Except they did accidentally hit it, as this article and one on CNN explained. www.cnn.com/2026/08/04/s...
Space experts said the impact was unintentional. Instead of being sent into orbit around the sun after completing its mission, the rocket's upper stage was left on a trajectory that eventually intersected with the moon.From CNN article:

Ispace and Blue Ghost missions' second stage, and what has happened is essentially a mixture of solar activity and gravity forces have put it on a path towards the moon."

Independent astronomers used publicly available data to track the Falcon 9 upper stage and determine that it was on a collision course with the moon, according to NASA. The agency's Center for Near Earth Object Studies, which tracks the orbits of space rocks that could crash into Earth, and very occasionally the moon, also confirmed the impact trajectory of the upper stage.

Un/fortunately the five years ago part isn't true. 31% of dems responded the same in 2021. These people suck about the same they did then Scroll all the way to the bottom for the table in the 2021 survey PDF link: news.gallup.com/file/poll/35...
Gallop poll, May of 2021. A table showing that for Democrats, 67% find changing one's gender morally acceptable while 31% find it morally wrong.

Once I realized that the Democrats it was speaking about or simply those who voted for Trump in 2024 this chart below made a lot more sense as to their favorable views of people like Bush, Ben Shapiro, and Candice Owens.
A chart showing how favorably a respondent views a particular person. Because the Manhattan Institute was only looking at Republicans or anybody else who voted for Trump in 2024 the numbers are not as one would expect for certain individuals on first glance. When the chart states 'Democrats' as the respondents it means Democrats who voted for Trump in 2024. For instance among the Democrats who voted for Trump in 2024 their favorability for George W Bush, Ben Shapiro, and Candace Owens is  +22 +13, and +1 respectively. This wouldn't make sense for the general population of Democrats but certainly would make more sense for the population of self-identified Democrats who voted for Trump in 2024.

The crosstab data makes it clearer. The 500 additional voters are mostly independents but some democrats; but as the first image shows, they had to have voted for Trump in 2024. First image also shows that republicans incl. the relative few who didn't vote for Trump.
A crosstabs spreadsheet showing the number of people who participated in the survey broken down by 2024 presidential vote. Those identifying as Democrat but voted for Trump are 71 out of the over 2,200 respondents to the survey. It then leaves blank the columns for votes for Kamala Harris, someone else, and 'did not vote' . This shows that those were not used in the survey. The same is shown for Independence where a total of 403 voted for Donald Trump participated in the survey. The Republican row on the other hand shows votes for Donald Trump as well as, Harris, someone else, and 'did not vote'. A cross type spreadsheet showing how Democrats who voted for Trump responded to questions about the spiritual theories. This is being shown to reinforce that there's only 71 Democrats participating in the survey because they voted for Trump. The various responses to each question add up to 71. For instance, when asked whether or not the 2020 presidential election was decided by fraudulent ballots or hacked voting machines 26% (or 18) democrats who voted for Trump said it was definitely true. 25% said probably true, 17% said probably false, 27% said definitely false, and 5% were not sure.

Gavin Newsom being "culturally normal"
Gavin Newsom sitting at a table with an empty plate and a stack of unopened, uncreased books. Holding open a copy of 'Beloved' pretending to read it while attempting to show off his forearm with his rolled up sleeve. Gavin Newsome with his then partner Kimberly Guilfoyle laying on a rug in an opulent, gauche room staring at the camera while I'm embracing each other and interlacing their fingers. With a look on their face that says "We're glad you could join us in the boudoir"Gavin Newsom tearing up a tent in an homeless encampment. He seems to be purposely flexing his meager arm and gritting his teeth like he's putting in a lot of effort to fuck over other people and do nothing to improve their situation

No the long-horizon strategy is a large coalition. You can't have that through capitulation/or abandonment. You will lose the group you're abandoning, the people who care about them, the next group in line to be abandoned, and anyone who takes exception to value/rights agnostic politicking
Skeet by @talleststone.bsky.social

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can't protect ANY groups if we can't win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That's not "erasing" them; it's long-horizon strategy.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social 

I am not blaming Democrats for Republicans becoming fascists. I am blaming people who overused "fascist" for years for removing the power of that word and gutting it of meaning, and making it useless now that We need it. Something I warned would happen.

Copious amounts of bad takes from Dem men. Shouldn't hold sexual predators to the oh-so-high standard of not being one; but also using fears of sexual predation to throw transfolk under the bus and blame them for election losses (false). Long way from Trump's pussy grabbing tape, that's for sure

New copypasta just dropped
A screenshot of the same tweet but with the words 'The Claremont Institute' replaced with 'The Cat Butt Pic Forum' or CBPF, for short. Reads as follows: 

Let me be clear to members of the press: the media's dishonest treatment of The Cat Butt Pic Forum, its scholars, and its fellows, will end. 
You will engage with the CBPF in good faith privately or we will engage with you publicly and expose your unprofessionalism.
I was brought in to the CBPF under a mandate from its President to organize the defense of this institution's reputation to the media. And I take his charge seriously. 
The CBPF wishes to pursue its work and mission in peace, but if you disturb this peace, we will not cower. You will have war. 😾

Not to fully undermine your point because I agree that they aren't a trustworthy group but in this case it sounds like they did their job. They were checking/clearing an area before Trump got there and found the danger before he was in any.

It's a deceiving shot but not an uncommon one. People are using telephoto lenses on DSLRs to achieve this effect. Typically from Kenneth Hahn Park

They even had to add an editors note because so many people are misconstruing the intent of the study. But even before that note it's clearly stated and acknowledged that these conspiracies around race aren't without historical merit.
Screenshot of the editors note added to the article:

Editor’s note: This report is under revision. We used the words “racial conspiracy theories” as a shorthand and acknowledge that was not the best choice. 

Black Americans’ doubts about the fairness of U.S. institutions are accompanied by suspicion. How Black Americans think those institutions impact their ability to thrive is worthy of study, and that’s the purpose of this survey.Excerpt from the article:

While psychologists say belief in conspiracy theories is often linked to paranoia or other mental health issues, the racial conspiracies that Black people believe are rooted in factual acts of intentional or negligent harm.

Well-documented examples include the surveillance of political leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., malpractice in medical research in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the massacre of Black people and destruction of their communities in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921.

These historic events (and others described in later chapters of this report) provide the context for some Black Americans’ belief in racial conspiracy theories.
