@HBH327788013139 @starblind1988 @annamlulis Good question by the way

@deebryan1 @starblind1988 @annamlulis Every other animal in the world rejects their babies. Not sayin humans should do that, but we celebrate disabilities instead of solving them

WATCH: Artemis II pilot Victor Glover hugs Fox News host’s baby with Down syndrome, Valentina—humanizing children like her. 80% of babies with the condition are aborted in the US This child, with an extra chromosome, is valuable and worthy of life.

@HBH327788013139 @starblind1988 @annamlulis Humans have a unique ability such as empathy and social bonds, helping us celebrate each life which fosters resilience and hope and creates supportive communities that helps challenges of raising children. There is no real perfect human after all.

@RedGnosis @starblind1988 @annamlulis I think it could be seen as desirable by different people to reduce suffering however, it’s crucial to consider ethical implications and diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities. Informed choices, support and resources is a must.

Reaching out with genuine curiosity, not trying to hurt or offend. If it were possible to somehow cure DS and other Biological birth defects from ever occurring, ensuring every child that would have been born this way would be born regular and completely eliminating it from occurring, would that be a desirable goal?

@TheLaurenChen @TYMFMO You know most of us in the fitness industry don’t use BMI anymore because it doesn’t account for muscle mass. We tend to look at visceral fat among other things.

@TYMFMO Come on now

Today was the Cherry Blossom Festival here in Nashville, which is an annual event that celebrates Japanese culture 🇯🇵🌸 After spending 3 months in Tokyo last year, I was curious to see what a Japanese-inspired event would look like in America. The first thing that I noticed, however, was that other attendees were disproportionately overweight white women. And among the people dressed up for the event, they were almost exclusively obese white women with colorful hair. This struck me as strange, because this is not what the average person in Nashville looks like. Despite being in the south, Nashville is a relatively lean city. I definitely think that the Cherry Blossom Festival itself was attracting a specific type of crowd. And I find that so curious, because these overweight, unkempt women were clearly fans of Japanese culture and esthetics, but they simultaneously couldn't have been further from embodying Japanese beauty. Japanese women tend to be lean, feminine, well-groomed, reserved, and modest. The women at the Festival were basically the complete opposite of that. It seemed like they thought they could just put on a costume and emulate Japanese culture, but what they failed to realize is that Japanese culture is considered so beautiful and desirable because it's disciplined. It's precise. It's intentional. From the looks of it, these are not values that any of these women hold dear. The image of a tattooed, 300 pound woman, with unbrushed hair, spilling out of an anime cosplay outfit is... jarring, to say the least, because it goes against so much of what makes Japanese culture Japanese. It seemed like they believed Japanese culture was beautiful, but didn't understand that that beauty took work and a certain character to achieve. Work they weren't willing to do, and a character they weren't interested in aspiring to. And the fact that this type of woman is so interested in Japan is also strange to me, considering that Japan possesses a lot of the same qualities that these women likely complain about when it comes to America. Japan is an ethnonationalist country with strict immigration. They are tough on crime. They are socially conservative. They value social cohesion and personal responsibility. These qualities are all strengths when it comes to Japan, but these women, once more, all but certainly oppose such practices in America, failing to understand that Japanese success isn't an accident. It's specifically thanks to these policies. In any case, I don't share these thoughts to body shame anyone, but rather to note how, despite their apparent interest in Japanese culture, western liberals are essentially its polar opposite. Esthetically, politically, and socially.

@jakeshieldsajj Please tell me this is satire, because it was already open before. The only thing you can lay claim on, is the fact that you helped close it to the rest of the world. Which is pretty stupid

If Trump is able to open the Strait of Hormuz he will be the greatest president in American history No president before him even attempted to negotiate to open it You are playing chess while the president is playing 5D chess MAGA for life

@starblind1988 @annamlulis What a horrible thing to say. They have just as much right to be here as you. Difference is, they obviously know more about compassion than you do as you can tell per video, whereas you are just simply cruel.

@annamlulis Not really if you can tell it’s damaged long before birth why bring it into the world ? Absolutely pointless most of them have less awareness than a dog it’s just cruel

@LRINTJ1 @LionelMedia So you just wanted to post your photos?

@deebryan1 @LionelMedia You may have understood my comment. I never implied that. I knew the reasons although I have no respect for what they’re doing since it is a fraudulent agency.

What exactly did Artemis accomplish?

@LionelMedia An entire plethora of testing, nav testing, propulsion, life support, systems and procedure testing and much more for future missions ensuring future missions can be executed safely

@LRINTJ1 @LionelMedia Believe it or not, their main mission wasn’t for photography reasons. It was crewed test flight, planned tests systems and procedures propulsion, nav systems, science for future missions

@LionelMedia Exactly! Fancy photos? I took these from my balcony with an $1100 camera

@medoliyy It is a good question. The sun illuminates our sky because we have atmosphere that enables light to scatter. Meaning it reflects off particles. Space has limited particles because it’s so vast. Also light travels on a straight line.

Saçma sapan bir soru sorabilir miyim? Güneş ışığı neden uzayı aydınlatmıyor?

@PatriotPlanner1 @seanhannity Maybe if you didn’t start wars, no one would be in this position in the first place… just a thought!

@seanhannity The funny thing is the europeans want the US to go to war for ukraine a non nato state and IS wanted europe to go to was for Israel another non nato state! Either way both are corrupt and compromised

Gen. Jack Keane says President Trump will confront NATO allies who failed to support the U.S., warning relationships will change even as the alliance itself remains intact: “So I think what the president will do here is, certainly, he’s going to wire-brush Mark Rutte, who he has a very good relationship with—they kind of like each other, to be frank about it. I’ve gotten that feedback from both of them. But he’s going to confront him over how appalling this really is. And I think the relationship with those countries who refused to help us—the ones I mentioned—is likely to change as a result of this. I do not think the president will pull out of NATO. I think he understands that there’s still value in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. They are moving in the right direction, with some exceptions, by increasing their defense budgets and capabilities. And it is OK to deal with the countries that clearly let us down so profoundly. But the warning has gone out.”

@plnetofcrepes @Amockx2022 At least he’s not causing the entire world to suffer unlike some

@Amockx2022 Because he cares so much about his country he is allowing it to be taken over and invaded and arresting British citizen for speech crimes. What a POS.

@GuntherEagleman I think you need professional help.

@digijordan Then you don’t understand photography and that’s ok. Thats why not everyone can be a professional photographer just like some don’t understand other jobs and that’s why they don’t do them.

Not one star. 60 years of technological progress with cameras… And not one star. I’ve heard all the explanations for this… None make any sense.

@KalebTheSocrat High iso, wide angle lenses - corners are distorted indicating this. As the craft moves, the stars do not shift frame quick like here on earth. Instead of focusing light they focus on dark.

Now this picture is actually physically impossible to capture at 18,000 mph. This requires an open shutter which with any movement or disturbance will mess up the entire image. No getting past this. This is a test of our intelligence. All the stars should be streaking similar to a normal timelapse taken of Polaris in the opposite direction the “space craft” is moving.

@Godzillin88 @AmandaER46_2 @naomirwolf They are modified D5 and Z9’s. Also the choice of lenses make a difference as well as the scripts for it

@deebryan1 @AmandaER46_2 @naomirwolf They use d5 which is 9 years old now. Really nothing special at this point

@copyright4001 @3YearLetterman There’s a difference between satire and spreading false information. He should have picked a subject that isn’t raging the world right now

@deebryan1 @3YearLetterman It was a brilliant troll. Irony & satire are hard to pull off online.

We have almost 1.5k glorious replies, many from angry Redcoats

@Godzillin88 @AmandaER46_2 @naomirwolf The sun does play a role in part. The far side is lit too when the moon phase is in new moon. Either way, they still use higher spec cameras for it.

@deebryan1 @AmandaER46_2 @naomirwolf Or, or it just might be the freaking Sun

@AntonioSabatoJr Because they are travelling further than Apollo 13 and also speed decrease at particular times and then Artemis is flying a longer wider loop.

You have to admit it’s a good question.
