Inshallah the Texan permian basin will be emptied of all economic activity, the ford super duties will be repoed, and the society of hitlerite car dealerships will be brought to heel

reminder:

Since Avatar is back in the news, I've updated one of my craziest ship design stories. It's a real, long dive into the creation of a fictional spaceship in minute detail, accompanied by extraordinary concept artist, but also beloved spaceship designer Ryan Church. This is the story of the Valkyrie:

One of the many spaceships designed by Ryan Church that may or may not explode at some point.

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

Here is what I don't get: conspiracism is rife within the Far Right... and they want to see the Epstein Files. So posting CLEARLY, COMICALLY redacted files is in no way going to be satisfactory to most of them. Is it just damage mitigation?

Fabricating a pentagonal photonic crystal mirror that's just 200 nm thick, featuring over a billion nanoscale features (hole patterns) at a 9000x cost reduction over previous attempts: www.nature.com/articles/s41... It's meant for ultra-lightweight laser-driven lightsails.

SCP-1125-E is a memetic statement, or "self-censoring fact", focused around several prominent figures in North American and European politics, with origins linked to the now-deceased POI Jeffery Epstein.

The Expanse (2015-2022): The Rocinante, early concept design by Christian Pearce “It looks like a big chisel with a giant coffee cup stuck on the back.”

Sovereign Incident update First Assault Vehicle, a superheavy capital ship specialized in taking the pain to hardened targets in a straight up brawl, while being slower and less flexible than a First Line Vehicle There's been a handful of hopeful bugfixes and balance changes as well

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the MOST dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with OVER 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed STRONG antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

‘Bile Storm’ for Thunderfort TTRPG go check it out! thunderfort.itch.io/thunderfort-...

the fusion rocket only generates ~10x as much power as is put into it! that's a really low 'gain' - laser fusion designs like VISTA use fancy tricks like 'shock ignition' (which is sort of like... a petrol engine's spark plug, compared to diesel compression ignition) to get gains in the hundreds.

the Marshall SFC z-pinch ship design is also very fun I think, it's endearing how it's a sort of 2010s tech caveman fusion rocket with a gain barely into the double digits... cutting those massive sixty-tonne capacitor banks down to size with SMES batteries would do wonders for the mass ratio alone

Venusian sunshades. 250 million km² of micron-thick foil suspended in a careful balance amongst the sunbeams. Unfortunately due to a tumultuous history it has suffered some damages. The meagre amount of light slipping through its wounds is just enough to prevent Hell from fully freezing over. #art

SURON blitzars: arxiv.org/pdf/1307.1409 www.astro.ru.nl/~falcke/PR/b... Black holes have no inherent magnetic field, so a supramassive rotating neutron star collapsing into one must shed its magnetic field in a massive burst of EM energy. These 'blitzars' would explain single bright radio flashes.

If a spaceship has to interact with an atmosphere at some point, it's plenty justified in taking on aerodynamic shapes. #space #art by WaveLabs www.artstation.com/artwork/kDq6ox

the USA has a population of 348,109,673, and every day I think about how we managed to select the actual worst one of those people to hold the codes that control the apocalypse

More from the backlog -- not quite sure when, TBH. This one is pretty old but has held up reasonably well.
