"In reference to the unexpected deaths of his fellow authors, Wilcock remarked, “I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing.”

Amen, Brother. It’s going to be right wing societal beatings until the US “socialists” actually organize about something real. For now, it’s fascism all the way down.

Lol “perpetual stew”.

To be honest, I don’t think these types of questions serve to do anything but alienate ppl. It doesn’t really matter if you are a concrete pourer or an upper echelon administrator. As long as you realize what side of the class divide you’re on, then how you “feel” about certain workers is completely irrelevant.

Agreed. If you get an instant pot that is part airfryer, you will be set

Instantpot. I live in a teeny studio apt and the Instantpot puts in work daily.

“But we’re pushing the party left”

Does is say “we don’t want Russian gas”?

He makes a lot of promises and gets a ton of government funding and pumps up his stocks. For example; the catchable booster is cool but it was not invented by him and his promises of giving boosters a turnaround of 24hrs or something is wildly absurd. Also, the Starship HLS has been delayed repeatedly and it was promised to carry thousands of pounds into space when it has repeatedly exploded while carrying no weight. These are just a couple of things and despite the failures, he continually wriggles out of consequences whilst pumping up stocks with bullshit.

If you want painfully nuanced analysis and critique of SpaceX, check out @commonsenseskeptic on YT. You can also check out thunderf00t who is more controversial due to a reactionary past.

Yes, I am biased. Fuck Elon Musk and his shitty-rocket-embezzlement-scheme SpaceX.

Genuine question: Is artemis II a “Fuck You” to Elon Musk bc his shitty rockets cannot get out of orbit with 0 payload while the government builds one and sends it around the moon with people? Did Musk and the govt collaborate or what?

I can’t get view it. Any statement on how bad it is?

It’s also TACO day

I am wondering, tbh. He is normally pretty unhinged but this was another level. Quite bizarre.

That’s the first service to be officially removed. We will see what happens to the rest.

Had a diet soda after work yesterday. Just sat down right now after getting home from work and am craving one intensely.

There is no way something so yummy and habit forming is consequence-free.

Learned something new!

Magpie or crow?

IDK if they even made the virtual one a reality yet.
