@fellowlucky17 @lindayaX @EliLillyandCo Yes, the tiny fraction of people who get that will be so much worse than the much larger group of people with diabetes, heart disease, and other metabolic disorders. Dumbass!
English

@lindayaX @EliLillyandCo Because more people should be at serious risk for NAION, Medullary thyroid carcincoma, Gastroparesis, Pancreatitis, LADA, Bowel obstruction, Cardiac Cachexia, Sarcopenia, Osteopenic Fractures and bad breath from fetid food in the gut.
Sounds grand!

A big step forward.
FDA approval of @EliLIllyandCo oral GLP-1, Foundayo, unlocks access for many more in need.

@BellikOzan I dunno...seems like some TDS too. I feel like it the budget doubled, there would still be complaining that the right things weren't funded, or something. Or it would go back to saying money on space is a waste and we need to be focusing on climate change.
English

NASA administrator before and after he was the NASA administrator: "We should cancel wasteful programs and do more with less."
NASA: Proposes ending programs the administration deems wasteful, reducing the budget while asking for more money for a few priorities.
Online audience: 😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬🤯🤮🤬😱 "Blink twice, Jareeeed!"
I think when you all context compressed, you kept "I like Jared" and "Jared loves NASA" and tossed out the things Jared actually said about how he wants NASA to be run.

The thing that got me is that Supersize Me just outright lied, and everyone on SOME level of their consciousness knew he lied, but many of us wanted to believe it.
Similarly, there were massive outright lies in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko. For instance, in the former film, he shows Al Gore's campaign endparty, and lies, saying it's a victory party because Gore thought he'd won. And in Sicko, Moore completely leaves out the fact that at the time 45% of American health care was government-paid.
We can look at Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and while who knew then, the sea has been rising by millimeters not yards.
Going further back to Silent Spring, Rachel Carson told some doozies too.
The problem isn't the topics. Pollution IS bad. We DO need to reform American health care. Eating nothing but fast food IS unhealthy. The issue is that in each case the authors made extreme claims which were easily falsified.
I feel this really hurts their causes, because now even the things they said that are arguably true are tainted by their prevarications. I think this is a general fault of progressives. They overstep, thinking the ends justify them means, then the backlash at their overreach surprises them. If they'd said, "We should be nicer to immigrants." they could have gotten cooperation but instead they said, "bring in 8 million immigrants without vetting any." and now make the surprised Pikachu face when there's opposition.

@AJamesMcCarthy @johnkrausphotos And it's all worth it, so you could make a home for Gregory :) For real though, your eye for stunning shots is fantastic! Love your calendars too and have to work hard to keep my son from stealing my stickers of Gregory harassing the planets.

This photo has a very personal meaning for me if you care to read it.
I saw a photo from @johnkrausphotos on reddit nearly a decade ago of the engines on a Falcon Heavy launch. I was working at a tough sales job at the time. The shot inspired me to learn more about space and spaceflight.
Shortly after, I bought my first telescope. I saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Nebulae, and started social media accounts where I shared my amateur photos.
Then I was laid off, and Covid happened. Moved from Sacramento to Arizona for clearer skies, cheaper cost of living, and a chance to go all-in on space photography. My audience started to grow.
Then, NASA contacted me, asking me if they could use some of my moon photos for something called Artemis. I said yes.
During the Artemis I rollout my DMs blew up “Andrew- your photo is on the Mobile Launch Platform!”. Now I knew that astrophotography wasn’t enough… I should probably pay attention to spaceflight. I spent a lot coming out to the first launch attempt, which would be my first rocket launch if it flew. Sadly, it was a scrub.
I came home from Florida, sharing my stories of touring the VAB and facilities with my grandfather, who worked on Apollo. He passed shortly after, which affected my ability to return to watch the SLS flew.
Feeling bummed out, I focused back on my deep sky work, but then I started hearing about something called “Starship”. I caught a video from @Erdayastronaut where a rocket ship fell through the air belly-first and flipped upright and landed. Inspired, I knew I had to witness one of these machines fly, so I flew to Starbase the moment I could afford it, which was for the second fully integrated flight test.
The moment Starship lifted off the pad, I was hooked. There was nothing quite like the experience. I did everything I could to catch every launch I could, and worked to become credentialed media to get better access.
Last year I flew from Arizona to Florida & Texas over a dozen times specifically to sharpen my launch photography skills with our first human spaceflight to the moon in over 50 years looming.
A decade of preparation for a split second moment. When I picked up my camera from the launch pad yesterday morning and peeked at what was captured, I knew it was all worth it.
Thank you, NASA, Artemis, and the all people who inspired me along the way.
This is still only the beginning.

Andrew McCarthy@AJamesMcCarthy
Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad. I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

@ItsMeElisaLou The lesson is to nuke Canada, so that in 80 years time we can finally be friends

🚨HOLY CRAP!!!
The Charlotte NC judge who gave a $20k bond to a man who was CAUGHT ON CAMERA revving his car, smashing into, and k*lling an 8-year-old little girl who was riding her bike...
...IS A DEMOCRAT JUDGE WITH PRIOR CHARGES HIMSELF FOR FALSIFYING LEGAL DOCUMENTS!!!!
He served only 90 days of unsupervised probation and kept his job as a judge.
This. Is. Insanity.

I had an 82 Trans Am with the driver facing hood scoop, I took the little metal plate out so it could breathe lol. Anyway saw flames start licking up, fuel line rotted out. Good old manual injector stops when the engine does, and doesn't have much pressure. I was able to blow it out on the side of the road heh.
English

@scottastronaut Best fix that before that manifold gets hot enough to ignite that fuel. Speaking from experience here.
English

@monsterhunter45 @jmgwritten No, no. I need to hear from a literary critic what you meant, I can't trust your own words about your own reasoning. Probably a lot of hidden meanings in there, like "Communism is good actually".
English
@jmgwritten You are so profoundly wrong.
Very specifically, every fantasy race I took from Europe, I set them up here as IMMIGRANT GROUPS.
And note that all of them adapted in different ways.
That was exactly American, by design, on purpose.
And I say that as the dude who wrote it.

This looks like it's a daytime shot, but, it's actually taken from the dark side of Earth, with the planet illuminated by moonlight. This lets faint details like the aurora, stars and the sodium layer show up without over exposing the planet.
NASA@NASA
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@KirkLubimov Straight from Hayek's road to serfdom. If you want big gov b/c you don't like the sociopaths running big corporations, just wait until you centralize the power into a single source (gov), and discover who gravitates there and ends up on top.
English

This is the best part from Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast;
"Those who push a socialist ideology have a gross contradiction in their view of human nature.
They say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they’re in the private voluntary economy, but they’re angels when they’re in the governmental economy.
They argue that the government should just control everything because then we have all these angels that will decide for us."

@kniborg @KirkLubimov (1/2)
Don’t fool yourself thinking government centralization is a moral corrective it’s a breeding ground for the very same traits you despised in corporations, just dressed in bureaucratic robes.
