In unfortunate news, one of the missions I work on, NASA TRACERS, is on the chopping block in the budget proposed by Trump and Vought.
A functional pair of sats that would just outright be shut off because the current federal government is anti science and anti exploration.
Falling asleep to the Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives weekend marathons playing softly in the background.
As-is tradition.
It's alive! Alive!
But we're not even gonna have midterms or something.
Using AI for this is the 'rolling coal' version of just using a spreadsheet, a calculator, a pencil and a notepad, or hiring a real human who knows how to math for a business.
It seems like knowing how to business math ought to be a requirement for a successful businessing.
Using LLM chatbots as a search engine is very nearly literally the "rolling coal" of information discovery.
I fully recognize my minority opinion, but:
It's cool inside my house, the weather is gross. I have the ceiling fan on and the box fan going in my bedroom.
I have the privilege of working from home and being about to pop down for a quick nap. These sheets are also cool, almost cold.
Heaven.
Recent developments stir the ancient memories:
That one time a bunch of nerds on a Firefly fans forum organized an unofficial North Carolina 'Big Damn Movie' Premiere Party that drew in fans from across the country.
Y'all see it, too, right?
Sometimes you have a kind of rough couple of days. Nothing catastrophic, but it knocks you off balance.
Then you get a perspective check when you catch news of other situations.
This is all pretty petty stuff, but yeah. No. I'm doing just fine. I also continue to be right, but that matters less.
Remember this Reel that went a lil viral a while ago?
Where Oxford Archaeology dug up a VERY FAMILIAR looking Roman figure which was dubbed 'the OLDEST Warhammer mini ever'?
Well guess who got to meet that mini?

Being from NC and being pretty left leaning it always gives me a headache when I find Tillis saying something I can agree with or endorse.
Every child harmed by those claiming the authority of God condemns every one of us who claim to be washed in the blood of Christ to damnation.
The guarantee of Heaven does not free us from the burden of caring for this world and all of the children of God the world over. EVERY violent act is a sin that stains us all. EVERY life cut short is OUR responsibility.
More than a hundred little girls are dead in the first run of bombings. Dozens of civilians on both sides. And as things actively keep getting worse for ALL of us, you react with excitement, glee at the idea of more death, wrapping it up in the ripped up pages of the gospel to make your orange idol.
Even if we (incorrectly) take Revelation literally, who are you to think you can manufacture the return of Christ? What kind of God do you worship that you think for even ONE second you can force Him to act according to YOUR will?!?!
Blasphemy. Bloodthirsty idolatry.
Biblical literalism and death cult evangelism has a non-zero chance of blowing up the world, but it's not going to invoke the Rapture. It's just going to kill millions of people.
Commanders in theatre are calling the war with Iran a "Christian" war.
People are almost, if not literally, salivating about the idea of accelerating the End Times.
Damn.
I have to say the Post chose a hell of a moment to lay off all their foreign correspondents

The Green brother continue to be a model for being successful, even by some measures wealthy, and finding contentment in modest wealth.
They're _fine_. So they fight for every possible way to give value back to society and the world rather than scrape for every spare cent of hoarded profit.
Mark out here embarrassing my state while also flagrantly showing the damage of gerrymandering.
