In 1928, George Orwell went to Paris because he wanted to see what it was like to be poor. He rented a cheap room, ran out of money faster than expected, and ended up washing dishes in hotel kitchens for twelve to fourteen hours a day. The work was brutal in a boring way. Hot steam, greasy plates, shouting chefs, no breaks. You stood until your legs stopped working. When the shift ended, there was just enough time to eat badly and sleep before doing it again. When he got sick, no one helped much. You missed a shift, you lost the job. Later, in England, he lived among tramps and slept in shelters because he had nowhere else to go. He kept notes the whole time… He turned the experience into Down and Out in Paris and London. The book shows what happens when life becomes logistical and dignity turns into something you can’t afford. That period stayed with him. Long after he became famous, his writing never forgot how fragile comfort is, or how fast a person can slide from being someone to being invisible.

In January 2024 work began at the base of the Third Pyramid at Giza, exposing granite casing stones sitting below the current ground level. Global controversy followed over plans to restore the pyramid's casing. The project was paused pending review and has not publicly resumed. 🔹Base never fully cleared in modern times 🔹Foundation and lower courses not fully exposed 🔹Granite casing stones sit below current ground level 🔹Much dimensional data still from Flinders Petrie over a century ago The base of the Third Pyramid has never been fully cleared. We have not fully exposed its foundation, its bedrock interface or its true lower courses. What is buried at the base of these pyramids that we have not yet been shown?

A group of guys, an Englishman, two Scots, and a Welshman aren’t allowed to have a dog according to their landlord. They spot a neighbor walking a dog and decide to email, offering to walk it whenever needed. The neighbor responds… with a handwritten letter from the dog.

This is nuts, Trump really did do exactly what Ryan Grim suggested he do hours earlier: pretend Iran's ten-point plan is a new proposal, counting on the fact that the media hasn't been reporting on Iran's demands to make it look like a new offer Tehran put forward in desperation.

⭕️🇮🇷 Iranian musician Ali Ghamsari said he would sit at the Damavand power plant and play the tar in protest of U.S. threats to target infrastructure, adding he hopes his music can contribute to “peace and to prevent the lights from going out in homes.” ➤ President Donald Trump responded Monday by claiming Iranians were pleading for the bombing to continue, and suggested Iran could be destroyed “overnight,” pointing to Tuesday 8 PM as the time absent a deal. ➤ Ghamsari has previously clashed with Iranian authorities, including being barred from performing after refusing to remove a female singer from a concert.

Pensar que no vamos “a la Luna”, sino a encontrarnos con ella en un punto exacto del espacio… es otra cosa. Todo se basa en la mecánica orbital: llegar al lugar preciso, en el momento preciso. Un pequeño error… y simplemente no pasa 🚀

What will the Artemis-2 astronauts do during the entire 10-day mission? Day by day overview: Day 1. Launch. Launch on the SLS rocket, stage separation, orbital insertion. Maneuvers around the spent stage, initial system checks, change from spacesuits to everyday clothing. Day 2. Beginning the journey to the Moon: Simulator exercises, then the main maneuver—translunar injection (TLI), which places Orion on a trajectory to fly around the Moon and return to Earth. Day 3. Preparation Rehearsals for lunar observations in zero gravity, corrective maneuver, emergency procedures training (e.g., CPR). Day 4. Course correction Second minor maneuver, communication with Mission Control, media sessions, photography of Earth and the Moon at the midpoint. Day 5. Lunar Entry For the first time since 1972, humans will be in cislunar space. Spacesuit tests: rapid pressurization, life support systems checks. Another course correction. Day 6. Lunar Flyby The main day: The Orion spacecraft will fly at an altitude of 6,400–9,650 km above the lunar surface. This distance is approximately 15–24 times greater than the orbital altitude of the ISS. Plus, the Moon itself is smaller. Visually, the Moon will look like a basketball at arm's length to the astronauts. There will be only three hours for observations during closest approach. The astronauts will take photographs and record geological data. Depending on the launch time, the Artemis 2 crew could break the record for the longest distance from Earth. Day 7. Lunar Exit Data transfer to scientists, psychological and physical debriefings. Symbolic call with the ISS crew. First maneuver of the return trajectory. Day 8. Demonstrations Radiation protection training (using water and thermal protection as barriers). Testing the Orion attitude control systems in various modes. Day 9. Preparing for reentry The last full day of the flight. Technological demonstrations, course corrections, fitting of compression suits to help the body adapt to weightlessness. Day 10. Return Final maneuver, atmospheric reentry, during which the temperature will reach 1650°C. Parachute deployment, splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off San Francisco. Crew pickup by US Navy ships.

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX i had the same thought.

NASA’s Artemis II livestream really makes you appreciate @SpaceX’s launch broadcasts. Bad camera tracking, no onboard cameras, countdown timer disappeared, NASA even showed people in the crowd instead of stage separation lol. The screen also blacked out twice during the first 10 seconds of the launch.

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2 Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon

@NASA @NASAKennedy Good luck, existing to see new chapter.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This is timely for the upcoming earnings season 😂
