@romcomarchive I just love the simultaneous “you are NOT tom hanks!” It was the appropriate energy there 😂

The Season 1 finale of The Good Place (2016) is one of the all-time great sitcom twists. Watching Eleanor slowly piece it together while everything suddenly clicks into place was such a ridiculous rush the first time through.

BREAKING : 🇺🇸 NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called out Trump for spending billions to kill people in 🇮🇷 Iran

Journalist — Are you against Iran War?

Mamdani — We are talking about a war that killed thousands of civilians, so yes I am dead against it 🔥

Journalist — Does it frustrate you seeing $900 million a day getting wasted on such wars?

Mamdani — We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people, that money could have been used to make life easier for our people

“We always seem to have money for war, but not to feed the poor” 🔥

Finally a sane voice from within the United States, we need more such people at the top who can lead the world towards peace. Respect 🫡

we sent EXACTLY the right people up there 😭

Christina Koch was a firefighter at the South Pole at -111°F before she ever applied to be an astronaut. That was maybe the fourth most interesting line on her resume. She grew up in North Carolina, got three degrees from NC State, and her first real job was building deep-space instruments at NASA.

Then she left for Antarctica. Spent three and a half years bouncing between the Arctic and Antarctic as a research scientist, including a full winter at the South Pole base. That means going months without sunlight or fresh food, with a crew of about 50 people and no way out until flights resume. While she was down there, she also joined the glacier search-and-rescue team.

After coming back, she went to Johns Hopkins and built instruments for two NASA missions (one of them is still orbiting Jupiter right now). She figured out how to start a tiny vacuum pump that NASA designed for a future Mars rover. Johns Hopkins nominated it for their Invention of the Year in 2009. Then she went back to the field. More time in Antarctica and a stretch up in Greenland. A government research station in northern Alaska, near the top of the world. Then she ran another one in American Samoa, near the equator.

In 2013, NASA selected her from 6,300 applicants. Eight people got in. Her first space mission was supposed to be a normal rotation on the International Space Station, but NASA extended it. She ended up staying 328 straight days and orbiting Earth 5,248 times, covering about 139 million miles (roughly 291 round trips to the Moon). Up there, she ran over 210 experiments, including tests of cancer drugs in zero gravity and 3D printers that can build structures close to human tissue. Six spacewalks, 42 hours floating outside the station. She learned Russian for the training. She flies supersonic jets.

Right now, Koch is on Artemis II, heading for a flyby behind the far side of the Moon. The crew launched on April 1 and is on track to travel about 252,000 miles from Earth, which would break the all-time human distance record of 248,655 miles set by Apollo 13 in 1970. That record has stood for 56 years, and it was set during a disaster that nearly killed the crew. Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, is 92 now. He told Koch: "I heard you're going to break our record."

Nobody had left Earth's neighborhood since December 1972. Koch and her three crewmates are the first in 53 years, and they are coming home at about 25,000 mph. That is faster than any crewed spacecraft has ever come back through the atmosphere.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: The Artemis II crew filmed an 80s sitcom style video as they head towards the moon.

"We will always choose each other."

Mission control has reacquired signal with the Artemis II crew after the mission’s planned loss of signal. Our astronauts are once again using the Deep Space Network to keep conversation and science data flowing between space and Earth.

[Physics & Astronomy Zone @zone_astronomy]

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

The United States is neither omnipotent not omniscient. We are only 6% of the world’s population & we cannot impose our will upon the other 94% of mankind. We cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity. There cannot be an American solution to every world problem. - JFK

MAGA is fuming after Zohran Mamdani continues to deliver on campaign promises.

Despite Republicans saying it could not be done, daycare for children in New York City is now free saving families $20,000 per child per year.

Turns out you can accomplish amazing things when you stop giving tax cuts to billionaires and funding endless Middle Eastern wars.

[💕 Brittany Belle 💕 @BrittanyinTexas]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Riley’s panic attack in Inside Out 2 (2024) is one of the most honest depictions of anxiety in a mainstream animated film.

This is savage... 🤣
