@copesint There are lots of politicians across western governments who hold a mysterious hatred for servicemen past and present (weirdly, lots of said politicians are on the right!). Convicting the literal dude who shoots kids for fun is… a poor example of that

My first and only ever community input meeting was for building smart grid infrastructure in my city in 2014. I a friend and our professor turned out to be in the minority of people there who wanted the smart grid. A woman in a large crowd of what turned out to be protestors stood up and said "There is a new refugee crisis in this country: people with wifi intolerance. They have nowhere to go" and we spent the next hour getting told that people were having to flee cities where smart grid was built due to the wifi, wifi gives you cancer, and that we were shills for smart grid. This is what turned me evil.

@RajeshPateLigma @clusterbitch_ Women generally like when guys ramble on about stuff they’re passionate about, but nobody would like it if you did nothing but that all the time! A key skill of being smart and attractive is knowing when it’s okay to ramble off stuff you know and when to cut back and chill out

@RajeshPateLigma @clusterbitch_ There’s like a balance point. Simply being smart isn’t enough you have to be socially elegant. Too many smart guys (some of which are my best bros) don’t understand how to be smart without also being coarse or overbearing about it. Nobody likes to be lectured or talked down to.

I’m glad that spaceflight policy is out of the hands of the general public because the people I’m supposedly making the world a better place for are dumber than a bag of rocks who would see these efforts cancelled for reasons they can’t articulate

This is so incredibly moving when it’s not to add 19 more starlink satellites to the night sky

@ynchnhorn196202 @Blobifie The Chinese can have a place in the international space exploration community when they stop being an ethonationalist authoritarian power seeking to invade and/or exert control over their sovereign neighbors. Until then, they’re on their own.

@Shuttle__T @ynchnhorn196202 @Blobifie Dude I hate Trump’s guts, but pretending our idiot of a democratically elected leader fought illegal shit is the same and Xi’s despotic ass is crazy. Every thing we both hate Trump for doing is something China would do! We need to do better, doesn’t mean they don’t too.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth. On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world. Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

@ynchnhorn196202 @Blobifie I hope I get to see that in my lifetime, Chinese spaceflight is super cool and Chinese people and scientists are great and obviously not (always) their government. But unfortunately for all involved, said government is really, really bad.
