@CoraCHarrington I really wish we’d get to see more of that universe.

Jupiter Ascending. If you’re a real science fiction aficionado who appreciates old pulp sci-fi, then you get it.

I really wish more Americans were aware that the USPS is the only service - the ONLY one - that can reach every home in the country. All other services rely on them for "last mile" deliveries that these other (more expensive!) services refuse (or can't) deliver to!

Are you ready? #DuneMovie
Be the first to see the teaser, live on TikTok. Tomorrow at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET

@TheLurioReport There is plenty of great science fiction being published now. qntm is incredible. Everyone in The Far Reaches compilation.

Many publishers are probably reluctant to print stories about “fascist” humans or even more fascist aliens (along with fascist humans) - to take the two examples below. 😉😂😉

Why don't they make great science fiction anymore?

I was at a party with a bunch of hedge funders (don't ask) and they were all talking about how good ChatGPT is at writing for them, as long as they take out all the em-dashes. I had to explain to them that human beings who know how to write know how to use em-dashes properly, and we also know how to spot their incorrect usage. The em-dashes themselves aren't the problem.
Bob Wachter@Bob_Wachter
I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell. Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

@MaxFagin @phalanx @SpaceAbhi No not on a plane. Max it all happened the same day you met Andy at the office and he was impressed with your very very large excel spreadsheet that can figure out any space mission. Moments before you met we showed him the ZBLAN payload one room over.

I mean, it’s got to be about a space-based AI data center somehow, right?

Andy Weir just confirmed he’s already working on a new novel. "I’m working on my next book right now… It’s science fiction, of course, and a brand-new standalone story. It's not a sequel to anything". I wonder what kind of problem he’ll strand his next protagonist with.
English
@MaxFagin @SpaceAbhi @ImJasonDunn Lol, that’s funny. I distinctly remember being told it was the other way around. Unless he was testing them! :)
English
@phalanx @SpaceAbhi Hold on! When I worked at Made In Space, someone (Mike/Jason?) told me that Andy sat next to one of them on a plane and coaxed it out that we were working on ZBLAN *before* Artemis was even written. We must get to the bottom of this immediately. @ImJasonDunn

I fucking loved Parasite Eve back in the day

I still wonder why Square decided to abandon this. Resident Evil could have a real competitor in the genre today.

@AllThingsNatSec As if we needed more evidence that MAGA is a Russian influence op.

I hope he doesn't. Both men are the very definition of being a traitor.

🚨BREAKING: Reports are circulating that President Trump is “Strongly considering” pardoning Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, and possibly bringing them in to help expose corruption inside the intelligence community. If that actually happens, it would trigger one of the biggest political and intelligence earthquakes Washington has seen in decades. I hope he does it! 🔥
English
@FXRegan @AllThingsNatSec Yeah, but the fissile material retrieval mission is the context in which this is being discussed, not more “normal” special operations like we’d expect in an active theater.
English
@phalanx @AllThingsNatSec I never implied that would be their mission. There’s a lot they could do short of that we’d never hear about.

Does she know just how big Iran is? It’s not Venezuela. Try to remember what happened at Desert One nearly 46 years ago. Things haven’t changed that much.

Sen. Joni Ernst: "We shouldn't be sending conventional forces into Iran. But certainly the use of our special operators is a tool that we will also keep in our tool belt. They can be strategically inserted ... if the president chooses to use them, good on him."

@FXRegan @AllThingsNatSec The Abbottabad mission is a fraction of what would be required to secure, locate, and extract Iranian weapons-grade fissile material, which is what is being talked about. There would be nothing stealthy or fast about it.
English
@AllThingsNatSec A lot has changed since Desert One. Just ask Bin Laden's relatives.
There may already be special operators in Iran. If not, and they go in in the future, you'll probably never know it.

Everyone is buzzing about the Moon!
This month’s featured image is a breathtaking view from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter: the western wall of an unnamed lunar crater glowing in morning sunlight, casting long, dramatic shadows across the surface: go.nasa.gov/46RqxIa

I would draw your attention to qntm’s There Is No Antimemetics Division; William Gibson’s The Peripheral/Agency (combo); and Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem and sequels but ofc ymmv

This is a smart move.
More missions means a more capable workforce which will contribute to the success of the program. Flying too infrequently increases risk. This is exciting and will keep America ahead in human space exploration.

NASA will increase the cadence of the Artemis missions to successfully return humans to the Moon and sustain a lunar presence. Artemis III will test systems in low Earth orbit to prepare for an Artemis IV Moon landing in 2028. go.nasa.gov/4aGEGua

@marsjoe I’m sure those will come right after the USG gets clawbacks for overruns on the cost-plus contracts that have been going since I was in grad school.

That and change the orbits to make it easier for HLS. Never mind that you signed up for it! Any refunds coming?

Spx's "accelerated plan" for HLS is just...focusing on it more? (If the reporting is to be trusted after all) What are we doing here
