C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
Another year, another plea for help from someone whose work is the basis for a $200m blockbuster movie.
Thanks, Chris! As for the sax—I really don’t know, although the problem was clearly with taking it into orbit (the weight and space restrictions were extraordinarily tight) rather than playing it

This man is a thief, coward and hypocrite. He argues the U.S. can't afford to protect workers from scammy corporations through the CFPB, but it CAN afford to pay millions and millions robbed from three different agencies to pay for his imperial guard. #stopvought

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

X is hiring a creative writing specialist at $40 an hour to make Grok better at writing and a true LOL at the qualifications
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
The book “Challenger” by Adam Higginbotham lays it out spectacularly. NASA management dealing with severe funding cuts & fearing more pushed the program & its people beyond limits to the point that safety questions that once were deal breakers were considered acceptable. A needless tragedy.
40 years ago today: on 28 January 1986, Space Shuttle Challenger (STS-51-L) exploded 73 seconds after launch, killing all six astronauts and teacher Christa McAuliffe. I was 7 at the time. I highly recommend the 2024 book Challenger by @adamhigginbotham.bsky.social.

When i leave the bedroom, the first piece of art I see is this, and it sets me up for the rest of the day-

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!
RIP Erich von Däniken, whose CHARIOTS OF THE GODS is beloved by every aficionado of '70s crank books. (Yes, I know it originally came out in 1968. In America, it's a '70s book.)
Utterly magnificent 🙏
