Photo taken through a glass door at NASA's Johnson Space Center, looking into a lobby beneath an 'External Relations' sign. The four Artemis 2 crewmembers, in blue NASA flight suits, walk toward the camera, passing a black sign reading 'Teague Auditorium & Lobby.' NASA meatball logos are visible on the glass doors behind them.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

Thimerosal is approved by the US FDA for use as a medical preservative and remains approved for use in medical therapeutics in the United States. To this day, no study has ever indicated any harm from this thimerosal use.

First, journalists who step one foot over the line are targeted. Then scrutiny fades—and power operates in the dark. The real question isn’t “Did Don Lemon trespass?” It’s: why is the government working this hard to handcuff reporters?

Well you recently pardoned a fuck ton of insurrectionists and then hired them as part of DHS - during a hiring freeze in the federal government - that you put into place - so I’m not sure why you seem to view that term as a negative here.

This happened today. I’m conflicted working for the government considering the government just shot a mom in the face. I get it’s two different agencies & when I started it was a different administration but the fact that this anniversary coincided with this fucking awful…just…awful…god awful thing…

Elon Musk was always one of those men - for like 15 years - who I did not want to be alone with. I didn’t like him, I didn’t like his fanboys, it all made me uncomfortable and creeped me out & I couldn’t explain it. And everyone told me I was wrong or weird or whatever. Honestly…I wish I had been.

A scene from the animated show South Park features Eric Cartman whispering into another boy’s ear, who looks distressed and is crying into a bowl of chili. The distressed boy is edited to wear a red “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat, and a tweet from Donald J. Trump saying “STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!!” is superimposed above his head. The image is edited to evoke political commentary in a humorous and provocative way.

There was a Shuttle launch that I worked on console…STS-133 maybe? Anyway, Stephen Colbert was at JSC to tape a bit for his show. And after the launch I went to the building he was in. After taking a nap in the car, he showed up in an orange ACES suit. That’s me with the sunglasses on my head.

Stephen Colbert is wearing a bright orange flight suit with NASA and American flag patches walks down a hallway, holding a piece of paper. He appears to be mid-conversation or turning to speak. Two women stand by a doorway on the left, smiling, while a child and another person are visible in the background further down the hall. The setting looks like an office or lab area with framed photos on the wall.

I was at the Guadalupe River when flash floods hit in 2007. We were on an island in the river when it started to rise. We’re both experienced swimmers/Scuba divers. The water came up so fast…it was terrifying. Here’s some video; we were stranded for a couple days but thankfully everyone was ok.

@lastweektonight.com I just watched the episode about Elon Musk’s latest rocket explosion. John said it was an “unmanned” mission- & that’s true! This may seem trivial, but the Trump admin hasn’t fired all of the women at NASA yet. May I suggest “uncrewed” instead? It’s what we say at work. ❤️ y’all!

A mother raccoon and her 4 babies showed up in our neighborhood and everyone started feeding them. Now if we’re sitting outside, they will sneak up on us and tap us on the shoulder like “Hey! I’m here! Time for dinner!” It’s absolutely adorable. 🦝

A group of five raccoons gathered on a concrete patio at night, partially illuminated by artificial lighting. The raccoons are closely grouped near metal furniture legs, with one raccoon in the foreground slightly blurred as it walks out of frame.
