Artemis 2 countdown clock is now counting down.

libs just won IT phishing test emails in the culture war

I think a furry rave underneath Space Shuttle Atlantis at the KSC VC (à la Yuri's Night) would be sick as hell and well within the realm of the possible, but that's unfortunately far too adjacent to my actual real life job for me to have any significant role in organizing.

damn, i just knew i was forgetting something!

it happens

imagine being a RETVRN guy but for 'cursive in schools' instead of cool ass translucent electronics

I think "Midwestern spring" is my new favorite smell.

The No. 1 reason aviation is so safe is that there are at least two of absolutely everything, redundancies on the redundancies. No single human should have ever been expected to perform this perfectly, it isn’t possible and shouldn’t even be legal. We need hearings now.

the only thing i did successfully today was exist

this would be a great place to die

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Open the strait. Stop letting it be closed.

geopolitical equivalent of racking the slide on a shotgun to get everyone to chill the fuck out unfortunately they're dealing with the two countries where "I thought he had a gun" will let you get away with murder

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

One of the funny things that keeps happening in spaceflight is that the RL10 just will not die out. Every time that someone has tried to replace that engine with something better, Aerojet just makes a better RL10. Anyways you'll never believe what Aerojet did again lol.

Riding Through the Thick of It. Minneapolis, Minnesota

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification. you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

Found some old DINOSAUR photos tonight. Turns out the closure did not, in fact, provide closure.

I would kill for a re-render / remaster of the POP/STARS music video at native resolution (no letterboxing) in proper HDR10. My minimal 3D HDR experience tells me this would be a huge pain if the project wasn't designed for that from the beginning, but wow would that be a great HDR test video.

Holy shit I finally got to see it in person!

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Sometimes you just have to go. Letting the birdsong call your broken heart home to the starlight that birthed you.✨ Feeling this piece rather strongly today.

Did you attend TASKMAST:3R at MFF on Thursday night? Do you have ANY videos from the show?! Send them to me! We'd love to include them in the final episode! DM me here or on Telegram (@astroftl) and we'll coordinate!

MFF finally broke my streak of like 6 cons in a row where I didn't bring my camera. I admittedly took VERY FEW photos this past weekend, but the few that I did I'll try to get online this week!

Genuine question for people who want to disable bookmarks: is it just knowing that someone has saved it that bothers you? Because anything posted publicly can be bookmarked (in browser) or saved / downloaded regardless, without you knowing. At least with the bookmarks feature, you know about it.

Thank u, good night

Reminder: this TASKMAST:3R poster (signed by the whole cast and crew!) will be available in the LIVE auction, 11 AM Sunday in... well would you look at that, room 33!

Guess I had a lot of stress (both mental and physical) because basically as soon as we wrapped up TASKMAST:3R I started feeling debilitatingly run down, and spent the whole day bedridden. Worst part is I missed @heysyri.yeen.world at a hometown show and that REALLY sucks.

Mixing TASKMAST:3R was stressful... Can you tell where my faders and mutes were?

UPS once again dramatically fails at delivering something critical on time. At a certain point I feel like it becomes my fault, for having unearned faith, and for spending money on "Next Day Air" like it was ever going to actually do anything.

You can never be too prepared. Catch TASKMAST:3R at 9:30 PM TOMORROW, Room 33 at MFF!

@furfest.org will Thursday panels require badges?

ONE WEEK UNTIL MFF! If you're looking for something to do on Thursday night, why not check out TASKMAST:3R? midwestfurfest2025.sched.com/event/2AEcJ/...

If you’re planning on coming to MFF please come see me and my friends in kickoff production of TaskMast:3r We put our heart and soul into this. and are giddy to show it off.

Furries, #Taskmaster fans, and #MFF2025 attendees, HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT: me and my friends have spent the past year making an episode of Taskmaster that we will be recording at the con!! It's gonna be real silly and if you can make it we'd love to see you there and make ya laugh!

Zootopia 2 was so incredible. I'm sure over time and rewatches I'll form more complex and nuanced opinions but right now I'm kinda just basking in it

Developing a parasocial relationship with my editing subject (@clicky.coyote.fm). Anyways, come see TASKMAST:3R live at MFF, Thursday at 9:30 PM in DESCC room 33!

So for the past few months I've been working on TASKMAST:3R, a panel at I'm helping put together for this year's MFF! Tonight's project: a wax stamp logo! I ended up doing it in Blender, so I couldn't help myself from putting a quick little animation together...

🩷 HOME SWEET HOME 🖤 🐶 HEY SYRI! @ MFF 2025 🐶 ⏰ FRIDAY NIGHT 1200 AM ⏰ 🔥IT’S GONNA GET HECTIC🔥 @furfest.org #Furfest2025 #MFF2025

I wonder what's causing all the horrific industrial accidents. Anyway, here's a picture from 2016 of Trump complaining about regulations before cutting as many as possible

Self immolation 1, a visual experiment

If ya need me, I'll be in the Ikeachee bin! q.p

I'm in the market for a new keyboard. TKL, excellent build quality, and open firmware. I've heard decent things about Keychron, but this on their homepage is just embarrassing.

Marble Countertops: I'm dirty, you should clean me. Me: But I can't see anything, where is the mess? MC: Better just clean everywhere. Me: How will I know if I missed a spot? MC: :)
