On this day in 1958, Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, reentered the atmosphere. It broke up/burned up over the western U.S. No authenticated pieces of the 86 kg satellite are known to survive, but here's an interesting story: osi.af.mil/News/Features/…

So let me get this straight: Dr. Casey Means, Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General, failed to disclose her lucrative financial ties to supplement companies while her family quietly invested in Big Tobacco. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars pocketed through wellness…
Kimmel's comment was false (since the guy really IS not MAGA) but there's a distinction between being nasty and endorsing or calling for assassination, which he didn't do. Love or hate Kimmel, ABC is being a wimp.
Something we have to think about.
I used to think the death penalty was too cruel Then I worked at house for victims of sex trafficking, 40 hour shifts where I would live on the property w/ the girls I saw unimaginable things. Seeing evil that close changed my mind Death penalty might not be cruel enough
Farewell to Robert Redford, a talented, passionate, dedicated actor and creator, and a man of whom my mother once said, "If you use a 10-point scale for who's attractive, he needs exponents."
Nat Geo has a good article quoting yours truly on the question of recovering our oldest satellites. (Unfortunately, NG articles can't be gifted) nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

Do the oldest satellites in space need saving?
A coalition of scientists and historians are floating a long-shot plan to retrieve orbiting relics—raising questions about what is space junk or space treasure.
It would shock you to learn how many grown people can't read on even a basic level. The removal of early phonics instruction in the 2000s, combined with the rise of smartphones, has killed mass literacy. This will have consequences we're only beginning to fathom.
the 23 year old pilates instructor couldn’t pronounce my name so i gave her the phonetic spelling & she said “yeah that doesn’t help, idk if i know how to read, i don’t really know how words sound” and i was like oh so you just don’t know phonics and she said WHATS THAT
things are bad out there, folks. love the people in your life as fiercely as possible.
SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds.…
This hawk was perched in our front yard, only feet from the house, here in Colorado Springs, trading stares with a bunny frozen still. They held that pose several minutes before I scared off the hawk trying to get a better shot.
Danger!
One thing that's clear from the online debate over whether the left or the right is more violent is that many people have an encyclopedic command of the attacks perpetrated by the other side, and have memory-holed attacks by their co-ideologists.
September 11, 1522, birthday of Italian physician & naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi. Studying plants & animals to find medical remedies, he became interested in crystals & petrifactions found in the ground naming them fossilia or fossilis meaning "the excavated things."
I agree with almost nothing this man says, but I'm praying for him and his family.
Charlie Kirk has a young family. Please, please, please pray for Charlie Kirk.
Sone of the AI lectures are fine, but who generates REAL information? Real historians. Support them.
AI-generated history lectures have become hugely popular. Actual historians are losing millions of viewers to these viral channels. They are full of misinformation; they will not teach you real history. If you really care about learning, find an informed human or read a book.
I don't like the modern political emphasis on insults, but well-aimed sarcasm it a different thing.
Rep. Moskowitz: "So you're telling me someone 22 years ago went back to the future and forged his signature when he was a Democrat, and somehow this person knew he would become a Republican and become president 22 years later?...We should immediately open up an investigation!"
