They think $8.2M has been spent studying transgender mice rather than transgenic mice. We're all screwed aren't we? 🤦‍♂️

On the bright side, UK media types who previously struggled with Rhun ap Iorwerth now only have to say 'First Minister' #Senedd

This magnificent, discordant fanfare was first heard by the British public on 16th January 1979, opening the first of what was to become a sublime sequence of documentaries that ran for decades #SirDavidAttenborough #LifeOnEarth #DavidAttenborough100
16 January 1979. The first episode of the landmark BBC1 documentary series, Life on Earth: A Natural History, presented by David Attenborough, was broadcast. It traced the evolution of life on Earth. It originally ran for 13 episodes until 10 April 1979.

The Artemis II crew observed six impact flashes from meteorites striking the Moon! The impacts appeared near the equatorial region & were most clearly seen while the Moon was eclipsing the Sun. No photos, unfortunately: The flashes happened too quickly. sciencealert.com/nasas-artem…

“Why didn’t Artemis II photograph the Apollo landing sites?” Because there was no reason to. We already have the images - high-resolution, crystal-clear proof sitting right there for anyone who isn’t terminally online and allergic to facts. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has photographed all six Apollo landing sites in exquisite detail. They’ve also been independently imaged by Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter (India), Kaguya (SELENE) (Japan), and Chang’e 2 (China). Those missions were in proper low lunar orbit, about 50 km above the surface, packed with dedicated narrow-angle cameras built exactly for surface mapping. Artemis II? High-speed flyby at 8,000–10,000 km out, one quick pass, zero orbital insertion, and zero surface-mapping gear on board. Just crew snapping pictures through windows with off-the-shelf cameras. Trying to resolve car-sized hardware from that distance would be like reading license plates from the International Space Station - utterly pointless. More importantly, there was zero mission value in pandering to the denial crowd. NASA designs flights around engineering, science, and crew safety, not around humoring conspiracy theorists who treat evidence like it’s optional. The data already exists. It’s been confirmed, cross-checked, and independently verified by multiple nations for years. And let’s be honest: even if Artemis II had beamed back 8K footage of the lunar modules with little American flags still standing, the same deniers would instantly scream “FAKE!” while furiously refreshing their flat-Earth forums. No one cares what deniers want - they exist for our amusement only. Zombies in clown makeup.
