Happy New Year, everyone!! May 2026 be joyful and less crazy/stressful.

“Why go to the space when we have other problems here at home?” A tale as old as time… #1: we can do them BOTH #2: national security, science and discovery, potential lunar economy, inspiration

Most people know the warning from Costco founder Jim Sinegal to Costco’s previous CEO about raising the price of $1.50 hot dog combo: “I’ll f**king kill you.” This exchange Sinegal has with the Seattle Times is better:

こんにちは！ 今日は、SpaceXを訪問して、私たちのミッションをサポートして下さった方々に挨拶をしてまわりました。 皆さん、温かく迎えてくださり、お互いにパワーを与え合う様な素晴らしい1日になりました。 また、飛行記念の特製ウイングマークも頂きました。大切な宝物にしたいと思います。

The OG Wardell. Forever immortalized 🫡

Someone placed a small stick on each of the dog graves in this cemetery.

Happy birthday to World Baseball Classic champion, José Buttó!

Costco CEO Ron Vachris did the “CEO eats his own product” challenge by destroying a hot dog (and confirms the Costco hot dog combo is staying at $1.50 forever). Legend.

California squirrels are eating rodents in broad daylight. In California’s Briones Regional Park, researchers observed a startling new behavior: California ground squirrels, typically known for eating nuts and seeds, are now hunting, killing, and consuming voles, a smaller rodent species in their habitat. A study in the Journal of Ethology documented 74 squirrel-vole interactions, with 42% involving squirrels stalking, pouncing on, and eating voles. This behavior, observed almost daily, marks the first recorded instance of widespread carnivory in this species. While squirrels have occasionally eaten insects or bird eggs, actively hunting warm-blooded prey is unprecedented. Student-recorded videos show squirrels chasing voles, restraining them with forepaws, biting their necks, and consuming their flesh or organs. The behavior may stem from a vole population surge—nearly seven times the state’s ten-year average—prompting squirrels to exploit this abundant protein source. Squirrels of all ages and sexes participated, suggesting a potential lasting adaptation. It’s unclear if this carnivorous trend will continue once vole numbers normalize, but the discovery reveals the surprising adaptability of even well-known animals.

ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher says at a press briefing that controllers have just managed to restore contact with the Proba-3 coronagraph spacecraft, which had been out of contact since last month. Recovery efforts underway.

@StephenCurry30 GOAT. 👏

A special night for the Curry family 🙌🏼 The originator is in the rafters forever. Congratulations, Dad.

Record for most threes by a family in NBA History belongs to none other than the Currys — 6,247 combined 3s and counting. This is probably one of the most unbreakable records out there.

After laying down plywood in front of the crawler-transporter 2 treads, a few pieces of plywood get caught by a gust of wind and blown away from their positions. No update yet from NASA on when to expect forward motion. Watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=Wyi9M7…
