Hi all. As many of you know, my kid is trans and is probably the most awesome person alive. I hate to ask, since I know we are luckier than most, but medical care in the US is a disaster & I can't cover this on my own. Please share & help Lou become the version of himself he wants to be. ❤️

I feel that. Mine are a little younger at 64 & 67, but I definitely don't see them enough.

Don't tell me Israel is just going to keep killing people wherever and whenever they please? Glad the US isn't enabling that shit anymore ...

Happy birthday to the United States Navy. 250 years of boats, knots, painting things that don't need paint, not painting things that do need paint, airplanes, helicopters, and an ocean of paperwork.

Gotta love a tool that tells you it's either something harmless like antifreeze or we all might die horribly very soon.

Seriously... I can and will build you a fully custom hardwood desk-either painted or clear finished- and hand deliver to you if you live between the Rockies and the Atlantic Coast. I bet you can afford it. DM me!

I was able to guess that one but had to Google to be sure.

Oh, no kidding. Thanks!

Never thought I'd see that, but I agree. Maybe even #2. Miami is ranked too high considering their schedule, and I'm a Miami fan.

Good thread on a weird cosmology thing.

Robert “The Bobby Yaga” McNees @mcnees.bsky.social · 3d

“Why is the night sky dark, if we live in an infinite universe?”

Kepler, Halley, and Cheseaux all pondered this apparent paradox, but the question is commonly attributed to Heinrich Olbers, who was born #OTD in 1758. 🧪 🔭

This is one of my favorite pictures. Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin are descending to the moon's surface. Michael Collins is taking the picture from the orbiter. He is the only person living or dead as of 1969 not in this picture. Kind of a weird thing to wrap your head around.
