We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

The Kabin is an incredible project. It's a non-profit recording studio and creative hub located in one of Cork's poorest neighborhoods. They work with local kids and, every now and then, drop an absolute banger.

After the elections, I can't stand what the other site has become. A rabid cesspit of frothing nutjobs. Like who or what is running all these mad accounts? Are they even real? I don't understand it anymore.
