Nice opinion on trans people, did a billionaire pedophile give it to you?

i've spent like all week making patches for ksp to tweak various mods to better suit my preferences and stuff

Crewed mission to the Oort cloud and back

alright man whatever

Imagine my utter lack of surprise that the guy who acts like a miniature Donald Trump in every single way has turned out to be a misogynistic asshole

Bluesky is great actually because the developers are all pathetic linkedin libertarian dweebs who have to constantly interact with their own queer leftist user base and watching them take sanity damage from it is very entertaining

on thursday they're trapping my mind in a Matrioshka brain to be tortured in a virtual hell for a trillion years, with every photon emitted by the smoldering red dwarf below being converted into pure suffering, and every fusion of atomic nuclei spilling more digital blood. a star that radiates agony

The four giant planets of the Solar System, those massive enough to retain primary atmospheres of hydrogen-helium. Their mere presences write the rules of our entire planetary system. #ACelestialJournal #art #astronomy #space #SolarSystem #planet #Jupiter #Saturn #Uranus #Neptune

the other day in ksp i did a mission where i went and grabbed an asteroid and moved it into low kerbin orbit. this ship had a TWR of about 0.0038 (~0.0375 m/s²) once docked with the asteroid. thankfully with the mod Background Thrust i could easily timewarp through all the hours of burning

i wrote a simple python script for calculating statistics for manuevers done using a q-drive/wind-electric propulsion setup. it also outputs a csv file that i can turn into pretty graphs and stuff

The worst thing about any major space event nowadays is having to endure weeks of insanely terrible takes from fellow leftists who think they have to be Woke On Space (tm)

you don't hear much about string theory these days

i've been actually playing with the parts i made for ksp, and i'm starting to think i should go back and tweak some of the balancing (on top of improving all the part models which i already had planned). feel like i might end up pissing some people off with some of the changes i have in mind, though

they should install a new kind of faucet in houses that dispenses some kind of thick nutritious fluid, so that you can quickly and easily feed yourself when you have no motivation to make actual food

A breakdown of nuclear photon rockets: cds.cern.ch/record/54144... Even with a 3 GW reactor crammed into a 20 ton spaceship, you'd get 0.05 milligee accelerations; Hohmann trajectories that requires tons of Uranium fuel, and capture burns lasting whole years.

i couldn't resist the urge (reusable single-stage launch vehicle i made today)

urge to play ksp again but i know that if i do i'll get sucked into it and won't get anything else done for like a month

My favorite binary brown dwarf system, ZTF J1239+8347! These two red-hot dwarfs orbit so closely together that one devours gas from its partner and becomes superheated with a brilliant blue glow. Handdrawn over 2 days. (1/5; see my explanation!) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZTF_J12... #spaceart #sciart

It's a shame fission fragment rockets most likely don't work because they look quite neat I think

it would be really cool if i had the ability to work on more than one project at a time

A cosmic first! 🚨 Hubble has spotted a comet that slowed and reversed its spin. Outgassing jets acted like thrusters, literally pushing it into a new rotation, shown here in this science visualization: https://news.stsci.edu/4c2u6hv

Yesterday the Indian government removed people's right to self-identify as transgender The fact that this did made no news, even on LGBTQ focused sites like Pink News is just insane.

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Today on #arXiv: - 2 papers on Haumea and Quaoar's shapes. - 5 new jovian planets found with RV and astrometry. - What if we put Mars in Barnard's Star system? - Acrux is now 7-star system. - Age distributions of solar twins and what that means for the Sun's migration.

News headline from the year 4002: exobiologists around Tau Ceti flock to witness real-time panspermia event as recent impact launches chunk of bacteria-bearing rock onto trajectory that will intersect another planet in the system later this year.

i don't like it when sci-fi media has people spending years or decades living in a spaceship travelling to some faraway habitable planet that is supposedly the only place they can live on. you're clearly capable of living in a habitat for extended periods of time, why not instead go somewhere with -

point of clarity: "epstein class" is the new name for the entire ruling/billionaire class, it is not a subset of them. they are all complicit, and their class interests are entirely wrapped up in being able to own children that they can rape.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
