If you need an hour and forty minute break from whatever hellscape this message finds you in, you could do worse than listening to my friend Tola and I talk about the Fantastic Four movie that came out last year themontehalleffect.fireside.fm/16

Glaze said they won't choose Artemis III crew for a while. Need to "pick the right crew for the right mission." I asked if that was a reference to which HLS they'll use and she said yes, will make a difference in training. Plus need to refine what work NASA wants them to do on the surface.

Interestingly, Lori Glaze says crew and training for Artemis III will depend on whether they use a SpaceX or Blue Origin lander.

#NASA #ARTEMISII #WDR - Marcia Smith asking about the crew of Artemis III and wanted to pick the right crew for the right job and the public seems unaware that we're going back to the Moon? Glaze - we'll have either the Blue Moon or Starship vehicle that will make a difference...over the nxt yr...

It's easy to believe the world is full of hate, to feel overwhelmed and that change is impossible. But 150 yrs worth of data show it takes just 3.5% of a population—say 12 million Americans—engaged in nonviolent civil resistance to create real change—even the fall of administrations. This is doable.

Oh my. Way too many NASA disasters have been due in some part to faulty communication and a culture of pushing too hard. It's very troubling this is still happening, long after the lessons of Challenger were so tragically taught.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Also - I know somebody mentioned in this article, and now they’re cut off from my life.

It's nice to see that when DEFCON says "Don't support rapists" they really mean it. techcrunch.com/2026/02/18/h...

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

On this day in 1998 - The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Far Beyond The Stars" directed by Avery Brooks (Benjamin Sisko) premiered. Rather than try and find a single quote, clip, thought... I'm just gonna post the whole episode because it's that damn special. (1/15)

Finally, just open the goddamned borders. #OpenBorders

racist, and fundamentally undemocratic; a reproduction of the serf-tied-to-the-land model writ large & complicated. countries should be competing for citizens, not shutting them out.

ICE is still abducting people. ICE is still arresting peaceful observers. ICE is still gassing people. ICE is still showing up at grade schools. www.cnn.com/2026/02/08/u...

A reminder that using Substack for paid newsletters supports their mission of also taking money from Nazis: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f... I absolutely understand that some people depend on the Substack newsletter model for their livelihood. Eventually, Substack will fall. Migrate or plan.

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined). daily.jstor.org/asimovs-empi...

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Another vivid reminder that “the federal budget” is all just made up numbers in a spreadsheet somewhere. Oh, we can’t afford healthcare or a Post Office or a space program or repairs to roads or maintenance of the bathrooms in National Parks! It’s all intent, not math.
