Aaah, 'tis the season of "holiday" specials that are 99.99% Christmas themed with a token menorah in the corner. Blah blah war on Christmas blah. Joy to the world 🫠

Boomers yelling at Millennials for years: You shouldn't get a goddamn participation trophy just for showing up! You're not that special!

Also boomers:

Breaking news: it's very relaxing to watch the snow fall while drinking a cup of hot tea under a heated blanket. In case anyone was wondering. ❄️☕

USPS costs less per person per year than a subscription to Amazon Prime, and provides way more to the country as a whole, treats is workers better, and is better for the environment. $30/year? That's a steal.

This is a really valuable thread to read from top to bottom ⬇️

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Completed - NASA Two technicians look up at NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope after its inner and outer segments were connected at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight

Holy moly: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope construction is completed! That's fantastic news — much needed right now — and I am very much looking forward to when this beast launches. It has 100X the field of view of Hubble.

One. Hundred. *At the same resolution*.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

U.S. Military’s Boat Strikes Planning Takes On New Significance

Apparently there was an actual plan, and it was "we'll try to kill them all, and then try to kill them again if they call for help."

Sorry, but that's not better than it was before you explained that you wrote down your murder plan.

98% of Gaza’s Tree Cropland Destroyed by Israel - Eos Maps based on remote sensing analysis could inform remediation efforts by identifying whether agricultural lands were damaged by bombs, debris, or forced displacement of its caretakers.

After 2 years of war, 98% of tree cropland and 75% of greenhouses in Gaza have been destroyed. Remote sensing maps tracking the progression of damage can help identify the best ways to remediate the land & rebuild Gaza’s agricultural sector. #AGU25

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

Looking for some good ole fashioned fun at home while you avoid the stores this Black Friday? Have at it!

United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is seen wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and tan shoes. He's shaking hands with someone in a black outfit.

A close up of his shoes show weird stitching on the side. They look like they're the first shoes ever made in history.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

Uranus’s Small Moons Are Dark, Red, and Water-Poor - Eos …Except for Mab, which is even weirder than expected.

🎵 One of these moons is not like the others, one of these moons just doesn’t belong… 🎵 (it’s Mab, so weird, we love her) 🧪🔭🪐

Uranus’s Small Moons Are Dark, Red, and Water-Poor - Eos …Except for Mab, which is even weirder than expected.

New observations of Uranus’s small inner moons to be presented at #AGU25 reveal that they’re darker, redder, and more water-poor than their larger counterparts. And they’re not always where they should be. 🧪🔭🪐 eos.org/articles/ura...

Well well well 😅

Azeen has this platform because women in astronomy helped her report major stories about alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct in our field, like Lawrence Krauss. This is what she has done with the platform. It haunts me. 🔭

Hey there #AstroSky! I have a cosmology question that I need a sanity check on. Can someone hop into my DMs to chat about it? 🧪🔭 Thank you!

10 Undeniable Facts About the Michael Jackson Sexual-Abuse Allegations The author, who spent more than a decade covering the scandal for V.F., shares the key revelations and insights that viewers of the new HBO documentary Leaving Neverland need to know.

Folks seem to be forgetting this so I’m here to remind you:
‘So far, five boys Michael Jackson shared beds with have accused him of abuse: Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia, Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Jimmy Safechuck. Jackson had the same nickname for Chandler and Arvizo: “Rubba.”‘

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.

I’m going to talk about what it’s like to grow up Jewish in America, but not the way you’ve probably heard. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I had an incredibly special childhood as an American Jewish kid. I grew up in Beverly Hills, surrounded by other Jewish kids.

When you say holiday but mean Christmas, you erase my holiday. I don’t need you to share them! I don’t need to have a company dreidel competition (although we should). I’m an adult now, I know I’m a minority. But don’t send me an Ugly Hanukkah Sweater and expect me to care.

Is this what freedom is like?
