The average Evangelical already doesn't think Catholicism is Christianity, so I'm not sure how much "less ecumenical" we could get.

Southern California folks! Artemis II will splash down off the coast of San Diego a little after 5pm PT tonight. There may be a sonic boom as the spacecraft enters Earth’s atmosphere.

If you experience shaking, rattling windows, etc. you can report it here:

I do not think CEQA covers this particular impact. www.pressdemocrat.com/2026/04/09/cloverdale-residents-demand-full-environmental-review-of-proposed-mega-development/

I know we’ve come to expect this kind of language from everyone in this admin, but hearing it from an ASACW will never not be jarring.

For so many people in STEM public service fields, this work is more than a job or career, it’s a vocation. The joy we’re witnessing from the Artemis astronauts is a beautiful and spectacular example of what a blessing it can be to do good work, and to do it well.

Re: the admin moving to shut down the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program: without it, we’ll have a much harder time understanding how our ecosystems (which we are a part of) respond to these kinds of changes.

First Ballot Hall of Famer Rick Steves did two fantastic episodes of his show from Iran where you don't just see the beauty of an ancient, historic civilization, but plenty of young folks blasting heaters like in the OP's video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYoa9hI3CXg

Just realized that it’s extremely possible my dad met now-Artemis pilot Victor Glover when he was an F/A-18 pilot with VMFAT-101 (MCAS Miramar) and VFA-34 (NAS Oceana)… oh man. 🥹

Oh no. NSF Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program shuttered.

This one leaves me winded. A good story from 2025 by @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social offers insight into what we are losing: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/climate-lab/trump-wants-to-cut-research-centers-like-the-one-in-this-pnw-forest/

The US AID destruction is one of the sickest things anyone has ever done in human history.

No one got anything out of it besides the gleeful thrill of mass black death. It’s truly bone chilling to even contemplate what this really was.

Former MLB player Brad Lidge, who threw the final pitch to win the Philadelphia Phillies the 2008 World Series, is now an archaeologist researching the Etruscan civilization. He is joining the Penn Museum Board of Advisors, calling it a “full-circle moment.”

The tech industry props up the richest people on the planet and pays far less than its fair share of taxes. It can absolutely afford its own R&D. But instead, it’s effectively hijacked our public science infrastructure because having more wealth than anyone could ever spend is still not enough.

Cool: "In Point Reyes, a National Park Service scientist has made an incredibly rare find."

Michael Reichmuth "photographed a group of newly hatched California giant salamanders in the wild for the first time."
