UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph.

The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay.

Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom.

@end3of6days9 Years ago my brother and his family visited. My nephew was maybe 6 and after a hot walk I poured us two glasses of cold water. Rest of the trip he drank water. His mom was miffed because he never drank [tap] water and his response was, “This water doesn’t taste terrible.”

I like that the Boston area has just become the one spot in the country where in the summer it’s super nice Monday through Thursday, but then Friday Saturday and Sunday is just the worst weather you’ve ever seen in your life

My office building is moving from physical badges to an app…

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Why is everything an app? Let me go to your website. Stop asking me to download your app. I cannot have an app for every store, airline, or restaurant. This is madness.

@Mike_TheJeweler @ocalypse_ Because she likely got paid in cash, didn’t report all her income, and is getting SS based on the reported income. This is something I encounter with a lot of Boomers that “paid in for 50 years”

[Eric Holland @EricQuantum]

@cremieuxrecueil Well I mean half the Boomers that go to my dog park would love to keep going to Vegas to gamble for as long as they can…

This was my consistent experience when renting. The justification was always “fair market rate increase”. Not XYZ happened or cost increases.

It sincerely saddens me the US sincerely treats real estate as an asset that must go up every year like a stock.

[Gemma @windupgemma]

My last rent increase was because the landlord noticed that the market rate for the area had gone up

Not because his costs went up, but because other landlords were charging more in my area and my landlord felt left out and thought I should pay him more for the same thing

Great! Now use this same level of creativity for tick borne illnesses

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.

Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.

Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.

The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.

The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.

A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.

With support from @CommerceGov, @IBM is announcing its plans for Anderon, America’s first quantum foundry that will accelerate American quantum leadership and enable advanced quantum wafer manufacturing.

This initiative marks one of the most significant commitments from the U.S. government in quantum R&D to date, and is poised to fuel American economic growth and quantum innovation. Learn more here: https://t.co/h0lMyV5kiw

He’s typing in a search bar, quick show him the search option he’s looking for.

Perfect. He typed the next letter that is also the next letter in the option we just showed him so take that option away and show him an option that doesn’t match at all

I sent order number and transaction dates to fully resolve the issue.

As expected, the reach out was perfunctory performance.

I have been in a 6+ month long battle with Amazon because they sent me the wrong item and they don’t have a way to return an item you didn’t order.

[zerohedge @zerohedge]

Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, the packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it anyway."

@FightWithMemes I did this in highschool to stay hydrated during football season. One year my first period teacher asked to smell the full gallon before I could drink it. I burst out laughing and asked if he thought I was that much of a psycho to start drinking a gallon of vodka at 7:35am😂

@mikebolen Let’s be honest here, the bar with Optimus will be owned by private equity seeking a 10x return charging $12 beers, $30 cocktails, and a subscription service of $6.99/month required to enter ($9.99/month to be seat eligible)
