These bills are designed to murder queer kids, that's why decent people oppose them.

To be clear, I have never experimented with protomater. Especially not for the purposes of forced terraforming of already inhabited worlds. I will not be taking any further questions at this time.

To be clear, I have never hunted human beings for sport, nor for meat. Especially not for meat. I will not be taking any further questions at this time.

It's always "Israel tests ceasefire by launching missiles at hospitals" and not "ceasefire ended after Israel double-tapped a preschool"

Men will invest literally trillions of dollars in time, resources, conceptual energy, and paradigmatic drive in science fictional ideas which we as a species have not even one millionth the sociotechnical capacity for rather than go to therapy.

Trump was elected in majority because of very bad reasons for which i hold a lot of people morally responsible

But the whole "you can't describe what he does because it's so stupid and evil that it defies common sense and no one believes you" effect is really demoralizing

For me, it's that he spent the last 4 years of his life pursuing Ona Judge who successfully escaped him: placing ads, sending agents to track her down, etc. I like thinking about that.

It's antisemitic of you to notice that they protested and rioted for the right to rape prisoners.

Is that Mel Brooks in the blue sweater that he's talking to?

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction.

It’s abuser behaviour.

It's not played up at all, it's just that these daring, intelligent, and companionable people (who seem like real life Starfleet officers) are so starkly superior to Trump and his Epstein classmates

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Blue marble - NASA Science This spectacular 'blue marble' image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date. Using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together...

Apollo 8, Apollo 17 and Voyager 1 all took iconic photos of Earth from outside: Earthrise, Blue Marble and Pale Blue Dot. But none of these images has led to political action which ensures the protection of Earth’s environment. Photographs aren’t going to do it.

Trans women are biological women. Trans men are biological men. Please stop using the phrase “biological” to distinguish cis from trans people. Cis does just fine and you’re also revealing your own ignorance of how biology works, as well as underlying inherent transphobia, even if unintentionally.

Let’s talk about how this works and why we have older devices. When I started doing cabin integration back in 2017, we actually had a 2020 launch date. We bought the tablets the crew used for Artemis II back then. To not spend as much, we limited our choice to devices that were in the ISS catalog.

International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1

Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1

This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

So that's two SLS launches before Starship ever completed an orbit of the Earth.

How's that going for you-Elon Musk fanboys?

scan of a gouache painting of Philly's mascot Gritty, a furry orange muppet with wild eyes, as a wrathful deity crowned with gold flames, dancing on modern imps of ignorance and cruelty, on the Columbia bridge over the Schuylkil, in front of a burning Cybertruck in the river, flanked by offerings of pretzels and Tastykakes. It holds up a progress flag on a hockey stick, a middle finger, a sprig of ginkgo, a big cup of Wawa coffee, one empty blessing hand, and a molotov cocktail ready to throw. The sky is pastel dawn colors over Fairmount Park.
