My high school neighbourhood just elected a local 59yo councilwoman who campaigned in the local paper with an AI photo. Her statement: ‘I used an internet program to enhance the image because the resolution of the photo was bad. It’s simply my photo, that really is me. I use medication that’s why I look a bit different now. But yes, I do look much younger than my age. When I’m out with my son people think I’m his girlfriend. I hear that I look super young for my age all the time.’

Real talk time guys. I’m going to preface this by saying I too am guilty of this, just as Tim and the rest of the spaceflight influencers are, as I have only published on Artemis II video that I had planned thus far. And so I include myself in this group, but the reason nobody is aware of this mission is because we haven’t been making ANY content about this mission. AT ALL. Tim and others such as WAI and Marcus house have no videos about Artemis II on their channels. Scott has one KSP video about it (as do I) and I’ve seen a few others with one or two videos but that’s IT. Spaceflight influencers have enormously FAILED the everyday person. We haven’t properly produced the content that would otherwise have gotten millions of people talking about this event. It’s honestly shameful. We’ve been asking for decades “when will we return to the Moon” and then when it finally happened, we remained silent about it. It’s a sad state of affairs, and the next time we go to the Moon, it MUST be different.

Israel's attack on Iran's largest steel plants appears to be a painful blow for the regime. Tehran is threatening revenge, but has virtually no ability to protect vital economic targets from being hit. This is a major vulnerability that Israel and US will likely exploit in the coming days. Hitting Iran's industrial and economic base not only harms regime capabilities but also hurts the IRGC, which is heavily invested in many key industries. A month into the war and still going, the cumulative damage suffered by Iran keeps mounting. The regime still stands, but its foundations are being deeply eroded. While focusing on immediate survival, the regime is losing a huge chunk of national assets that enable longer term survival.
