The force awakens in newborn stars. Hubble captured some cosmic "lightsabers" far, far away. These are actually young stellar jets, colliding at fast speeds with nearby gas and dust. Happy Star Wars Day from the Hubble team!

me when my 6th album is called everybody scream the first track is everybody scream performing everybody scream on the everybody scream tour:

‘THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.’ by RAYE earns 15.95 million streams on its first day on the Spotify counter. It marks the biggest album debut of her career.

You’re not supposed to half-listen to this album. You’re supposed to attend it. Start to finish. No distractions. No skipping. Because what @raye has done here isn’t just a collection of songs. It’s a full arc. A woman in real time. Still in it. Still figuring it out. Not waiting to be healed before she speaks. I went track by track and broke down what’s actually happening underneath it all. The shifts. The defence mechanisms. The moments people laugh past that are actually doing something deeper. It’s not just music. It’s structure. It’s survival. And more than anything, it’s honest in a way most people aren’t brave enough to be while they’re still in the middle of it. If you’ve only had this on in the background, you’ve missed the point. Substack out - open.substack.com/pub/mimithemus…

I know you’re hurting 😭❤️‍🩹

In a world where every day I wake up feeling like we’re all doomed and there’s no hope left, Project Hail Mary is a gentle reminder that not all is lost. There’s still warmth and humanity and something worth holding onto. Such an important, powerful message in times like these.

everybody is talking about how good the visuals are and rightly so but oh my god i’m not being hyperbolic when i say this has one of the best score’s i have heard in YEARS.

when every other actress emmy nomination is for one role and tatiana maslany’s is a whole row

the last march of the ents:

i cannot stress this enough - boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vulture names Genevieve O’Reilly’s performance in ANDOR one of the best TV performances of 2025 “Emmy voters should be embarrassed until the end of time for failing to nominate any of Andor’s ensemble in the major acting categories. No Diego Luna for Best Actor, no Stellan Skarsgård for Best Supporting Actor, no Elizabeth Dulau for Best Supporting Actress, and, most irritatingly of all, no Genevieve O’Reilly for Best Actress. If the first season of the series was Luna’s, with Cassian Andor undergoing a journey of radicalization that would turn him into a central figure in the Rebellion, then the second season belonged to O’Reilly’s Senator Mon Mothma as she realized all of her political wheeling and dealing wasn’t enough to put a stop to the Imperial Empire’s authoritarianism. O’Reilly starts Mothma from a place of sophistication, grace, and panicked resolve, then steadily turns her into an avatar of disgust at the Senate’s collection of corrupt pushovers and cowards. Her speech about the Empire’s Ghorman genocide is an urgent appeal for moral reckoning that is Andor at its most clear-eyed and O’Reilly at her best. Her ability to be composed and aghast in equal measure made Mothma one of the series’ most fascinating creations: a woman constantly navigating what she can do to make the promise of democracy real.”

The Best TV Shows of 2025: #Andor “Andor” was all about the ordinary people who make political movements work and won’t be remembered by history. The Disney+ series made these fictional people so complete in such a short period of time, and within a framework as historically constricting as a blockbuster franchise, that it deserves to be remembered as the show of the year, if not the decade so far. variety.com/lists/best-tv-…

its because a lot of atheists grew up in Christian homes, learned the ideology but decided to be normal about it after

let’s be real the best invention of the last five years is not chatgpt. it’s nerds gummy clusters
