reveals what happened over 20 intense days, and why a piece of space debris smaller than 1 mm forced the emergency response.

Interesting new paper by Ned Block, exploring the implications if subcomputational biological mechanisms turn out to be necessary for consciousness (the entertainingly named "meat hypothesis") www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

found this email from Fred Singer (well known climate denialist) from 2016. he had spoken to my class and they wanted to ask a few follow up questions. like almost all of this statements, these answers did not age well.
