I know Earthrise is cool and all, but I think this may be the best photo ever taken.

Live look-in at the SpaceX moon factory:

$SPCX - SPACEX PLANS MOON FACTORIES POWERED BY HUMANOID ROBOTS

Everything about this is stupid and awful and there is no way to argue with this fucking garbage.

Day 120: Quiet and cool, spent time with my little stinky pal, and then it was time for the holiest of rituals: Taco Tuesday. I didn't get a picture of tacos because I was distracted by the bucket of booze that somehow only cost eight bucks. What a time to be alive.

honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate

Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:

Well not with THAT attitude.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Day 119: Had a quiet day, read a bit, talked with some friends, and spent time with my little stinky pal. Well, not that stinky, since he got a wash yesterday. Had a lovely dinner, and now it's time to watch a show!

The future of the Republican Party is, somehow, scarier than the present.

"Debates over World War II became popular at Heritage, with a lot of “rehashing and going through who was the bad guy and who were the good guys,”" Also, sounds like a lot of anti-Semitism at the Heritage Foundation. Maybe Trump's task force on anti-Semitism could look into this!

It sure would be nice to have a President who didn't completely despise America.

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

I think I'd rather listen to the doctor than the guy who gets hit in the head for a living.

It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.

Today in things that 100% did not happen.

"There'd be nothing left" -- Trump says that the attack he had planned for Iran last night would've destroyed the country

I do not like the fact that I currently consider the Iranian government's statements more trustworthy than my own's.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

How'd they find the one lady with shaved armpits for the photograph? (Also fuck the Grateful Dead into the center of the Earth.)

How long will the Grateful Dead's songs survive?

The Grateful Dead endured an original run of 30 years, but its appeal has survived just as long in a world where the band no longer exists. The question now is not whether the music will continue, but...

Replace "boxing" with "MMA" and tell me how this couldn't apply to America today.

Aug. 3, 1926: Italy’s Mussolini makes a decree to gradually eliminate all public demonstrations “of an intellectual, sporting or charitable charter” unless held under the aegis of the Fascist Party. Boxing and soccer associations are also being reorganized to strengthen Fascist ties.

There are living people who remember seeing Babe Ruth play baseball. What the fuck are we doing here.

Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d ago

just woke up to the Jays are buying at the deadline and Pete Crow-Armstrong thinks Babe Ruth was made-up

So they're now crowdsourcing operations? Oh, fuckin' GREAT.

YES. Stop acting like every executive action is fuckin' Hammurabi's Code.

“tax immunity” isn’t a thing, blanche and the DOJ and IRS can refuse to investigate or prosecute it but future administrations will not be bound by this

I don't know how you can see this photograph and not react with revulsion and contempt.

If your elderly parent were going on like this you would be looking at memory care options before your morning coffee break.

Dear Lord I love my wife.

This is an amazing photo if you like old sailing ships. This is the USS Monongahela in the early 20th century. Stunsls aloft and alow, Just the main foremast staysl set in the prow (jibs don't do much for you when the wind is entirely abaft), and no bow wave at all. Not even a breath of wind.

Day 118: Had a fabulous time at the Angels-Brewers game last night (Brewers won and of course we sang "Roll Out the Barrel" during the stretch), got home, and gave the little dog a bath--which he hates, but too bad, because he's still adorable looking like a drowned rat.

Shit, he probably got a promotion after that.

The knots antisemites will tie themselves into are astonishing.

I will say, while we've often seen the far-right infosphere bleed into the far-left infosphere (TYT, Jimmy Dore, etc) this is the first time I think we've seen them actually fully unify on an issue. Fascists and communists are agreeing that the Jews are herding Africans to invade Europe.

If you are FaceTiming on the train I should be able to throw you out of the goddamn window.

This was a plot point in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"
