To commemorate the collaboration between Pokémon and the ESA, a special Pikachu plush was sent to the International Space Station from April 11th through June 17th What a picture. Absolutely stunning

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

just to be clear i have no problem with them continuing the long history of crossovers and merch and whatnot, it's just that jack in the box is probably my least favorite fast food chain, it just tates... not great. even spanish kfc clears it by miles

in spain they did a crossover for "El misterioso viaje de Homer" at KFC, didn't try the donut burger but the guatamalan insanity pepper cheese bites were really good. i think my biggest disappointment about jack in the box is the food quality, but i definitely want a cup

betteridge's law of headlines wikipedia screenshot, reads:
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

Rank and file Republicans are turning against LGBT acceptance and GOP politicians are leaning into bigotry in both rhetoric and policy. But it is you, the progressive queer or ally, who needs to open your mind and consider other people's feelings. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...
Most of the recent changes in LGBTQ+ attitudes have occurred among Republicans. For example, in 2021 and 2022, 55% of Republicans said they favored legal same-sex marriage, but today, the figure is 37%. Among independents, support has dropped six points, to 67%, while Democrats’ views are the same as in 2022 (87% in favor).

there's an actual nuanced conversation to be had about deep space debris as we head towards a future with potential permanent lunar human presence but instead we gotta deal with "knocking the moon out of the sky" or people worried about a crater they couldn't identify if they tried

Star 🏳️‍⚧️ @scistar.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
and you know what that rocket stage delivered? a lunar lander! it worked for two weeks and then shut off. guess what it's up to these days? that's right, still just sitting there on the lunar surface. arguably worse than an impact crater indistinguishable from the several the moon gets daily!
selfie of shadow and earth captured by the firefly aerospace blue ghost mission 1. no shade to the artemis 2 crew but frankly some of my favorite 21st century lunar views. truly a great lander that is now just derelict.

it's not something one could even intentionally do, the stage went through the lagrange points, famously unstable gravitational regimes we cannot predict with great certainty over time and this one was dancing around for over a year uncontrolled. genuinely unknowable this would happen

rocket stages have been hitting the moon for over 65 years now why is this one news it's over 10x smaller than what nasa used to intentionally piledrive yeah look i want him gone too but this is normal space activity he was probably too drugged out to know was happening

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

panel 1 shows a guy holding my streak and says "it's time to face the facts. i'm really into duolingo"
panel 2 someone responds "but AI's so obnoxious"
panels 3 and 4 are the classic "you don't think i know that? YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT?" response which summarizes my decade of watching the app enshittify itself
