@AryaCampaigns @McLmcswain14 @anishmoonka do your thing! consistency isn't filling the glass every day, it's showing up and trying to get a drop in every day!

@McLmcswain14 @anishmoonka I organized my bathroom sink drawer today so there’s that 🥳

Christina Koch was a firefighter at the South Pole at -111°F before she ever applied to be an astronaut. That was maybe the fourth most interesting line on her resume. She grew up in North Carolina, got three degrees from NC State, and her first real job was building deep-space instruments at NASA. Then she left for Antarctica. Spent three and a half years bouncing between the Arctic and Antarctic as a research scientist, including a full winter at the South Pole base. That means going months without sunlight or fresh food, with a crew of about 50 people and no way out until flights resume. While she was down there, she also joined the glacier search-and-rescue team. After coming back, she went to Johns Hopkins and built instruments for two NASA missions (one of them is still orbiting Jupiter right now). She figured out how to start a tiny vacuum pump that NASA designed for a future Mars rover. Johns Hopkins nominated it for their Invention of the Year in 2009. Then she went back to the field. More time in Antarctica and a stretch up in Greenland. A government research station in northern Alaska, near the top of the world. Then she ran another one in American Samoa, near the equator. In 2013, NASA selected her from 6,300 applicants. Eight people got in. Her first space mission was supposed to be a normal rotation on the International Space Station, but NASA extended it. She ended up staying 328 straight days and orbiting Earth 5,248 times, covering about 139 million miles (roughly 291 round trips to the Moon). Up there, she ran over 210 experiments, including tests of cancer drugs in zero gravity and 3D printers that can build structures close to human tissue. Six spacewalks, 42 hours floating outside the station. She learned Russian for the training. She flies supersonic jets. Right now, Koch is on Artemis II, heading for a flyby behind the far side of the Moon. The crew launched on April 1 and is on track to travel about 252,000 miles from Earth, which would break the all-time human distance record of 248,655 miles set by Apollo 13 in 1970. That record has stood for 56 years, and it was set during a disaster that nearly killed the crew. Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, is 92 now. He told Koch: "I heard you're going to break our record." Nobody had left Earth's neighborhood since December 1972. Koch and her three crewmates are the first in 53 years, and they are coming home at about 25,000 mph. That is faster than any crewed spacecraft has ever come back through the atmosphere.

On my knees begging Canada to take this offer seriously 🙏

@SocTransitLover bangers

Why do my tweets keep popping off

The president is a rapist pedophile

“DEI” Koch: -longest spaceflight by a woman -first all female spacewalk -3 time ISS astronaut Glover: -Piloted first crew Dragon -4 spacewalks -ISS astronaut No matter how accomplished women and minorities are, they will always be DEI to you.

Spotlighting Denis Villeneuve for #FrancophonieMonth, named Filmmaker of the Decade by Hollywood Critics in 2019. From Dune to Blade Runner 2049, he’s redefining modern cinema. He is also set to be the first Canadian to direct a James Bond movie. What's your top Villeneuve film?

I work for the spacing guild and i am in progress in creating a guild navigator

@bedriddenmaiden yo professor what falkland islands we talking about

i have a birth mark shaped like the falklands

years of following @AlexJayBrady and never once have i not stopped in awe of their Dune work

Trying to get a French polar bear to understand English rather than just teaching a dozen French cues to the zookeepers shows a JJ McCullough level of francophobia.

It's grotesque how American political culture turns absolutely everything (TV shows, hobbies, religion, other countries, etc.) into fodder for an endless Schmittian political trench war. Canada is designated "left". Therefore, American conservatives must performatively hate everything about Canada while American liberals must performatively praise everything about it. Neither view Canada as a real place with real people, but just a political theme park. It's either the Disney Castle or the Haunted Mansion depending on their ideology. Obviously, the reality of Canada doesn't reflect either of these cartoonish hyperreal images. However, this serves as the axiom for most political discourse on the country. It has gotten to the point that Canadians now view their own country through this distorted Americanized lens.

Honestly the biggest obstacle to adapting Children and God Emperor of Dune is trying to find someone who’s got the juice to play Leto II.

@SocTransitLover hell yeah love the STM - but this puts into perspective how the issues with our transit systems in Toronto, Mtl, etc. are real issues and that we shouldn't ignore them by saying 'oh well they're comparatively small cities anyways xyz'

@jayeehaw Yes, in both raw terms and per capita. Montréal is third in raw terms (fourth per capita) and Vancouver is fourth in raw terms (third per capita). However I should say our statistics on Mexico are not as reliable or on the same level.

"The Worst Transit System in North America" >Second in ridership only to New York Lol, okay

i love this manga even more now
