Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

Saturday. Everywhere. #RadioFreeAmerica

Be like Cory.

This is how you go electric, baby.

It’s Thursday night after 9 pm. Time to watch The Pitt. !!!!

“As the polls close like a casket On truth devoured, silent play on the shadow of power A spectacle, monopolized The camera's eyes on choice disguised Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil? Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?” — Rage Against the Machine “Guerilla Radio”

Starting a list of where you can spend your money and not put it in the pockets of the oligarchs. Please add to it: Amazon -> independent web sites with often better prices (just wait 1-2 more days) Amazon -> Bookshop.org and support local bookstores as well. Tesla -> Rivian, Ford, GM, VW ….

I'm not doomscrolling, I'm just doing Apocalypse Tourism

On the same day we visit the Anne Frank house my oldest informs me that two modules from his humanities class — racial and climate justice — have been nixed because of the Trump administration’s anti-DEI policies. These are warning signs. We ignore them at our peril.

I love that @arstechnica.com has started compiling a list of products, services and sites on the path of enshitification or fully arrived. Still saying Pinterest is on its way too. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Miles Lewis-Skelly doing the zen meditation pose after he scored against Man City is the purest kind of trolling. I love Erling Haaland, but I’m sure he knows who MLS is now!

Well. That Arsenal game went far better than I could have ever dreamed.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year. 43 pounds.

Wait until they change their sentence to keep them working until the Death Star is completed.

Trump Administration says that fewer Americans dying from Fentanyl deaths will get the newly imposed tariffs removed. I call bullshit. It’s an excuse that is so vague they will keep them on as long as it’s politically feasible. We should sticker everything with how much those tariffs cost people

This is what "merit hire" means to them

Contrast the calm professionalism of the NTSB who do not speak until the facts support their statements and the Trump Admin leadership who wildly and recklessly speculate

Severance time!!!

I bought @chrislhayes.bsky.social new book “The Siren’s Call” on Bookshop.org so: 1: I won’t get distracted with other stuff on my iPad; and 2: money goes to local bookstores and not the pockets of the broligarchy. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Pass it on.
