Oh I’ve been to that basement show! Good times, cheap tequila shots on the bar made out of stolen Home Depot pallets.

My battle jacket still smells like Parliaments.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

They were the only ones with experience in elastic materials who could make the space suits flexible enough to actually work it. Every stitch was by hand for Apollo.

Thanks Canada for sending your own best!

She also commanded the ISS and spent something like 400 days in orbit. Her life is smashing the ceiling.

Specialist Clawson can shoot. Hope he continues when he leaves the service.

Photojournalists matter. Skill is more than clicking a button and Specialist Clawson *nailed* this shot. (I guarantee you he danced around the room after dumping this card)

Yesterday I worked from a library and realized on my way out I could stop and see a Gutenberg Bible for free without even going out of my way. Then I got on my bike and saw Cave of Forgotten Dreams in 3D IMAX four blocks away.

There’s maybe five cities in the world where that makes sense as a day

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

Wildly poignant journalism by a truly fucked up unreliable narrator. HST I can be 100% sure would have loved this piece.

Just to say, he grew up in Queens, how... oh right, he's literally lost his memory.

"Say with me 'bo... de...ga....'"

Anyone who says "AI writes the majority of our code now" is a fool and moron. Please point me in their direction so I can raise a fund to short sell the *shit* out of them. The last three hours alone have shown me how incompetent even @anthropic.com's best models at the highest reasoning are.

Was there ever a point nurses wore hat with scrubs? (No, outside of surgery and such)

Also any argument for it outside airwaves frequency argument is immediately anti 1st amendment to the point where it’d get 9-0 at SCOTUS

No I wouldn’t because it’d include language such as “any idea distributed via electronic means” which would kill the internet. The point of both doctrines was that the airwaves are publically owned so therefore should not be monopolized by an idea. Cable and internet are not that.

The fairness doctrine only ever applies to broadcast television (it’s one of the loop holes CNN exploited when it started).

Most recently it was used to try and kick Jimmy Kimmel off the air because ABC does OTA broadcasting still. Why do people hold on to the fairness doctrine as a panacea still?

Artemis 2 before splash down with a small sailboat in the background.

Imagine being on that boat and seeing four navy fast boats come screaming toward you while a space ship falls out of the sky?

Many of the most insufferable people I know are really into “comedy” as an excuse to have snark as a defining personality trait.

Even Jason Bourne is far from glorified (it’s not close to reality obviously)

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

Don’t call it Luna…

The EU has stepped up well. France has launch capabilities, UK is working on it. If Ukraine wasn’t at war I wouldn’t sleep on them teaming up with Poland and making some strides.

Literally none of this makes sense from a geopolitical perspective. Russia and China mostly hate each other. Pakistan sorta hates both of them for various reasons and none of them have any cultural ties to speak of aside from selling and stealing military intelligence between them.

Trust me. It’s just as bad at code.

This is absolutely untrue for anything not rote. I use Claude but the code it writes is *never* good enough for production backends. If you try it on any non memory safe language the code it writes leaks like a sieve because heap management is *hard*. (Most readers here don’t know what a heap is)

Not having Noem in charge certainly doesn’t hurt the situation.

This aligns with the catholic definition of grace and forgiveness as well. The idea of a penance given within a confession requires change. Forgiveness requires action not just belief.

It was weird that they basically retconned it as non existent in season three “it’s been 15 years since we’ve seen the borg” ignoring that they literally asked for provisional federation membership at the end of season 1

I want a slate of procedurals as copaganda but for good
