Robots landed on an asteroid...

Did you hear me?
ROBOTS LANDED ON A FREAKING ASTEROID.
I'm old enough to remember when this was Sci Fi.#asteroidlanding

At this rate, Earth risks sea level rise of 20 to 30 feet. “It doesn’t need to be a very big warming, as long as it stays 2 degrees warmer for a sufficient time, this is the end game,” a researcher said. https://t.co/pZ3ygBAV6B @chriscmooney

Throughout Hurricane Florence, Duke Energy held out hope that a dam next to its toxic coal ash basin wouldn't breach. That hope was dashed today. https://t.co/2aUuttakBy @eilperin @brady_dennis @StevenMufson pic.twitter.com/9BfMiq4x7V

"Theresa May to provide £2 billion for social housing", declares @bbcnews. OK. 300,000 houses per year required. Say they cost £100,000 each. That money (even if real) would provide less than 7% of houses needed. How about someone at BBC doing the calculation? Basic journalism.

I want for more men to understand how devastating it is to wonder all the time **in professional settings** whether a man’s interest in you is because of your talent or because he wants to sleep with you. https://t.co/MNYOqUyjgU

An Antarctic glacier is no longer named after a geologist accused of sexually harassing former female graduate students in the field. It may be the first geologic landform name toppled by #MeToo https://t.co/SzMdd6I0we

~60,000 NC residents get their drinking water from the Cape Fear River, which is already tainted with GenX, a chemical with potentially serious health risks. https://t.co/ZV8kUH72iD

Friends, I have a very rare opportunity. We have two all-expenses paid places available in an upcoming workshop. If you know someone doing amazing marine science or ocean conservation work in New York (I'll also consider Boston or Providence), please point me to them. #oceans

We now have a human-measured storm total from #Florence of 33.90", collected just N of Swansboro, NC, by a @CoCoRaHS volunteer. This includes 0.01" as of Thurs AM, 14.25" Fri, 16.33" Sat, and 3.31" Sun.

As a young black man in America, Botham Jean scrupulously avoided even the most routine encounters with police, his mother Allison told me. Then an off-duty police officer, who says she mistook him for a burglar, shot and killed him in his own home. https://t.co/Fp2YcxnJze

“We cannot rule out that coal ash is moving into the river,” @DukeEnergy says.
— John Upton (@johnupton) September 21, 2018
That means the poisonous pollution is almost certainly moving into Cape Fear River.
Neighbors have been fighting for Duke to clean this up for years. Duke fights hard. https://t.co/xo4ASfstzA

Can’t stop thinking of something my friend @DNLee5 says: inequality is not inherent, it’s designed. Injustice is not inevitable, it’s cultivated.

We choose who to uplift and what to protect. Spend your care and attention like the precious things they are.
#Brexit is the perfect deflector shield. While our A&Es and ambulance service and mental health services collapse; while homelessness rockets; while working people have to go to food banks and children go hungry, the Tories squabble over #Brexit and our media report the squabbles

Why don't Blair & Co realise that undermining Corbyn, advocating a new political party etc will only ensure the continuation of this awful Tory government. Do they actually care about the millions upon millions of ordinary people who are suffering so appallingly?

One private passenger would have made history. But an entire spaceship full of civilians, with different backgrounds, from different nations, would completely rewrite it.
