Visually and scientifically spectacular day! First images from a fully functional Space Telescope released to the public. Decades in the making and painstakingly assembled by thousands of hands, we can literally SEE the best science has to offer. #JWST

Re-upping this request because it just doesn't go away. Churches, please don't hand this out next year. It's ghoulish.

Christians, please stop spreading the God-carving-pumpkins story to your congregants every Halloween. While unintentionally hilarious, it's not the upbeat analogy you think it is. post.news/@/mcrocketscieโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ”ชโœ๏ธ



If your pregnant relative is considering visiting you in Houston for the holidays, maybe rethink your plans. It's a 12-hour drive to the nearest live-saving care if she starts to miscarry. Consider that while #voting, today. texastribune.org/2022/06/23/supโ€ฆ


Hey @TexasGOP, @KenPaxtonTX, @GregAbbott_TX, @DanPatrick, a miscarriage of a failed fetus is not a baby, it's a life-threatening medical emergency. The heartbeat law is killing Texas mothers at an alarming rate. Restore abortion rights in Texas now. YOU are killing Texas women.


๐Ÿคฃ Magical thinking going on at the Washington Post today. A quarter million canceled subscriptions so far.

So very sad to hear Teri Garr passed away. She was a joy to watch and lit up every role she played. At least her name will live on as a crossword favorite forever.

BREAKING: Inflation drops to lowest levels in 3 years, back down to 2.4% US inflation has historically been around 2-3% per year US recovered faster from inflation than any other top economy So if you still see prices climbing out of control, thatโ€™s PRICE GOUGING by retailers


Hey, @MarkHamill! You can add this Sunday to the all the times you've been included in the NYT Crossword! Have you kept count?

If you have not yet mailed in your mail ballot and are concerned it may not arrive by Election Day, you can bring the ballot with you to your polling center and cancel the mail ballot and vote regular way. If you are disabled, you are entitled to advance to front of line. Sorryโ€ฆ

This woman spent the entire flight from Hiroshima to Tokyo forcefully finger-combing strands out of her hair, coiling them, then dropping them in the aisle. Hundreds of hairs. I was gagging. Don't be this person. #badpassenger


With complete confidence the state will enforce their decision with no additional effort from them.


Been waiting for this for a loooong time. Go, Europa Clipper! (Weโ€™ll see it again as it does its gravity assist around Earth in late 2026 on its way to Jupiter.) Anyone who saw the movie โ€œ2010โ€ in 1984 and remembers this warning will be glad weโ€™re not landing there.

By Jupiter!! NASAโ€™s Europa Clipper has launched. The $5 billion mission, decades in the making, seeks to investigate ice-encrusted Europa, which appears to have a subsurface ocean and has long been identified by scientists as potentially habitable.



Go to Iwillvote.com and verify you're still registered. You may be surprised. Today may be your last day.

I just looked at my voter registration status and I saw that itโ€™s inactive, although I voted in the summer primary. I made some calls and was told this is a huge problem in Ga. Iโ€™m now re-registering. Voter registration deadline is TOMORROW. Check your registration status!!!!



Oh my god, this just keeps getting worse the farther down you get in the thread. This man is an incompetent monster, not an Ob/Gyn. Imagine suggesting to a sick woman he's examining, in stirrups, that he do cosmetic surgery to remove her labia majora to look better.

Dr. Greg Marchand, ladies & gents. He's a bad person, and honestly, I can't imagine ever being in his care. A thread of just a few reviews, from different sites. (I picked reviews 1+ years old, to filter out people doing reviews based on his internet BS). Obvious CW.



The FBI wants you to report it if you're a student or prof at a law school and receiving text messages like this. At tips.fbi.govย (or 1-800-CALL-FBI). They must be tracking a threat. Pass it on.

Women law professors have been receiving text messages, all with similar wording, from a variety of unknown numbers. And no, it is not because syllabi were posted online w cell phones (many non-public numbers are being contacted). I have been texted 3 separate times, and I knowโ€ฆ

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. The best voice in the whole acting world. I hope you enjoy whatever's beyond the corn.

Vote for Colin Allred, not @SenTedCruz

TX electricity distributor messages all customers to not rely on them if they need electricity to live this week. "If you rely on electricity for life-sustaining equipment, please have a backup plan in place to ensure your safety." Thx @GregAbbott_TX @ERCOT_ISO @CenterPoint
