I guess that's why they call it "rocket science"!?

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

I miss nightwriting.

"This is the ouroboros. The snake eating its own tail. AI writes the code. AI reviews the code. AI checks the deployment. When it breaks, the answer is more AI. The loop has no exit condition."

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls.

Why is nobody talking about this anymore?

These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

I still remember how her confirmation hearings were an education to her questioners on the nature of their jobs, just in the way she answered the questions. She’s a profound justice.

COVID probably killed 150,000 more people in its first two years than official U.S. tolls show We have severely undercounted the number of COVID deaths, scientists say

Love these library boxes 💚
