My personal headcanon for Ash Ketchum has always been that regardless of if his dream ever came true he'd never truly stop traveling and learning. Because despite "becoming a pokemon master" being his goal if you actually sit down and watch like Any episode of Pokemon the thing that always holds true is his curiosity and desire to learn everything he possibly can related to pokemon. And he'll try anything to! He did contests and the battle frontier. He'd do those silly little shows with Serena if they'd let him.
So I like to imagine him continuing on in life as this nomad who people don't automatically recognize as anyone important ya know? Just this goofy guy going from place to place always lending a helping hand and hes got a cute lil pikachu on him. And hes often lost somewhere with a friend just exploring the woods to see if he'll find anything cool. Ya know, as hes always been, but older now. And its only once hes drifted once more do you maybe stumble into an article on the pokeweb about him and are like... that guy??
A Beginner’s Guide to Advanced Air Mobility
Soaring over traffic in an air taxi, receiving packages faster, and participating in a sustainable, safer mode of transportation: all could be possible with a revolutionary new type of air transportation system in development called Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).
AAM could include new aircraft developed by industry, called electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs, for use in passenger, package, or cargo delivery. It may also include new places for these aircraft to take off and land called vertiports.
Our work in Advanced Air Mobility will transform the way people and goods will move through the skies. This includes using Advanced Air Mobility for public good missions such as disaster, medical, and wildfire response.
What is Advanced Air Mobility?
Our vision for Advanced Air Mobility is to map out a safe, accessible, and affordable new air transportation system alongside industry, community partners, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Once developed, passengers and cargo will travel on-demand in innovative, automated aircraft called eVTOLs, across town, between neighboring cities, or to other locations typically accessed today by car.
What are the benefits of Advanced Air Mobility?
The addition of Advanced Air Mobility will benefit the public in several ways: easier access for travelers between rural, suburban, and urban communities; rapid package delivery; reduced commute times; disaster response, and new solutions for medical transport of passengers and supplies.
What are the challenges associated with Advanced Air Mobility?
Various NASA simulation and flight testing efforts will study noise, automation, safety, vertiports, airspace development and operations, infrastructure, and ride quality, along with other focus areas like community integration.
These areas all need to be further researched before Advanced Air Mobility could be integrated into our skies. We’re helping emerging aviation markets navigate the creation of this new transportation system.
When will Advanced Air Mobility take off?
We provide various test results to the FAA to help with new policy and standards creation. We aim to give industry and the FAA recommendations for requirements to build a scalable Advanced Air Mobility system to help enable the industry to flourish by 2030.

Meet NGC 2841
Location: In the constellation Ursa Major
Type: Flocculent spiral galaxy
Discovered by: William Herschel
NGC 2841 is a beautiful example of a flocculent spiral galaxy – a type with discontinuous, featherlike, and patchy arms. A bright cusp of starlight distinguishes the galaxy's center from the dust lanes that outline the group of almost white middle-aged stars. The far younger blue stars trace the spiral arms.
Find out more information about NGC 2841 here.

The Adventures of Commander Moonikin Campos
Artemis I will be an enormous step toward humanity’s return to the Moon. This mission will be the first flight test of the integrated Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft — the same system that will send future Artemis astronauts to the Moon. That’s why NASA needs someone capable to test the vehicle. Someone with the necessary experience. Someone with the Right Stuff. (Or... stuffing).
Meet Commander Moonikin Campos. He is a manikin, or a replica human body. Campos is named after Arturo Campos, a trailblazing NASA employee who worked on Apollo missions. Arturo Campos’ skill as an electrical engineer was pivotal in the rescue efforts to help guide the Apollo 13 astronauts home.
As the leader of the mission, Commander Campos will be flying in the pilot’s seat for the length of the mission: a journey of 1.3 million miles (~2 million km) around the Moon and back to Earth. He's spent years training for this mission and he loves a challenge. Campos will be equipped with two radiation sensors and will have additional sensors under his headrest and behind his seat to record acceleration and vibration data throughout the mission.
Traveling with Campos are his quirky companions, Zohar and Helga. They’re part of a special experiment to measure radiation outside of the protective bubble of Earth’s atmosphere. Together with their commander, they’re excited to play a role in humanity’s next great leap. (And hopefully they can last the entire flight without getting on each other's nerves.)
Will our brave explorers succeed on their mission and ensure the success of future Artemis operations? Can Commander Moonikin Campos live up to the legacy of his heroic namesake?? And did anyone remember to bring snacks??? Get the answers in this thrilling three-part series!
In the first part of Commander Moonikin Campos’ journey, our trailblazing hero prepares for liftoff from NASA’s spaceport at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, gets acquainted with the new hardware aboard the Orion spacecraft, and meets his crewmates: Helga and Zohar!
In the second part of the trio’s adventure, Campos, Helga, and Zohar blast out of the Earth’s atmosphere with nearly 8.8 million pounds (4 million kg) of thrust powering their ascent. Next stop: the Moon!
In the final chapter of the Artemis I mission, Campos and friends prepare for their return home, including the last and most dangerous part of their journey: reentering Earth’s atmosphere at a screeching 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kph).

See the Universe in a New Way with the Webb Space Telescope's First Images
Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨
Carina Nebula
This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.
Southern Ring Nebula
The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.
Stephan’s Quintet
Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.
WASP-96 b
WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.
Webb's First Deep Field
This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.
These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

Earlier today, on my way to university, I saw that the seagull experience was not exclusive to humans. There was a few groups of pigeons trying to find something to eat, when a seagull swooped in towards the biggest group. It did it twice and flew away, showing that those birds are indeed little shits.
An old farmer got up in the middle of the night to use the toilet.
As he was heading back to bed, he looked out the window and saw the lights on in his shed. A closer inspection revealed men loading his tools and farm machinery into their truck.
He rushes to the phone and calls 000 (911)
“I need the police! There are some guys clearing out my shed!”
“OK sir, we have dispatched officers, they should be there in about an hour.”
“An hour?! But they’ll be long gone by then!”
“I’m sorry sir but there are no officers in your area.”
The farmer hangs up angrily, waits 10 minutes and then calls 000 again.
“Hi, it’s me again. Don’t worry about sending those cops, I’ve just shot the robbers.” and he hangs up.
Less then 10 minutes later, three cop cars and a helicopter arrive and the robbers are arrested. The sergeant goes up to the house and bangs on the door. The farmer opens it in his dressing gown and holding a cup of tea.
“What’s going on here!? You said you shot the robbers!”
“You said there were no officers in my area.”
Thanks Amigo, but I would have loved to know that before my good boy gave me that stick
Excalibur is not a sword. It is a weapon that appears in many forms, conferring extreme luck to the pure-hearted chosen wielder. And the Lady is the giver of this weapon, who can also take many forms.
the last one just screams "bruh..."
sonic mania adventures has extremely underutilized meme potential
Hot take: In Sonic'06, Silver has his name because SEGA wanted to brag that they didn't have a AAA game but a SSS game
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...

Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.
Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.
I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.

Dumb Game idea
I don't know how long this will be, or if someone already thought about it, but here i go:
A game that could be part of the Uncharted or Tomb Raider (recent one) series (with an Evil Organisation tm ) where you find something ancient. [Nothing supernatural in it btw, it's just worth being put in a museum, but the organisation doesn't know that. They think it is supernatural.]
BUT you're an ordinary hiker, not like an archeology nerd either, you just really like mountain climbing and have dumbass energy
I keep thinking the protag should be in full gear, so you can imagine their apparance, they're just cold, okay?
And when I mean full gear, I imagine the ski mask + googles, scarf, gloves, the whole outfit, you know?
The only true distinctive feature should be the body type, only because it's a game mechanic:
3 types: petite, average and... okay, I don't know how to call it, so chunk will do for now
So let's say, you'll go for a petite/slim play style, in that case, it's more advantageous to be stealthy, more acrobatic, fissures are your domain (exploration >:D). Enemies will be physically stonger but you'll be faster. Less stamina but harder to wrangle and to grip and more places to hide
Average is...boring, let's face it, it's an all-around type of thing, you played Tomb Raider or Uncharted or both? Congrats, you played average mode :)
I have nothing against them, of course, people do have their preferences. I never even played them :( For me, it's just... forget the protag one second and tell me it's not basically the same game story wise...
Average mode is still of course for players who never got to enjoy those games, it doesn't have access to petite's only and chunk's only passageways, but you can still enjoy
Chunk's mode is more fighting-heavy. You have more stamina, can move small boulders you otherwise couldn't but it's just the opposite version of petite's mode. You can knock out in one hit an opponent but you're easier to wrangle (more grip on you) and god help you if you try to be stealthy , you'll just look ridiculous
Bonus: maybe a bad route? You can decide to help the Evil organisation (tm) in the early game onwards, the whole game would be without "enemies" but I'm thinking last act of the game,they'll just get rid of you, you straight up die if you don't fight back. Also, I don't think a whole ass version of the game to fit each mode would be right, just... the same layout but with different button prompts for the mode you use, okay?okay
Your body is a planet
I honestly think so:
Your smile is a diamond
What you call “ugly strechmarks”, I call a breathtaking montain range
Your “body fat” are dunes of sand that I dream of gliding across
Your eyes are an ocean that I want to drown in
Your hair is a waterfall one could only HOPE to touch
Your freckles make stars pale in comparison
So, please take care of your planet?
I came up with a pun earlier, I feel proud of myself:
How do you weigh a dinosaur’s bones?
You scale-a-ton…
I LOVE IT!!! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!
anyone please ask your crush out like this
Don’t worry world the only kind of predator I want to be is from the movie Predator
Dear friends of Tumblr,
Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.
