The numbers tell the story.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

We just had a pretty respectable Earthquake here in Southern California. Initial measure reported at 4.5.

6 km N of Fontana, California

Wow. Even we're getting a Tsunami Watch for the California coastline from the 8.7 quake in Russia. It looks like the whole Pacific rim is potentially at risk.

WANNA SEE MARS?

Just after sunset tonight, Mars will appear to be very close to the Moon, which will make it very easy to find.
Once you see Mars, and it's unique Red color, it will be much easier for you to spot it for the rest of your life.

A SpaceX booster was just launched and recovered a few minutes ago.

This was the 500th flight of a Falcon rocket, and the booster used, the SpaceX fleet leader, completed it's 29th flight to space, and safe return.

A mind-blowing accomplishment, demonstrating SpaceX has mastered hardware reuse.

Your Pope name is: Last thing you ate + number of letters in your first name.

Pope Gabapentin IX

I don't know if taking medication is considered "eating", but this technically was the last thing I swallowed. Besides, this seems like a much better papal name than "Lasagna IX".

I never expected I'd live long enough to see the end of the United States. We are well past politics at this point. Enough Americans voted to squash the rule of law, and elected a criminal and con man to be our President. The actions Trump and Musk are pursuing will be the end of us.

This is what corruption looks like.

If you get a chance to watch video of the SpaceX Dragon capsule splashdown and recovery, keep an eye out for the large pod of dolphins that swam over to check out what all the humans were doing. They were so curious about everything going on. Such cute and intelligent creatures.

For folks that deal with people in the United States. We just did our silly Daylight Savings Time "Fall Back" routine, so we've lost an hour (and so much more lately).

Wonderful cartoon by Jesse Duquette.

Elon Musk will do to the US government exactly what he did at Twitter. "Move fast and break things" isn't a method to improve efficiency. It's clear his mission is to dismantle our Constitutional Republic, cement Trump as a dictator, raid the Treasury, and then kill Social Security and Medicare.

From now through mid-February, the other 4 planets visible to the naked eye will line up close to each other from our perspective. If it's clear, I think it's worth a look. Especially if you have kids. Enjoy! 👀🐨

Who is your celebrity “birthday twin” (born on the same day as you)? pics or gifs.

Google search was once great. It has lost much of what made it great over the years. Last week, I switched to using DuckDuckGo, and it has impressed me. It's fast, and shows better results first (like Google used to do).
I recommend testing it out.

Wisdom from his many years.

Wow!
Per a November 2024 statement by the CEO, Bluesky currently has around 20 full-time employees.
