Idk who needs to hear this but you should vote EARLY if you have that option where you live. Do not wait for Election Day. This is an A+ list of voting tips from @lwv.org. It is time to lock in

🧪Anti-vaxx is a modern luxury belief held by people who grew up in a society that worked to make everyone safe by collective vaccination.

What is the IceCube neutrino observatory? Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact, but can create flashes of light when they do. Most neutrino detectors are giant water tanks surrounded by light detectors. IceCube is kilometer-long strings of detectors embedded in the Antarctic ice.

The lake surface got still on the morning of 8/14, perfect for making a star trail image with reflections! The bright trails on the right are the Pleiades and Hyades, center trails from Perseus. The patch of short streaks are satellites glinting earthshine. There are a few meteors. #astrophotography

This looks like a diagram Luke Skywalker used to hit the exhaust port

When we unite & work together, we win! This November, we can elect @ginafortexas.bsky.social as Governor, we can send @jamestalarico.bsky.social to the Senate, & we can elect Dems up & down the ballot! It was an honor to speak at @democrats DNC meeting today. Let’s go! #txlege

Sunday Funday

I've written about soccer and #MNUFC for years. I've been truly blessed by the amount of support I've received in the past from all of you. Today, I'm taking a frightening step, and going out on my own.

As called on La 1 in Spain:

I’m driving the 750-mile stretch from El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley and holding town halls along the way. We’re showing up for border communities that have been left behind by both political parties for too long. Join us on the frontera: www.mobilize.us/talaricofort...

Motion: 12 hour moratorium on doomering over Balo's suspension

The USMNT has won a third game at a World Cup, a thing they have never done before

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

The home field thing matters a lot, but this the first time the USMNT has won two games in the group since 1930 and the first time we've reached six points in the group (wins were 2 points in 1930).

There is a lot of “Paraguay isn’t very good” talk. Full stop. Under Alfaro, they lost just once in WCQ and went 9 straight without defeat. They beat URG, Brazil, & Argentina. They were one of the best defensive teams in the 🌎. Paraguay isn’t bad. #USMNT made them look bad.

I'm considering adding a daily game to Whereabouts (NOT to replace the learning focus). If you're interested in play testing a daily game (think Wordle but for geography) DM me or email trey@whereabouts.earth. I'd love feedback from others before I settle on the exact shape.

Today, I saw this 1775 document: a letter directing the people of Massachusetts to make 13,000 coats for the colony's soldiers. This copy was for Stoughtonham [Sharon]. The archivists @bpl.boston.gov helped me check under the cloth sample to see if the walnut brown color had faded. It had not!

For everyone wondering when the lunar flyby will be and how you can follow along, it looks like NASA will have live coverage starting at 1 pm ET Monday on YouTube/NASA+

Took me a while to track it down but for all the camera nerds asking the same question I did - high res version complete with EXIF data is here: images.nasa.gov/details/art0... It was taken with a Nikon D5 with 14-24mm f2.8 lens, 1/4 sec at f4, ISO 51200

I love it when I get to draw space stuff. #ArtemisII #NASA @houstonchronicle.com

With the price of hardware everywhere going up, we've had a long hard think about the future. So, we're going to rebrand and refocus to enable us to continue to exist past the end of 2026. Announcing our new name: GamingOnPenAndPaper

Maybe the first ever documented evidence of a Bronco bailing out a Land Cruiser.

My children are writing video game reviews again for @crossplayblog.bsky.social. This time, it's Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Switch 2—a very, very good upgrade for families! www.crossplay.news/p/super-mari...

why do things like this never happen to me

I need you to all understand this is the curling equivalent of a benches clearing brawl with even the goalies fighting at center ice. Truly have never seen either one of these guys so mad before.

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me! It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

For Liam.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I don’t have anything funny or witty to offer as a balm for what we’re currently living through. But, what I do want you to know is that there is a human behind this account and humans behind this brand that are hurting with you. Sending hugs across the internet to everyone who needs one. 💜

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

I am a tire carrier competing in the Rolex 24 at Daytona and I’m taking you behind the scenes with me today. Join me as I share my view of working on the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 in the GTD Pro class.

Hi guys! I have some exciting news this morning: I’ve joined @theguardian.com as a soccer reporter ahead of this year’s World Cup. I cannot wait to get back to work writing stories for you, and I hope you’ll continue to read them. Let’s go. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Here's Jim's original memo from 1986:

Three humpback whales near our ship in Paradise Bay, Antarctica. One of them spouts a rainbow.

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

Today's pies included (clockwise from top left) persimmon & sweet potato, pecan, mincemeat, and lemon sponge.

Put a fork in it.

I am so torn between wanting to share this with no context so that the reader can have the full experience of developing a relationship with each of the parties in the discussion to this PR, and with knowing that the full impact of what is happening here might evade many without more explanation
