This is our satellite. Bought and paid for with taxpayer dollars, appropriated for this specific mission by the elected Congress. Those who would destroy it on purpose are our enemies.

This is definitely bad news bears all the way through. My heart is so heavy.

Also the callbacks to other series are so much better in Lower Decks. Funnier, more insightful, fresh…I want to like SNW…but I just don’t? It’s heavy handed, reductive…seems to not actually understand the source material it’s so desperate to imitate.

Wait so Lower Decks canon-ified Garak/Bashir (and is funny as hell) while Strange New Worlds is spending *so many* episodes making Spock definitely totally straight (and boring)….No prizes for guessing which got canceled 😞

Text detailing how MSU isn’t accepting grad applications for astronomy on their website

Sign of the times- Michigan State, one of the biggest astronomy programs in the USA, is not accepting ANY applications for its graduate program this year 😖

🔭🧪🎢

Clear examples of the degraded forecasts we face in this piece from @michaelrlowry.bsky.social

Here's Iona from yesterday, with a clear shot of its internal structure in the current state on top, and a useless green blob in the suggested replacement on bottom.

Perhaps the bottleneck is sexism

Have you followed the first two stages of the women’s TdF? No spoilers, but great stuff so far!

This is going to hit small businesses so hard :(

A product page for a Portuguese Flannel shirt. The price is 139 Euros.

The details for the Portuguese Flannel shirt. A line says that the shirt is made in Portugal.

You now have three versions of this shirt.

— In July 2024, you paid $163.19.
— In July 2025, you paid $187.67.
— In July 2027, you paid $215.82.

The shirt hasn't changed. The store hasn't even charged more money. All of the change has been on the US side.

Oh no I’m sorry 😣

I was so happy for Wout! A+ teamwork from Visma too

Sunflower, a senior buff tabby cat, looks up and over her shoulder at the camera with a cute expression.

Beloved C4C graduate Sunflower sustained a sudden freak injury to her back late last night & was rushed to the ER. She’s on crate rest & meds for pain but she needs more diagnostics (and already had a sizeable bill from the ER). Please help out if you can ko-fi.com/kurtbrussels

Photo of a traditional Siamese cat with most of his abdomen shaved, very low and clinging to a colorful plaid blanket. He looks fearfully up at the camera.

Screenshot of text from linked instagram account that says “You may recognize this fella from when we posted him as a stray a few weeks ago. A good Samaritan found him on the side of the road in St. Albans and brought him to BEVS, where it was determined that, in attention to his facial wounds, he also had a severely fractured leg and suspected head trauma. He arrived at HSCC the next day and our med team quickly got him into surgery to amputate his leg. After a few rounds of fluids, antibiotics, and blood work, Hopscotch is now on the road to recovery and getting used to his new tri-pawd status. He still has some healing to do before he's available for adoption, and he's a pretty spicy boy - we don't know whether that's because he's under-socialized or if he just needs more time to feel safe, but we do know he'll need a calm, cat-savvy home when he's ready to find one.”

😢 A stray who was hit by a car came into the shelter a few weeks and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sponsoring him to help with medical costs - which included leg amputation. His name is Hopscotch. www.instagram.com/p/DMjGYxOP9n...

Photo of a stunning shorthaired orange tabby cat sitting up looking handsome. You can see a little thumb on one of his polydactyl paws.

Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. 💔 He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Our local animal shelter lost everything in the devastating floods here in NJ last night. Water rose up rapidly.
The staff had to swim in to save the animals. All are safe but nothing is left all is destroyed This is a link to their page if anyone wants to donate to help thank you hope4pawshs.org

You know it’s been *a day* when you find yourself lying on the floor of the baggage claim area at Logan at 3am…with no bags. Thanks, United!

It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.

I am *not* a Tadej fan for this reason (and others).

I Question America. On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass spoke in Rochester, New York at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

“On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass spoke in Rochester, New York at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It became one of Douglass’ most famous speeches: ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’”

A must read today from the incredible @sifill.bsky.social.

Jokes about ET aside, I guess we’re at the “inform on your neighbors if they’ve mildly annoyed you and we’ll haul them off to a concentration camp” stage
