This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings.

Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top.

Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them.

Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Your aperiodic reminder that Mercury has a weirdly HUGE core for reasons we do not yet understand.

It's less a planet and more a molten ball bearing wrapped in a thin blanket of rock.

I also advocate for due process for Abrego Garcia.
I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

After 58 days on strike, Alamo Drafthouse workers in NYC have won big.

The strike began when management suddenly fired 70 workers, and now every single laid off worker will get their job back thanks to the union power of @nycalamounited.bsky.social.

Strikes work.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

COLLINS: “AP says you banned them because they won’t call it ‘Gulf of America’ — does this mean Trump will retaliate against reporters who don’t use language you want them to, and how does this align with your first amendment commitment?”

Beyond parody. Also, chilling.
