WHEN YOU PURGE THE EXPERTS, YOU INHERIT THE CATASTROPHES THEY WERE TRAINED TO PREVENT.

We are starting to see this unfold

😡😡

Many things are bad, but you don't have to be. You can be reliable and stable for yourself and the people you care about. Try to eat something, drink a big glass of water, and do one thing at a time, even if it's an email.

I know how hard and overwhelming everything feels right now. Max loves you.

Don’t the kids look at all possible colleges and pick the farthest one?
Kids these days. SMDH.

Artemis II climbed out of Earth’s gravity well, but only made it to first base camp up Mt Scoville

Said it before: as someone who uses databases to find people, search results are the *start* of finding a person, not the end. IMHO, ICE is trained how to do basic look-ups on a database (Palantir's?) but not how to fine-tune those results.

Far, far worse is how those wrong results are then used ⬇️

Surprise inspection finds ICE stuffing migrants 'like sardines' into a facility with no bed, showers Three lawmakers visited a Mesa ICE facility unannounced and found overcrowding, with 250 detainees packed into rooms "like sardines"

“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,” Rep Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said, fighting back tears. The Tucson Democrat described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “It is frightening in there,” Grijalva said. “It is disgusting.”

This one is worth it.

First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

"The abuse of women and girls is the most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on earth."

And now...after the Artemis II success...this mess.

1000 people started spontaneously chanting U-S-A in the San Diego air and space museum at splashdown And you know what? FUND AMERICAN SCIENCE. Imagine who we could be.

"Dashboard-camera video captured agents firing at Mr. Hernandez as he tried to drive away, his car lurching into oncoming traffic."

I can't believe I was arrested for impersonating a politician...

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

The myth is that this is a reorganization. The fact is it’s a dismantling, carefully worded to avoid outright lies while gutting everything that makes the agency function.

Tucker Collins is 18. A USC freshman. He went to the LA No Kings rally on March 28 with a camera. He came home without an eye. A DHS agent fired a “less-lethal”projectile that destroyed his eyeball and fractured his eye socket. He was documenting the protest and just taking pictures.

I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

IMPORTANT ARTEMIS II HOT SAUCE UPDATE

Thanks to Carlie Kollath Wells’ reporting out of Axios New Orleans (which I confirmed via email since there are two versions of the article out) ….

WE HAVE OUR LIST.

It’s these 4 pictured, plus Heinz Hot Taco Sauce!

Unexpected EHT intern alert!

This bird had gotten lost in the fog and appeared at the IRAM 30-m control room door- more than 1,500 meters above its usual habitat.

After a brief "internship," it was safely released back into nature the next morning.

How institutional emails encouraging continued applications for federal grants feel right now:

Telescopic images of Artemis II. Left, a trail against the background stars. Right, it appears as a small bright spot as the stars trail by in the background when the telescope was set to follow the spacecraft.

The scheduled observer at the SARA remote 0.6m telescope in Chile couldn't use last night, so I spent a little while following Artemis II (range 354,000 km). Left, 2m exposure tracking on stars; right, 1m tracking on the spacecraft. Much brighter than Artemis I, due to more favorable phase angle.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

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.

A Hobitess? Are there more than 3 women in that world?

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

800,000 people who died because of the lack of lifesaving food and medical aid were unavailable for comment.
