Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

a fox person walking towards the viewer and waving with his right hand. his head hair is shaved on the sides and longer on top. his right ear is pierced and he's wearing a loose necklace with a large o-ring pendant. he's wearing running shorts and a tank top with large armholes, revealing his armpit hair. his tank top has a simplified version of Loss from Ctrl+Alt+Del on it. behind the fox person are wings and a halo. it's unclear whether the halo and wings are physically there or implied

Reposting this since midnight viewership may have been low. Really good space.com investigation of what's happening at Goddard, including destruction of science labs and spacecraft test equipment, way beyond just the layoffs.

This is what it looks like from top of that tallest mountain peak in the distance (six months later).

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

SCP-9718 is the baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2025 World Series, which began on October 27. Due to a probabilistic anomaly, the game has gone for, at the time of writing, ██ innings without conclusion, tied at 5-5.

Rosetta OSIRIS-Wide Angle Camera view of Comet 67P taken during a far excursion on April 11, 2015. When this image was taken, Rosetta was located about 140 km from the comet's center, at a 90 degree phase angle, allowing the spacecraft to observe a half-lit comet. 

The day side of the comet experiences intense outgassing activity, forming the bright jets of gas and dust that face sunward. The material in these jets eventually spreads out into a diffuse cloud called the coma. The presence of the coma allowed  Rosetta to observe the comet's shadow.

This image uses HDR to bring out details of the comet's jets without overexposing the comet's surface. The jets are much fainter than the comet's surface, and are barely visible in a properly exposed image.

Comic. [two connected spacecraft hovering in space above the Earth] Houston, the view is superb. We can see the continents spread out below us, right where they’ve been since the Earth formed. [caption] I still can’t believe we developed spaceflight before we figured out that the continents moved.

a poem, reading as follows:

	please bless the poor coyote
	who lives where we say she shouldn't
	nosing through the garbage piles
	that rot along the freeway

	please aid the stray coyote
	and keep her from the trapper's snare
	pray she sniffs out all the poison
	pray she lives to run away

	please guide the lost coyote
	bless and keep her as she wanders
	may she always come back home
	may it all turn out okay

	please feed this gaunt coyote
	may she carry a full litter
	of five to eight pups or more
	who live to raise their own one day

	pray for the sly coyote
	may she rest in sunny places
	and run in open fields
	and may she never want for prey

	please love the dear coyote
	who lived when we said she couldn't
	may all her years be kind to her
	may she go gently on her way

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon 

(Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone
