@hell_line0 Plus all that work she did at the arctic station, she’s an amazingly qualified scientist/engineer.

Men will literally look at a woman who is a mechanical engineer and an astronaut who has been in space longer than the other 3 male crew members COMBINED and is one of 4 people to be as far from earth as she has…then comment on what she looks like.

@CrocodileChuck That’s great. Are you following the Artemis mission?

@TimothyNiland If you're inquiring about my Bitches Brew post, yes. Blu-Spec confers incredible separation between instruments, better than an SACD. Then, it's quieter [lower noise floor] so you hear more detail, ambience. The music is just THERE, in the room. The Electric Miles cd's rock.

@CrocodileChuck Is there appreciable sound improvement on the remaster?

@kalaelizabeth @TheDJ_King This mission is the only thing keeping me going in this messed up world…

@TheDJ_King people using chatgpt to factcheck images posted by literal NASA is just fucking bleak 🫠

Ah yes, what's more reliable? A globally well-respected science agency... Or ChatGPT. And you call me dumb.

I published a Substack essay on "Iran War: The Three Questions," which covers basics everyone needs to know: open.substack.com/pub/notesoneve…

@kalaelizabeth The launch was so exciting, I was holding my breath, but everything went well. Nice to have some good news for a change!

How crazy to watch humanity go around the moon in 2026. I hope games that have adjacent lore will update theirs to include this cool moment too. Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, Exodus etc 🚀

@eightvinyllow British blues/R&B and its evolution into rock ‘n’ roll is fascinating. There are some good box sets from Cherry Red’s Strawberry & Grapefruit imprints that go in depth with diverse song selection and detailed liner notes.

@kalaelizabeth I walked around in a daze after finishing Enderal: Forgotten Stories. The fate of Karlach after BG3 is heartbreaking as well.

I love RPGs because they make me sad 😎
