@sighyam Drop the new barber deets pls - sending to my hubby

My local Turkish barber absolutely fucked me up for £25, and I will never return to this hairstyle again. East Asian hair requires proper scissor work and careful use of clippers and not a lot of barbers in London can do that well in my experience. You live and you learn 😂💀

The women in my life were right…. the fade was holding me back.

Love how the USA chose Capitalism over the religion they pretend to believe in ❤️

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

Men have the same rights no matter where they go in the world. A woman's rights depends on the country she lives in or the religion she follows. Read again.

I’m so glad the BBC sent her to be the reporter on this! She appreciated every moment of the #Artemis launch so much!! 🚀

The latest Economist cover says it all.

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime. The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood. The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old. The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose. And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled. The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around. Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

Only in this lifetime could I watch project hail mary and a successful Artemis launch within a week of each other

…This is my favorite kind of April’s Fool joke. No one is harmed or harassed. It’s an in-joke. And you could almost overlook it. Also, y’know. Omegaverse.

“Male loneliness epidemic”… you mean the consequences of their actions?

people say "women are not paid less, they just pick empathy careers." ok.!!! but who decided nursing and teaching are worth less? like we will pay a sales guy 150k to move numbers around, but pay a nurse pennies to literally keep people alive, or give a teacher crumbs and wonder why future generations are failing every test. it is not that empathy based work is less valuable it is that we’ve normalized underpaying it because it’s "women’s work."

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.

I love that the two biggest hit movies in theatres right now are about the benefits of co-existence and recognising the need to work together, even if it's a different species or from another galaxy, to solve a problem affecting the planet.

Overall, obvious that they’re still figuring things out. Last week was strong, as it SHOULD been as the first ever episode - but time will help iron out kinks. Excited to see how Riz Ahmed will do next week! 3/3

The problems we face are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. We are a mass movement for a kinder world. Together, we can take on the far-right — and win.

Half a million people standing against the far right. Half a million people who care about each other and our communities. Half a million people ready to make hope normal again.

glad to see an original pixar film and a non franchise film shine at the box office in an era of nostalgia slop
