THURSDAY IS GOING TO INSANE.

[Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves]

can’t spell playoffs without AYO.

[etspaceman @etspaceman89]

All the talk about how Jaden McDaniels scored when the game of over. And yet one play prior, with the shotclock off, Murray sprints down the court to chuck a 3.

Dribble the clock out yourself if you're so offended by it.

Sorry I couldn’t read this because a heating pack Jamal Murray threw almost hit me in the face

[Jim Petersen @JimPeteHoops]

If you are going to intentionally foul not once but twice down 12 with 33 seconds...and shoot a 3 with 10.4 seconds (Murray could have dribbled the clock out)...you shouldn't be complaining about a layup at the end of the game. I'm just saying.

[Lindsey Young @LindseyMNSports]

Made this for my dad so figured I’d post it! 😆

Schedule for the @Timberwolves and @mnwild first round of the playoffs, plus the #NFLDraft. Starred events will be available on network TV.

[Kevin Garnett @KevinGarnett5KG]

Eff it! Go get Finals MVP then @anthonyedwards 😤😤😤

[Alexis Pereira @MrAlexisPereira]

Mamdani: if you have a house in NYC that you don’t live in that is worth over $5 million, you have to pay an extra tax on it

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance

Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors

MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

[Luke Leisher @luke_leisher_]

I think NASA should have an unlimited budget to do whatever they want.

[Covie @covie_93]

Mind you, Barack Obama got Iran to give up far more and America sacrificed way less.

Piker: Every single dollar that is spent on a bomb is stolen from each of you because that’s a dollar that they spend blowing up a school overseas instead of building schools in your neighborhood.

[Harrison H. Smith ✞ @HarrisonHSmith]

“I’m going to bomb a school!!”

“WTF is wrong with you? Don’t do that, it’s fucking evil.”

“Well I’ve decided not to bomb the school. I bet you feel stupid now, idiot!”

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

This is probably the most incredible baseball photo I've ever seen.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime.

The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood.

The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old.

The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose.

And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled.

The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around.

Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

"We can't take care of sick people or kids because we'd rather use the money on war" is a hell of a midterms pitch
