Been off socials for a while Anything going on in space today

Me when someone calls someone else fat: “Cut it out, that’s disrespectful and small.” Me when my cat asks for her regular meal: “Well well well if it isn’t little miss Chonky McChonkerson here to fill her little pig mouth again”

How’s everyone feeling about being a Space Fan this week #wellnesscheck

Absolute legend www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Welp, if you were one of the many listeners who helped fund our WeMartians travel grant back in 2019 and send Áine to LPSC, you’ve now officially been personally affected by the DEI executive order nonsense. An extraordinary level of petty.

Host your own content, folks. And support independent, community-governed, and open source platforms at the same time. Hit me up if you want advice or help on building your own digital space online that zero billionaires can touch.

When you last visited Mexico, you may have sampled at least one Corona. Locals, however, know the best way to experience this culture is by having Three Coronas.

When you’re indecisive about grain

I shared some thoughts about Mars Sample Return jakerobins.com/blog/mars-sa...

Mead update! My ongoing Cyser recipe is coming out nicely, and I started a new low-alcohol batch. jakerobins.com/blog/the-mea...

After several months of climbing up the steep slopes of the Jezero crater rim, Perseverance has reached the top! The afternoon sun provides a spectacular view on landscape which the rover will explore soon! 🔭 Full panorama: www.360cities.net/image/marsro... Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

We hardly talked about space butt plugs at all

Go look at Venus and the crescent moon tonight. They’re right next to each other.

Gonna take a hiatus from the internet, just found out Dinosaurs is on Disney Plus

What happens when you really like an artist that isn’t that big

Facebook, showing me the worst low-effort garbage algo content ever: "Did you like this content or do you want to see less of it?" Me: *clicks "see less of it"* Facebook: "Ok, we'll show you less of this content...for a while." WTF

You ever have a loaf of bread so good it’s a religious experience?

Do you ever just stop and realize that narwhals are real

If you were like me, a Star Wars fan that never got in to the animated series because you don’t watch cartoons, this PSA is for you. You’re missing out on fantastic stories, incredible characters, and a deep backstory to enrich your experiences with Andor, the Mandalorian and Ashoka.

PSA: Be weary of content #scraper accounts on this platform. They are popping up in large numbers and share stolen images (i.e. without credit or permission), often for their own monetary gain and without any valuable context. 🔭 (1/6)

Is there anything more soothing to a busy mind than pressure washing the patio?

we're going live with adrian beil to talk starship and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NODS...

Such an important topic here, Eric really nailed it. There's been a lot of dogma in procurement policies (Fixed Price Good Cost Plus Bad!) but doing great things in space is a complex multi-dimensional problem. You can't just write "Fixed price" on a contract and get sudden success.

This is a super cool setup to enable search on a static web site, with great progressive enhancement, too. Clever use of WASM!

I continue to be uncomfortable with just how many asteroids zip by us inside the Moon’s orbit or even inside the GEO belt who haves designations that start with [CURRENT YEAR]

Twelve years ago today, I made the whitest looking Thai food ever

It’s really incredible to see Bluesky at the top of the App Store, ahead of some of the most popular apps out there! Keep this growth going!!

Sometimes I think about how we have an instant event like the K-Pg boundary (dinosaur extinction) that we can only precisely date within 100,000 years or so, which is also toughly the amount of time humans have spent outside of Africa.

ur not a refugee: you’ve just signed up for a new social network

I found the back cover of our TV remote chewed all to hell by the dog. I can’t find the part with the buttons and the batteries. 💀

Starting to feel more and more like Bluesky has a chance to stand up on its own two feet and not just be niche platform. I'd like that - it's a lot closer technologically and idealistically to the kind of thing I want in a social media site.

No YOU spent 15 dollars on couple of vanilla beans for a batch of mead that probably won’t even be that good anyway

We just kicked over to a new Mars Year (Ls 0), which you can see on my live Mars Time website (marsti.me). You can also input your birthday you find out your Mars birthday and get email reminders. My Mars birthday just happened to line up with the end of the year this year so I just got it!

Happy New Year on Mars! Today's the Martian equinox, bringing spring to the northern hemisphere and autumn to the southern, the beginning of Mars Year 38. www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Cat party on my roof. The orange one is approximately 184 years old and can’t see or hear.

Seeing more and more GDPR-like prompts where the only option is “Accept all Cookies”. Why bother? This isn’t compliant and is annoying to have to “choose” the only option.

Hey space folks! If you’re into breathtaking space images, here’s a list of Bluesky accounts run by talented space image processors. They share original content, no need for dodgy content aggregators on Bluesky. Let’s support and share the original sources, shall we? ;) 🔭 go.bsky.app/PUXRaYf
