We are sending kids to school without requiring masks during a massive surge of a virus that has a very good chance of severely disabling them in the future. This is madness. #CovidIsntOver #COVID

Trump boasts he could bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours. Please. This guy couldn't build a wall along the border in four years. And infrastructure week? Never happened. That took Biden to get done.

This is an #exoplanet (β pic b) orbiting its host #star.

The #planet is directly observed over 17 years by various instruments with different size of coronographs (the black disk in the #instrument occulting the star).

From 2004 to 2010 and from 2016 to 2018, the planet is too close to the star such as it is also behind the #coronograph.

β pic b is a young (12Myr) massive planet (~10Mjup) with period of ~20 yr 🪐

We have the first calibration images from ESA’s Euclid! Take a look, and find out why this observatory might give us fewer splashy images than JWST (but is incredibly important.)

These were just posted of the walrus calf that was rescued up on the North Slope in Alaska and is now in the caring hands of the SeaLife Center in Seward, AK. Photos by Chilly Dawgs. The calf is still having some issues with nutrition absorption, but he pooped last night after a 12-hour span without one, so that's good news!

An animated Frederick Douglass, saying that slavery was a "compromise" for the benefit of the US. That's what the Republican Party is forcing kids to watch in public schools.

I try to let people come to their own conclusions, but I've fucking had it. If you say you're not going to vote because "both parties are the same," then you should be treated like the fucking despicable scumbag you are.

Justice Elena Kagan must be rolling her eyes so hard right now. She once told her friends not to send her free bagels and lox because she'd have to report the gift.

Meanwhile, Clarence Thomas is a one-man pay-to-play shop for billionaires with private jets and luxury vacas.

Found this baby this morning. Took it to the vet to get checked out. It’s a boy, 5-8 weeks old, has fleas and an upper respiratory infection. I am paying to have it treated and nursed back to health.

Given that I am deathly allergic to cats, we cannot keep him. He will be boarded until we can place him.

If you or someone you know is looking for a new kitty, I am willing to drive up to 6-8 hours to deliver him to a good home or rescue. Please boost for exposure.

Growing up Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher told us that capitalism went hand in hand with freedom and democracy.

Today we can see that capitalists can quite comfortably walk hand in hand with authoritarianism and fascism to maintain and consolidate their wealth and power.

Whenever my husband does that thing where he can't remember a word and he looks to me for help I always suggest "potato" or "vagina". It's the cornerstone of our marriage.

President Biden gets the endorsement of a Major Gun safety group.

tonight’s pineapple wants you to remember that soft, fluffy things are good actually, and it’s okay for you to be soft and fluffy too

the world has enough rough spots and hard edges, we could all use a little more softness 💜🍍🩷

Being offended or angry at the Latin prefix "cis" is like being offended by the Latin prefix "pre", "semi", "tri" or "uni".

It ridiculous.

Lady Olynder fully assembled.

Let me tell you. The right ghost went on like a dream - the LEFT ghost is the hardest part I have ever glued together. Not since I was a kid have I had such trouble with glue

But the end result is glorious. On to the base

Don't worry she eventually sat properly to eat like a lady
