@joebarnard It's not about being masters of a dot. It's about being masters of human beings, the only known sentience in the universe.

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot - Carl Sagan

@0xFrenxbtdotxrp Feels like the market is pretending to care about the war at this point.

Ok but what if a whole civilisation dying tonight has already been priced in?

@luke_leisher_ I can't wait for the North America pic one day.

Instant homescreen.

@RockettLord The thesis that men are so horrible that some 90%+ of women avoid working with them in engineering conflicts with all other times women spend time with men.

@GaltsToad ???? Women don’t want to deal with jerks and misogyny everyday. That doesn’t mean they don’t want to be engineers or scientists. Women love being creative and solving problems.

My graduating class of Aerospace Engineering at a university of 33k people was less 10% women. My university prided itself in having a high percentage of women in engineering majors at 25% and that was largely due to a biomedical engineering program that had a 50% ratio. I have been the only woman in an engineering department at two jobs. Our work is not finished. The STEM outreach is fantastic these days but the alctual engineering industry still has work to do

@undeservingfut @AutismCapital Indeed, just pointing out the theater is no reason not to go through with it.

@GaltsToad @AutismCapital The Iranian Gov. will shoot them anyway and blame it on the Americans.

If this is true it's a very interesting move to call Trump's bluff. Iran is trying to make the cost of his decision so morally high that it becomes a line that if he crosses there's no coming back from. i.e. "Are you prepared to directly kill all the youth?" It's diabolical.

@Grummz Rocky is a national treasure. Statues everywhere

Who’s gonna have more personality?

@MissLadyJay_ZA I also watched it twice. Must harvest all its vibes.

All this Artemis II news made me buy a ticket to watch Project Hail Mary in theatres again for a second viewing 🥺

@JennyHPhoto Was the bottle tested for such a mission?

Nutella around the Moon! 😆

@Polymarket One of these whistleblowers made a claim about the recovery of non human organics and I'm thinking, "what an ant?"

JUST IN: Rep. Tim Burchett says a source told him the U.S. has knowledge of both "non-human life and non-earthly machinery"

@SierraWhiskey9 cultured

People who wear complete golf outfits when not golfing, thoughts?

@ABernNYC AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE

WOWOWOW

@OliviaStalvey @NASA I WANT A PIC WITH NORTH AMERICA PLZ

GIVE ME THOSE PHOTOS RIGHT NOW @NASA

@hoshizorarock I had cheesecake for breakfast

勘のいいアメリカ人諸君ならもうお分かりだと思いますがチーズ警察は月からもアメリカのチーズ犯罪者達を監視しています。

Thank you autobake2

@amitisinvesting Markets get bored of a crises and move on. I assume this happens as everyone adapts thereby making the crises non/less damaging.

Why are the markets holding on to a bit of green today? Last night, Axios reported a potential 45-day ceasefire was being negotiated. That flipped futures green. This morning, we got a response from Iran rejecting the ceasefire, but...they did send a 10-point proposal to the US. The main points in the proposal are calling for a full end to the war and being paid for the damages. The US hasn't responded and likely will counter their points again, but it does seem like negotiations are taking place and if they are, that may be enough for the markets to think that Trump's Tuesday deadline isn't as aggressive in escalating the war as was thought. Trump just now: "They've made a proposal, and it's a significant proposal...it's not good enough, but it's a very significant step."

@Pirat_Nation Crises averted

A new study from the University of Michigan found that common lab gloves may be making microplastics levels look higher than they really are. Tiny particles from nitrile and latex gloves can be mistaken for microplastics during testing, which may have affected some earlier studies.
