We had such a great day planting marsh grass in the Central Wetlands with so many awesome volunteers! We planted 3,500 plugs of grass, which will help restore the natural wetlands ecosystem while mitigating erosion by slowing wave action and accumulating sediment along the banks.

After becoming the farthest humans from earth, the Artemis II crew has named a crater on the far side of the moon after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. Seeing the Integrity crew's hugs and tears in space is such a human moment. Thinking of his girls knowing their mom will be remembered.

Humanity's future is in mentats like Katherine Johnson.
I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.
If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

If you are over 40, you remember when the weather was more stable, more predictable, and less severe. That's climate change. Denying it means ignoring the evidence of your own senses and mind for an ideology or being on a partisan team.

Pastor was having an affair with a church member. First Lady found out when she discovered pictures and messages on the Pastor's computer. The First Lady printed everything and passed it out to the congregation the following Sunday.
For those of you that abandoned organized religion, what was the “spark” that started your deconstruction arc?

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.
