Whenever the right hears about protests the first thing they say is “they bussed all of those people in.” Of course we took public transit. Bringing my car to a protest and trying to find parking is room temp IQ bullshit.

This meeting should have been a duel.

I’m not sure how commonly known this combo tip is for US travelers in Europe, but:

1) Use a Visa/MC that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees if possible (most travel-oriented CCs have this benefit)

2) If offered by the terminal or ATM, NEVER accept the transaction in USD. Charge it in Euros. This is often phrased as “reject conversion” and sounds scary but it will save you money by letting your bank determine the exchange rate (in your favor) instead of the merchant choosing in its favor.

A pod of dolphins were at hand to welcome our intrepid space travelers.

Them dolphins understand space and space travel better than most humans, don't they? 😉 🐬

If St Patrick sees his shadow today, it’s six more weeks of snakes

“The Gorge” follows the same plot formula as “Love is Blind.” In this essay, I will

This is one of those mindset changing kind of things if you can really sit with it because it's NOT necessarily the case that research is slow and things can actually do rapid flips when you have a totally different capacity and category changed by an innovation

@infobeautiful This guy is incredible at multitasking. Filming the whole time while he lights a firecracker, throws a pot on it, and runs? Incredible. I would have hurt myself in so many ways

Missed Thursday's total lunar eclipse? No problem, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost mission has you covered. The lander took a quick break from its science operations on the Moon to capture this stunning image of a lunar eclipse. From our perspective, we see the Earth's shadow fall on the Moon, eventually turning it red when the light from the world's sunsets falls upon it simultaneously. But from the Moon, it's the Sun that disappears behind the Earth.

The easiest way to tell the difference between an alpaca and a llama is to look at the ears. Alpacas have fox ears, llamas have banana ears.

I really didn't need to feel this seen.

@Cirelo I’m so sorry for your loss. My dog passed away unexpectedly last summer and I got a memorial tattoo for him. Now he’s always with me and will be forever, so I support getting one!
