Somehow I missed this, but a worker *died* at the spacex facility in Texas. It's classified as an "accident" but there's no coincidence- spacex has 6x the worker injury rate compared to other aerospace companies. Until we regulate them, oligarchs will always prioritize power and profit over people.

saw a bunch of people on here confidently declare that the democrats would "rotating villain" find another no vote to join fetterman rather than pass this!

big if true

People liked to complain about the modern bureaucratic state, but personally, I miss it.

I do think that the exact $1.766B amount is notable. because they aren’t even trying to pretend there’s a specific amount owed to the rioters. They’re shoving in our faces they can pull out arbitrary billions from the treasury and dole it out to their treasonous accomplices.

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

Normalize being a try hard 🫵

Infinite growth in a finite system is totally sustainable. I see no problem with this.

I lived in Austin for 5 years and after eating a near infinite number of breakfast tacos my preferred order was potato egg and cheese Anyway why are we talking about this when his opponents are fascists

not enough people are talking about how LA Metro is building more rail than any other transit agency in North America and the projects that will be completed over the coming decades (coupled with SB79’s automatic upzoning around transit hubs) will revolutionize the city

If we want to Zohranify LA, we need a city council supermajority. The only way to do that is electing @faizahforla.bsky.social to CD11, and in the process knocking out the only MAGA city councilor. The election is June 2nd. If you can, donate to her fantastic campaign here:

So turns out that new bullshit "Cowboy Space Corporation" company is co-founded by a Robinhood founder. They want to launch thousands of satellites that have NVIDIA GPUs and also somehow beam power down to earth? Hopefully space isn't completely unusable by the time we get power back.

It is irresponsible to write an article like this without calling out the obvious, rampant corruption that led to an "accelerated federal regulatory review" Elon literally just flew on air force one and then all of a sudden the spacex IPO just magically moves up, no coincidence there

Remember when we found samples that could possibly prove life existed on mars and then we defunded the mars sample return mission? Yeah me too.

Not me, us. Thank you Bernie Sanders for your endorsement!

“The abrupt withdrawal of USAID led to a significant and sustained increase in conflict across Africa’s most USAID-dependent regions. The findings demonstrate that large-scale, sudden aid cuts can destabilize fragile settings.” Prosecute Musk and confiscate all of his assets.

One of the best things I've seen in a while.

I love that in new scammy America we're just bringing back the fake ruby mines hustle from the 19th century. Trump is gonna give a government contract to Space X for this and get his cut and Musk is gonna cash another taxpayer check

If you live in LA, it is essential that you talk with your friends and get them to vote for Faizah

Nationalize SpaceX and disband xAI

*stares longingly in los angeles*

I think about this all the time. Absent >99% light speed travel, aliens arriving to Earth would be generations removed from their home world. Have to imagine any delegation aboard would be extremely one or more of the following: pale, smelly, feral, weird, dead.

tech ceo: we regret to inform you that the torment created by the Torment Nexus is the fault of the depraved author of beloved novel DON’T CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

If you are paying for Claude and you claim to care about astronomy or the night sky - think again. 🔭☄️ SpaceX's orbital data center plans would *ruin* ground-based astronomy & the night sky. Anthropic are partnering with them.

flat earth is one of those things where if the conspiracy is true you should just let them win. *every* government with a space programs is in on it as well as *all* astronomers ? what do you think could prompt that level of cooperation? they've got reasons. leave 'em alone.

Nationalize SpaceX so Elon can’t use it as a cover for the bankruptcy of his other failures.

For those who haven’t seen the absolutely bonkers video of Curiosity shaking off a slab of bedrock stuck to its drill, here you go. If you’re new to following me, I used to work on the robotic arm and drill subsystem. Looks like maybe they’re missing me a bit ;)

Soon SpaceX will IPO and make this genocidal white supremacist the first ever trillionaire. Democrats should be open now about a plan to nationalize his assets and put him and all of his enablers on trial.

In case yall haven’t seen Le Guin’s opinion of Harry Potter and Rowling

Leaked image of the person on shift for SA-SPaH (sample acquisition - sample processing and handling) that day

This is the type of cool shit that happens when you’re brave enough and stable enough as a country to just build stuff and send it across the solar system.

"How many degrees of freedom?" "All of them." Had to watch it a couple of times, totally wild. Looks like your equipment is getting the job done 👍

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

Every time I’m downtown and walk past the fenced-off LA Times building, situated just perfectly between all these halls of power, where a local story could be chased down by just walking down the block, I get real pissed Private equity and the billionaire class really fucked us

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

The White House has proposed a 30% cut for NOAA’s budget—a decrease of $1.6B Then they turn around and request $1B for ballroom security upgrades
