My favorite ending of a Simpsons episode.

This is not the news I wanted to read today. It is clear that the uncontrolled outbreak in the DRC is not tenable and we will continue to see imported cases outside of the DRC. Kenya and now Nigeria. This is a regional/ global emergency. www.wsls.com/health/2026/...

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

Have you ever heard of Gabriel's Horn? It's a mathematical shape, a deceptively simple "solid of revolution" that will melt your brain. It's also one of my very favorite things of all time. Oh my yes, you'll love this: badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-geometri... 🧪

You gotta give it up to Earth Wind & Fire for not even bothering to add a Water guy. They were just like it’s fine

Here's one of the ten Marvel Comics variant covers coming out next month to celebrate The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary. This one's for Fantastic Four #17, drawn by Giuseppe Camuncoli...

I feel like I’m living In a dystopian novel written in 1993 that was rejected by dozens of publishers because it was incredibly stupid.

The most damaging political idea I've seen in my lifetime is the idea that government should be run like a business

Good night, Bluesky.

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.

DO IT Seriously. DO IT. Trump and Vought are actively and viciously trying to turn US science into what it was in 1950s USSR. DO IT

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

Again: RFK is an utter crackpot. Just brains leaking out his ears.

This was suspected and now epidemiological investigation points to the Ebola outbreak having silently spread for at least four months before it was formally identified. There have been 1500 confirmed deaths but the real number is likely a lot higher. www.science.org/content/arti...

“No odyssey spoilers!” Brother it’s been three thousand years

The Odyssey portrays a very historically accurate dating app queue of 108 slimy men trying to match with one woman who doesn’t even want a profile

📹| In a funny incident, two people tried to enter a movie theater screening [The Odyssey] without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse in a comedic reenactment of the famous story.

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

Every photo of Louis Pasteur looks like he's had enough of your bullshit, and I can't blame him.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Ebola is that it is primarily a hemorrhagic disease. It isn't. In the current Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the DRC, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea dominate at presentation, while bleeding occurs in only ~10% of patients. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game. You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵 #WorldCup #Football #Soccer #RG3 #Love #sports #RGIII #RobertGriffinIII #Japan #Discipline

Goooooood evening and happy Sunday! The out of pocket cost of the birth of my son, after “good” insurance, after meeting my deductible (despite a wicked pregnancy, everyone was healthy) was OVER TEN THOUSAND US DOLLARS. And then I went back to work still bleeding. So I don’t think it’s the phones.

"Seeing the huge anti-racism crowds in Glasgow and Belfast was genuinely heart-warming. Thousands of people came together to stand up for their neighbours, their communities, and basic human decency. No cars burned. No homes attacked. No businesses smashed up ..." via HandsomeCrocodile8127

Same

Space is uninhabitable. The Moon is uninhabitable. Mars is uninhabitable. Where do people think we’re going when Earth’s ecosystems collapse? Why do people think they’ll be evacuated even if there is somewhere to go? Why do rich people think wealth matters on a dead planet? W.T.F? 🌏
