I was picking up a gift for a kid’s birthday and parked in the in-car pickup spot. While I waited the person from the car in the next spot over came out with a large shopping cart full of stuff they’d bought.

I’m looking into the Donut Labs solid state battery that everyone keeps sending me. I would love to talk about it on my channel, but I can’t verify ANYTHING. It’s splashy, but SO SKETCHY.

Amazing earthshine tonight!! The moon looks dimly lit from the “back”! This happens because the Earth’s albedo (measure of reflection)! We reflect light from the sun onto the side of the moon that is facing us! We call it earthshine!
That illumination makes it feel like a pretty bauble in the sky!

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

I SAW 4 GEMINID METEORS FROM A BACKYARD IN BRAZIL AND STARS THAT ARENT VISIBLE FROM THE NORTH. ORION WAS UPSIDE-DOWN. HIS ‘FUZZY NUTS’ AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM WERE UP THE AIR LIKE A SCOTSMAN AT A STAG NIGHT. VISIT BRAZIL AND LOOK AT STARS THEY’RE ÓTIMO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

This is why AI girlfriends (and boyfriends) are not a “healthy alternative” to a human relationship. It’s a real relationship, yes, but with a robot. The AI will never tell you off bc it had a stressful day, will never disagree with your opinion because of beliefs / experiences… It’s. Not. Real.
