Just a pinned tweet verifying that I am greatscottlp.bsky.social on Blue sky if you want to follow. Going to see about switching over once I'm able to rebuild my follow list over there.

@LPPAorg @LP_CLC "took over" is doing a bit of heavy lifting. Passenger rail would have completely disappeared without Amtrak ALSOOOOOO are heavy subsidies to highways and air travel not to blame for this? Saying planes and cars outcompeted trains is stupefyingly anti-free market actually

On this day, May 1st, 1971, Amtrak took over U.S. passenger rail service from private companies, creating a government-backed corporation to centralize control and supposedly save the industry. This nationalization followed decades of private rail decline due to regulation and competition from cars and planes and it led to chronic inefficiencies, subsidies, and lack of innovation. The move exemplified the state's tendency to seize failing sectors rather than allow market corrections. The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania critiques this state takeover, advocating for private rail to restore competition and efficiency. We believe government monopolies stifle progress and burden taxpayers. Let's privatize Amtrak and let markets deliver better service for travelers.

HBD TO US!!!! 🎈5️⃣5️⃣🎈

@PeylsX @InsiderPhD Big difference between a doctorate and an ITIL4 Foundation lol

@InsiderPhD your titles are in your profile 3x but "certs are bullshit" HAHAHAHA

Certifications that don’t teach you anything and are an expensive way to add more useless words to your CV

I’ll be honest I did not expect this to be the most controversial thing I’ve tweeted 😂

@DJSnM End of an era, sad I never got to see a successful Antares launch. One blow up? Yes. One make it to orbit? Nope lol

The recent Cygnus launch on a Falcon 9 is supposed to be the last one, this is intended to replace the Antares

Good fucking riddance to Fidesz. Can't wait to visit Hungary again soon! Have missed it a lot since I was last there in 2010

Guys, I'm serious, please call your congressman. I don't care how MAGA they are, if you are a citizen of the United States of America, it is your duty to the world: you must do it. If I can do it 3,500 miles away from the US living in the UK, you can too

Don't give in to despair - call your congressman. I used to work in Congress, if enough people call and overwhelm the office, the elected representative eventually has to pay attention. Doesn't matter the party. It's a small act. It may help assuage your conscience at the least

Unbelievably special, rest in peace Jim and thanks for the message

Vanilla ice cream, Cadbury mini eggs, and the moon fly by. Perfect end to a long bank holiday

Even in darkness, we glow. In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.

@jopper35 @ChrisMurphyCT Maybe wherever you are from that's true

@ChrisMurphyCT Happens all of the time Bozo. Senior military officers are replaced with a new Administration

It's likely that experienced generals are telling Hegseth his Iran war plans are unworkable, disastrous, and deadly. Also, Hegseth is firing a ton of experienced generals right now.

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Go Artemis! It's launch day, very excited to see this candle lit all being well

"We began as wanderers once, and we are wanderers still." Today marks the beginning of the second wave of space exploration, with 4 of our species venturing out farther than any human has gone before, seeing what no human has seen before. And with the force of this wave, just like we did in Antarctica, we will stay. It makes me happy to see Europe being part of this adventure. Godspeed my friends Reid, Christina, Victor and Jeremy! I can’t wait to feel the thunder of you leaving our planet. And even more so, to see you back on this beautiful pale blue dot in 10 days, to tell an amazing tale. @astro_reid @Astro_Christina @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Jeremy @NASAArtemis @esaspaceflight

So some unfortunate news. My aunt has suffered an aneurism in her aorta and needs life saving open heart surgery. She's several months shy of qualifying for Medicare, but has no insurance. Looking like $200k of medical debt Going to be working with @helphopeliveorg - stay tuned

@Posted_to_BAOR @dave_plane @eggsinasquare @SimonLock74 @ShashlikNo1 Why is it that everyone is a profound cunt whenever a picture of a breakfast is posted in this country?

@Posted_to_BAOR @dave_plane @eggsinasquare @SimonLock74 @ShashlikNo1 Not pictured, the other half of sausage my wife wanted to enjoy but you go off I guess!

HALF AN EXTRA SAUSAGE. Right, you 'orrible little man, HALF WAY UP THE HILL you go, which is the top in my book….. @dave_plane @eggsinasquare @SimonLock74 @ShashlikNo1 #onesausageonly

Had breakfast for lunch. British food rocks (Yes, I know it's not a full English, we didn't have mushrooms or beans around lol)

That no one is moving to impeach Trump over this illegal catastrophe is an indictment on all of us as Americans. Shame on all of us, myself included.
