Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

An image that should haunt and shame us all. A Palestinian mother trying, against all odds, to protect her children as hell rains down on them from Western-backed Israeli terrorism.

I will say - again - that two years into my time on Bluesky, I've still seen almost none of the racist, homophobic and conspiracy weirdo shit other people mention on here, and the only active blocklist I've ever used is one which targets transphobes. It's the canary in the coal mine. Every time.

Gen Zers and millennials are putting creative twists on book clubs, driven by a renewed love of reading and a growing desire for off-screen connection.

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.

Trump is, obviously, a fascist. But does saying so change anything? www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

It is a rare occurrence in football for a substitute to come on for the second half and create such an impression they win the man of the match award, but in today’s victory over Southampton, that was the case for Mac Allister @stevlfc.bsky.social anfieldindex.com/79596/mac-al...
