It's finally done! Captain Silvo's Pirate Frigate for Star Wars Armada. Challenging model because it always appears in the fog or at night.

☄️ 🔭 The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%. Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’ If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

The likely path of the asteroid 2024 YR4 has drifted away from Earth and toward the Moon. Here is what the view from the small Asteroid could be at closest approach to the Moon, extrapolated from the most recent visualization on NASA's Eyes On Asteroids. Sunlight and Earthlight shine on both.

A esta gente le encanta decir que no tengas hijos si no te los puedes permitir (y luego te dicen que hay que tener muchos hijos por la teoría turbonazi del reemplazo). Pues bien, no poderse permitir hijos es esto. Es no estar ni en las emergencias médicas, hasta el punto de las secuelas.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I can not emphasize enough - they are THIEVES. That's it. There is nothing magical here. THIEVES. Again, feel free to go rewatch Hackers and remember - JUST THIEVES. Obnoxious thieves.

La AEMET avisa al Gobierno de Mazón que tomará acciones legales por manipular llamadas el día de la DANA

Aporto a este hilo de @elbarroquista.bsky.social una foto que hice la primera vez que vi el templo de Debod en Julio de 1981, 9 años después de su reconstrucción en Madrid. No sé por qué nos tocó la lotería en el reparto pero, desde luego, estamos dilapidando el premio.

Disgusting. Prop up her history, her photos, her pioneering work and contribution to the global rights of all LGBTIQA+ people everywhere else on the internet. Erasure only happens if those in power think they are the only ones in power. ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

-Es que los jóvenes de hoy sólo quieren ser funcionarios. -¿Jueces? -No, hombre, Jueces no. Jueces está bien. Digo funcionarios-funcionarios. -¿Militares? -Qué dices. No, no, funcionarios de los malos. -¿Fiscales? -Nooo. -¿Personal médico, de enfermería o auxiliar? -... -¿Inspección de Trabajo?

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

I was looking up the distance to Voyager 1 for reasons, and saw that it passed 25 billion kilometers from Earth just a little over a month ago. science.nasa.gov/mission/voya...

I cannot believe two of my favorite pocket planets survived early access?! My favorite Jupiter and Venus in radar. There are also a handful of planet prints left if you’d like to check things out 🤩 stellerarts.com/collections/...

A reminder. Abortion bans *aren't* about saving babies. They're about killing pregnant people.

this is just fucking terrifying, Patel has no line he is unwilling to cross the full force of the FBI will be turned against anyone they consider a domestic enemy

There was a whole theory in ~2022 that Musk's rightward shift would "depoliticize" EVs by making them cool to Republicans, instead it has seemingly just made Tesla's radioactive to Democrats and isn't even increasing Republicans' desire for EVs

lmao, this is such an L on their terms

bird flu is festering in dairy cattle, and unlike with chickens, there is no federal program to contain it. instead of creating one Trump is gutting the USDA and CDC, specifically its disease control programs www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Between hostile state and Federal actions (ID validity concerns, federal bathroom bans, and an intensely anti-trans legislative session underway in TX), I decided travel to LPSC was too risky this year.
