showing my disdain for war crimes by wearing my best tux with a color coordinated pocket square.

Roughly, left of the dark area is part of the far side of the Moon, not seen from Earth. The big round feature is the Orientale impact basin, the Moons youngest. That area was in darkness for all the Apollo flights so the Integrity crew are the first humans to see it with their own eyes

Wow.

Just learned that apparently Artemis 2's Victor Glover listens to the Gil Scott Heron song poem "Whitey on the Moon" every Monday and now I'm thinking about reposting my thread it, from like, five years ago, back when the conversation was about Mars.

It's news if you make it news. The end.

Good lord. What do you even say about a game like that? They had opportunities and Jo Adell pulled back all of them.

they’re sending 50 year olds to the moon, calm down

if you’re ever worried that you peaked, just remember that the astronauts furthest away from the planet rn are all over 45

On the 58th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination, it's time to reckon with the media's troubling role in the civil rights struggle. (I pitched this to @nytimes.com who found it "fascinating..[but] the news is making deeper & certainly more historical pieces very hard." But they're the news.) A 🧵

While today, the legacy media celebrates Dr. King and contrasts today's protesters against him, that same media actually stood in the way of King and the civil rights movement at the time. The tendency to treat protesters (even Dr. King) as unreasonable, dangerous, and unnecessary has long roots.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

So glad to see and hear @angiementink.bsky.social back in the booth tonight.

White male privilege is Geno getting to disrepect a Black woman peer on national television as his team lost and have sports media run cover for him. #Misogynoir is Dawn getting critiqued for defending herself and her team from said abuse, all while knowing she could never behave the same way.

This song was all over Detroit radio in the early 80s. youtu.be/sxkjvKBPQjo?...

This is a horrible (and important) story about what's going on over at the Southern Poverty Law Center, and why we haven't been seeing their formerly great coverage of the far right.

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there. They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did. medium.com/the-monthly/...

Well, this is horrible and a scourge on the entire history of the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. I remember back in the early days of Spin, they would publish stories promoting an "alternate" theory of HIV. I thought it was interesting because I was in my 20s. I since learned to respect science.

I don't have a lot of nice things to say about Pam Bondi, but I will say this: I wouldn't be where I am today if not for her secretly giving birth to me June 1993 in the janitorial closet of the Orlando airport Romano's Macaroni Grill, directly over that wheelie mop bucket full of soapy gray water.

“I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” - Charlie Kirk Artemis II Pilot…

Maybe it's the decentralized news landscape or maybe it's that our government doesn't care about NASA, but I didn't even know about Artemis before today. Why wasn't this a bigger deal? Or did I just miss it?

"Who helps Jason Mraz grow avocados?" I swear to God, I have never once speculated about this particular question.

Never stop fighting. I will fight for trans rights until I leave this earth. They're not going to win. But until then, protect trans kids with everything you've got.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

I'm so sick of "All Rise" and the general Aaron Judge mayhem. Just saying.

@klifnotshort.bsky.social you’re welcome

"Shut it down! Shut it down FOREVER!"

Someone else said it better than me, but I'm giving Chuck a half mark for this. Yes, it's good for mainstream figures to speak out on behalf of immigrants. But this divide of good immigrants vs bad is dangerous. Not every immigrant is going to be a superstar athlete, an Eagle Scout, an EMT.

And he's back!

The funniest thing about this is how does someone manage to smuggle nearly half a million kitkats undetected. Like what’s the procedure here exactly and how does one hire these thieves to steal from billionaires and redistribute to the poor.

It brings me great pleasure to inform you the word "blurb" is named after a made-up woman named Belinda Blurb whose job is to tell everyone how great a book is

important reminder that if you have t-mobile for phone service they give you mlb.tv for free and you can redeem it and start watching right now usually corporate perks are dumb but man I love this one

dudes rock

Holy moley! Luke Raley cannot be stopped!

Julioooooooo with the clutch base hit!!!

Fell asleep in my R.E.M. T-shirt and woke up, did you never call? I waited for your call, these rivers of suggestion are driving me away

Fell asleep in my R.E.M. T-shirt and I see today with a newsprint fray, my night is colored headache gray.

Fell asleep in my R.E.M. t-shirt and time and distance are out of place here

Watching a woman who looks like Diane Keaton do Killing in the Name Of perfectly at karaoke. Happy No Kings Day.

Randy with an aggressive ABS challenge. Challenges strike 3, takes off his shin guard, begins walking to first before it's officially ruled ball 4. No hesitation, no doubt. Truly Randy being Randy.

All kidding aside, this is the secret. I regularly follow people way more radical than me so I can hear different perspectives. Build a wildly diverse feed and you'll never be bored.

For the life of me I will never understand why fucking liberals keep putting this shit on signs. This isn't clever, its not a flex, it is out of touch, arrogant, and entirely misses the point. "I am white enough and rich enough to ignore politics, and I want to go back to that!"
