Don't we look gorgeous 💅 Taken 24 hours apart, these two satellite images from the eye in the sky (actually, the eye in space, Himawari-9) illustrate how settled the weather is across Aotearoa right now - and into the weekend ☀️☀️

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Big Backlash at Big Law Democrats: Major law firms have bent the knee to Trump—yet the influential Democratic attorneys who work at them keep collecting lucrative paychecks. AND SOME PROMINENT DEMS ARE PISSED. Including my spirit animal @neeratanden.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/big-backla...

NASA has 20+ satellites in orbit sending PETABYTES of data. Without highly trained staff, that data falls on the floor and isn’t recoverable. And just in case — no, AI isn’t the answer.

And there are potential benefits for Elon Musk. Privatization of more satellite work. The Traffic Coordination System for Space (basically air traffic control for space) shifted over to private sector.

“The budget cuts also appear intended to force the closure of Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland where the agency has 10,000 civil servants and contractors.” Well, we had a good run folks! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

I'm really stressed about what this means for satellite missions ops. We are basically going to be stranding our assets in space. That's all taxpayer money.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

❗️🇯🇵Japan has expressed interest in participating in the NATO mission command for military support to 🇺🇦Ukraine.

Now, to be fair, the Pentagon threw a little Bozos' way, too. Blue Origin got $2.4B. But the big question is _Whose_ satellites are they being paid to launch? 🤔

The Japan Coast Guard has equipped 12 of its large patrol vessels with Starlink, a high-speed satellite internet service, as of March in a bid to appeal to attract new recruits among younger generations.

What a duo of tweets.

The irony of Elon accusing everyone under the sun of profiting from some nebulous slush fund is that he himself is the recipient of $38 billion in government handouts.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B government contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Other countries are not going to flip-flop their #tariffs every 3-hrs, just because the US does. Most have serious people as their leaders, we are already out there selling to new markets.

My guess is a Depression in on the way. But that’s just me. #Smoot-Hawley

It was obvious to anyone not captured by phony tribal allegiances and wish-casting analysis that Trump’s second term would bear no resemblance to his first, when he was constrained by the serious people around him. It was clear it would be Laura Loomer all the way down.

One implication of this account: Waltz was using his personal cellphone (highly insecure!) for the Signal text chain. One has to assume foreign intelligence services have had access to all sensitive and classified intelligence during the second Trump term. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, according to the far right gobshite, we needed economic Armageddon, the threat of a global trade war, and 10%tariffs on goods exports to the US to finally get the chance to take even more risks with our prosperity and national credibility. What a total fucking nightmare. He’s completely lost it.

You just know that Trump and co will now be trying to extort billions from Taiwan. "Nice island, be a shame if something bad happened to it..".
