Me, when I first saw Tony Parker

Average night in Boston, I’d say

To be fair, I was also deeply concerned about labor practices at the age of nine. But I was a Weird History Girlie with the entire set of Dear America books, so it was the labor practices of sweatshops in 1900s New York and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

Haha neat!

Spending time in a 2001-era Limited Too would heal me

For those who don't know, every year police from around the country come to DC and commit crime sprees.

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

Ohhhh that's accurate accurate

I also think if you cut out all the crowd noise and announcers the sound of the skating and the puck and the sticks could be great ASMR

I can't help but feel like no one familiar with 20th century history was at the "let's have low-flying military planes screaming overhead to welcome the British!!!!" meeting

May his memory be a blessing

Love to see the NHL addressing the male loneliness epidemic

Morning attempt to get some outside of college football circles pickup. Within less than 48 hours we have raised nearly $1,000,000 to aid with refugee resettlement Learn more at edsbscharitybowl.com @jamellebouie.net @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @solomonmissouri.bsky.social @gailsimone.bsky.social

My curmudgeonly 13-year-old cat meeting a child for the first time is giving "grandpa who said he never wanted a cat and then becomes obsessed" energy, but in reverse

An important thing to note when discussing this topic is that NASA has a MANDATE to do outreach and education and messaging about its science. It’s a core principle for them. And as such that outreach is FUNDED. What we need is for more agencies to be rewritten to add mandates like this!

the year is 2026. you're a jewish american woman. the world leader you most respect is the catholic pope. everything's fine.

nasa employee: oh hey y'all are back astronaut: Jerry's verified? nasa employee: yeah, so? Where u going? astronaut: *turning off their phone and getting back on the rocket ship* Jerry's verified.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Imagine if Strawberry Pop Tart jumped out after splashdown.

Recovery team: hey welcome back <astronauts load gun and get back in capsule> Recovery team: um, where you going? Astronauts: Earth's haunted

They fucking did it.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Science always has been and always will be political. Who gets to do science, what science we get to do, what we do with the products of science. All political. Telling scientists to stay out of politics is antithetical to the realities of the system they exist in.

The public doesn't distrust scientific institutions because we "didn't educate them", they distrust institutions because a billion dollar, multi-decade campaign to break the social contract between science & the public has been underway for the 40+ years & now those people are in office. 2/?

Please. My dooms. They must be scrolled.

the NCAA women's tournament getting Red Panda and the NCAA men's tournament getting the Chainsmokers is a great example of how toxic masculinity harms men too

I think my favorite part of the Women's Championship is that every starter has their own elaborately choreographed handshake as they're introduced

I just think Geno would look a lot prettier if he smiled more

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

If you watched the live NASA channel and all the NASA programming you’ve gotta give it up to some of the best science commentators in the business. NASA is absolutely masterful at this and it’s important to note this is a priority for them. Not many other govt orgs do this level of public education.

🚀🎶Go little rocketstars🎶🚀

NASA waiting for Lee Corso to put on the GO/NO-GO mascot head.... GIMME THAT GO!

The information deficit model of communication doesn't work. (i.e., giving people more information does not, in fact, change the opinions or behaviors of most people.)

Is my bracket fucked? Yes. Was it worth it because the content is so good? Also yes

Bad for my bracket, good for humanity

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

I believe in consent* *unless it’s my cat yowling “no” as I announce I will kiss her on her tiny kitten head

So, if you are someone who wants to criticize Israel but doesn’t want to be antisemitic, like genuinely means that, a good starter rule of thumb is “don’t use things that originated among Nazis/white supremacists.” Memes, slang, theories—if they started in a Nazi group, don’t use them.

My capital Gs and my capital Ls slap, and you should all have to bask in their glory

Mood for 2026, (the artist is Ainsley Drew, on Instagram)

Simply imagining the clientele here gives me an overwhelming urge to cover my drink

I’ll spell it out clearly: Kent’s words translate to his antisemitic followers as “Trump was tricked by the Jews into an unpopular war that is killing Americans”. Kent is antisemitic, and friendly with White Nationalists. People who see a grand “Jewish conspiracy” behind all the evils of the world.

One more week to apply for a free, in-person, full-day, media training workshop for scientists at your institution!
