Whenever people say “where was this Pamela Anderson 20 years ago?!” I respond with, she was always there…you just were taught to not give her a chance.

i genuinely think it was this specific genre of video that broke silicon valley's VC guys' brains, and 3 years later we're like tearing down the US Forestry Service because they think it's full of brunch-eating do-nothing-email-job remote workers

It's cool and great (no it's actually horrifying) seeing people develop the logic behind Stalinist purges or Cultural Revolution for themselves in real time.

Here are a few fancy moths to brighten your day. These are all tiger moths - (Hyperthaema sp.), (Bernathonomus sp.), (Amaxia sp.) #Inverts #MothMonday Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, Ecuador

My 2yo learned about moonlight at daycare. Day before it was stars. Surely we can all agree we’d like to be learning about space in the most fun, cool ways like she is. She’s learning amazing stuff I’m too exhausted to even remember I know let alone teach her The mom guilt trap IS such bullshit

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake web.archive.org/web/20231206...

This side-by-side comparison shows a Hubble image of the massive star cluster NGC 346 (left) versus a Webb image of the same cluster (right). While the Hubble image shows more nebulosity, the Webb image pierces through those clouds to reveal more of the cluster's structure. #Astronomy

More relevant than ever

this is making the rounds on facebook so i thought id bring it here for u m'lord

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

The Internet Archive has removed its archives of individual tweets from the account belonging to DOGE staffer Marko Elez. The WSJ reported yesterday that this account belonged to Ekes, and that many of these tweets were racist and led to his resignation.

I love this ❤️ they notice so much more than you expect them to open.substack.com/pub/thepom/p...

I appreciate the rodent taking his responsibilities seriously. That’s what I expect an oracular groundhog to look like, weary and solemn.

AMAZING! A GROUNDBREAKING sickle cell disease treatment has been APPROVED for NHS use. Exagamglogene (exa-cel) SUCCESSFULLY edits the faulty gene in a patient’s OWN stem cells. Researchers concluded there was a functional cure in 97% of trial participants that received it! Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

This isn't mine at all, but the Magic School Bus TV cartoon, which inspired untold millennials including myself, originated as an NSF grant 🧪 www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

Omg we love ours! Most used kitchen gadget, it definitely can make some noise, but it’s so convenient. I don’t do crunchy mom stuff but there was definitely something we detoxed from after ditching store bought bread. Also fresh bread grilled cheese is out of this world.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

I just want to feel about a book the way I felt about the honestly mediocre pulp sci-fi I swore totally changed my life when I was 16 years old

V838. Each color shows the passage of time. As the bright flash of light left the star, it illuminated the dust surrounding it, but because space is so big, we actually see the light travelling and illuminating the dust as it goes along. By Judy Schmidt. www.flickr.com/photos/geckz... 🔭 🧪

Why don’t they, I don’t know, maybe NOT SHUT DOWN PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENTS. Speaking as someone who kind of REALLY needs to be aware of listeria outbreaks and food recalls right now. I hate it here.

🧵: I am getting texts on what scientists should do in this perilous and scary moment. My advice: your biggest power is to organize through your professional societies. A few ideas -

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

People. I beg of you. Learn how to write alt-text. 1)Media: photo? Print? Digital art? 2)Of what: Character X from show Z? A statue? A landscape? 3)Verb/where: Hugging? Fighting? At home? At X city? 4)Relevant description: Long hair? Blue? Wearing a pride pin? 5)EVERYTHING INSIDE A SPEECH BUBBLE+VFX

This world is tough but so are we.

I love this essay by @sarahradz.bsky.social about giving up on goals. Sarah is about to be one of everyone's favorite new writers so you miiiiight want to read it www.the-pom.com/p/giving-up-...

the crazy part is this means the facebook we’ve all been experiencing for the past 5 years was the *good* version

my jaw genuinely dropped at how beautiful the new jwst image is.

Instead of joining Chinese apps as an alternative to TikTok, Gen Z users should simply stop dancing and having fun and become mildly depressed 37 year old Bluesky users talking about Star Trek Deep Space 9

HOW COOL IS THIS? A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is EXACTLY what researchers at EMPA have achieved with their 3D-printed microbial fuel cell powered by FUNGI, designed to generate electricity AND biodegrade once its task is done. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️
