Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Who am I to question what the government says?

The thing Hegseth should be most thankful for is that he wasn’t hired for his competence.

Some branches of government are more co-equal than others.

/2 It’s the Andrew Tate Presidency: an ethos of moronic bluster and chest-thumping meant to excite meatheads and losers.

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

You can’t shame the shameless.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Ugh boats!!

New Glenn is a big one.

So that one when I was a kid really was just about how to make a fried egg then?

Heard a personality on the radio refer to this site as “Blooskie” and I can’t unhear it.

Always a space nerd classic. There’s at least one future Flight Director in there. Thanksgiving with the Kranzes

I guess the country is about to get that Economics 101 lesson they so desperately need.

Today was a good day.

Go New Shepard!

Launch date & time set for NS-28

Anyone have a good Space feed they recommend?

Excited for the next 6 humans we’re sending to space. www.threads.net/@blueorigin/...

So now all of a sudden we know how peaceful transfer of power works…

Starter packs seem pretty cool. Anyone got a Space one?

Got my ballot in the mail yesterday, put in the drop box today. Can I stop getting political texts now?

DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCEPT OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I AM UNDER? CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE MY STRESS LEVEL? CAN YOU EVEN CONCEIVE OF HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE VALENTINE’S DAY PRESENT FOR YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHEN SHE’S A BILLIONAIRE? I SPENT MY ENTIRE NET WORTH TO CLONE MARVIN GAYE, ANDY

I don’t understand why… He took that first package used it to leverage his disastrous take over of Twitter and now he wants to recoup his losses at shareholder expense.

So what Trump's lawyer is saying here is that Joe Biden could have Seal Team 6 take out Trump, and as long as the Democrats in the Senate don't vote to impeach him, then he would have full immunity for that action. Not recommending it, just saying...that's a weird argument to make.

Will be good to get back into launching. Targeting Monday morning. First launch I’ll miss in my 4 years. Will be watching the webcast on a beach in Punta Cana.

Since places where these laws are passed tend to be run by sociopaths like DeSantis and Paxton, doctors’ fears that their good medical judgment would later be second-guessed are very well founded. That’s a feature, not a bug.

What I think of when I watch the Thanksgiving parade. Helium is an important molecule and is a finite resource.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Elon Musk is a good example of the Rule of Goats: if you fuck a goat, even if you’re doing it ironically or to own the libs, you’re a goatfucker. Does Musk actually think Jews or ethnic minorities are sinister or evil or inferior? I doubt it, even to the extent he accepts other people as real. /1

The sad thing about Pence isn’t that his political career ended with a humiliating whimper. He deserves that. It’s that it ended that way because he did one thing that met the absolute minimum standards of decency and integrity. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

when you think about it, it really isn’t surprising that the Mr. Pillow guy is anti-woke

Annular eclipse… Me in the PNW

I enjoy watching all these playoff teams twist themselves in knots about the Astros. (Every post season roster has a former Astro on it) Also Twins fans there are 2 2017 Astros on your roster, Correa and Keuchel. The current Astros squad only has 3 players remaining from 2017.

So is McCarthy’s biggest legislative win a 45-day CR?

Seven years ago, we sent a ship deep into space to pick up rocks from an asteroid billions of years old and it just dropped them off in the Utah desert. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/24/s...
