For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president

The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

Wake up, fresh meme just dropped

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

I’m in DC this week to celebrate with amazing scientists, videographers, podcasters, writers, and people who combine these categories to share science. We really do care about helping you understand our world. It’s an honor to be recognized for the work ✨

Pure evil. Evil.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Crushed that this all-time classic wasn’t on his (public) list of favorite films 😢

Lmao oh...oh no...

How are you gonna write about music with no music literacy?

I am trying to think of a better dog name than Banana? Is there one?

One time I found a tenner sitting at the top of an escalator in an airport, and I literally jumped in the air

Colorado is doubling down on our super popular program to tax the rich and pay for free school meals for every single public school kid. Universal programs have herd immunity. Tax the rich and use the money to give everyone else something popular.

Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

"Jesus says very clearly … we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=taCi...

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Does the mayor of New York have access to nuclear weapons or something? Is there no council or anything to restrain them if they decide to go to war with Boston? Other than that or them gaining the keys to the portal to Hell via election, I'm not sure why this election is constantly everywhere.

a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)

a hat and canvas tote with the pantone number for Dodger Blue (294 C)

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

A series of wispy, blue strands emanate from the centre of the image, which is glowing orangey–red with a little pink. The background is FESTOONED with stars, all set against a black backdrop.

Another STUNNING image from JWST, this time of the Red Spider Nebula—the vast, wispy, gaseous remains of a now-dead star, the white dwarf core still glowing in the centre.

Hard to believe it’s a painting!

This portrait of Temple Grandin by artist David Lenz will join the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.

No but seriously, oh my god? This is a painting? The way the calf is looking at her 😭

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

The light over the Atlantic coast of Ireland is like nowhere else on Earth 🌎

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

Western Alaska has been hit by hurricane-force winds, ravaging storm surges and floodwaters that swept homes away and displaced communities. Deeply inequitable systems amplify the impacts of the destruction on marginalized communities.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Another way I’m alienated from the present is I keep thinking one thing we can all agree on is that children should have enough to eat. As a central priority. Like, that’s what civilization is for, primarily.
