Well, The Atlantic can fuck the fuck off and then keep fucking off till the heat death of the Universe
The Atlantic ‪@theatlantic.com‬ Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Seeing as the official map had an upgrade I thought it time I went and zoomed out for an overview of the Mars2020 mission at Jezero to date - sol 1690.
It's been quite the trek.

A wired black friday advert for a 'red light therapy mask' with photos of a person wearing one and photo of the inside of the mask which appears to be covered with bright red leds. The person demonstrating the mask looks extremely wierd, with red glares showing through the white mask eye holes, nose slit and mouth hole.

I hadn't in fact seen that, thanks for posting it. I had seen some of the drawings and was particularly influenced by this one.
I first discovered perpetual motion machines as a kid and was quite taken by them. It's weird even knowing they can't work, i still tried to design it too work, lol

Antony Hook ‪@antonyhook.bsky.social‬ BREAKING: Kent County Council is hurtling towards financial oblivion under Reform.
