Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Goodnews@goodnews.computer · 6d agoTake a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
Today’s Italy update: we went in a church and there was a big inflatable bug

I love how the process of trying to get help for ADHD is designed in such a way that it will drive a person with ADHD completely insane
I'd love for politics to be like "yeh, I'd like my tax dollars to prioritize new sustainable development, but we can debate using it for updating existing infrastructure" and the like, rather than "breaking news: worst man ever in charge commits another atrocity" five times a day.
I would like to live in a world where I can know and care about politics *sometimes*. like yeah "I wish I didn't ever hear about politics" is kind of irresponsible and how we get in these pickles to begin with but I would like to hear about it less than several times every day thank you
Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
Ancient little guys of the day! These prehistoric baby bottles in the shape of little creatures were found were found in Bronze and Iron Age graves in Vösendorf (Austria). Actually, a study was conducted on these bottles around 2019 and they found traces of ruminant milk!
This is not a new observation, but whenever a politician is spouting some heinous fucking garbage directed at a minority group, it should trigger an immediate analysis of their finances because it's probably cover for some kind of fraud.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 2w agoA Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children.

most americans are probably not tracking this story, but fyi the cultural temperature up here around this issue is still best described as “seething” and “intense”
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3w agoBREAKING: The U.S. is imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products after last-ditch negotiations failed. Canada promises to match the tax.
Also, I know way more people whose parents kicked them out of the house for being gay or not religious or smoking a joint or what-the-fuck-ever than people who cut off their parents for being horrible. Lets see some articles about that for once. Respectful, loving, parents don't get cut off.
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you Hi, I'm the 2.5th storey roof you fell off of and now you owe a life debt to the neighbour's giant overgrown viney plant that cushioned the top of the fence.
Diane Duane@diane.dianeduane.com · 4w agoHi! I'm a baby cluelessly left out in a suburban back yard who acquired so many mosquito bites that she went into (anaphylactic?) shock and had to go to the hospital. (EYEROLL) ...Seriously, if I'd discorporated from that, I'd have gone STRAIGHT to Customer Service. (I mean... *WTF.*) 🤨
If Internet ads were like ads in magazines -- they didn't track you, didn't run arbitrary malware on your computer, didn't do annoying video autoplay and cover up the thing you're trying to read -- nobody would use an ad-blocker. If sites don't want us using them, they do have a choice.
En Sabah Neurodivergent @spearhafoc.bsky.social · 4w ago"We see that you're using an ad blocker" Yeah, it's because of all the ads on your website.
