I liked how this felt endless.

I had 3 hours straight of back-to-back intense meetings on various aspects of satellites destroying astronomy with different groups of people. This dishcloth I knitted during the meetings expresses my sentiment perfectly.

New, by me: Felons, Fraudsters Flog Offensive Cybersecurity Startup

A cybersecurity startup dangling millions of dollars to acquire zero-day security vulnerabilities in popular software is run by a pair of far-right conspiracy theorists and convicted felons whose most recent ventures included fake intelligence companies and a now-defunct AI-based lobbying platform they operated under assumed names.

When I was let go from my job for budget reasons, I started taking all the good stationary home. We probably have enough to see both my kids through school and beyond, ex-colleagues were confused why they could never find a biro. No regrets.

Good News Updates-1.

🚨“ICE is now even WORSE”
ICE murders another innocent in Texas & LIES again
Its arrests have doubled, its budget has tripled, its illegalities have multiplied.
There will be justice

"Democratic Socialists of America, known as the “DSA,” a far-left organization"

Cant be the only one who finds it funny the DSA, an electoral project, is considered far-left

Media is still pretending to not know about all the young politically unaffiliated who have completely given up on electrocalism, who know its a dead end, even after Kirk's assassination

We are dangerously close to drones blowing up private planes or yachts of billionaires

If anything Id argue DSA is center left project

Trump asking whether he (President Zelenskyy) would go to Moscow, who then responds:

„It is difficult to go to Moscow thanks to the many Ukrainian drones. (…) It is too dangerous.“

I almost fell from my chair laughing.

How many spaces do you leave after a period/full stop?

In my youth, I learned to use a typewriter and the required two spaces. It took me a little while to unlearn this after computers arrived, but I'm comfortable with one space now.

Hey femme Fedi-friends who know a lot about #Astrophysics, I have a friend who'd love you to read something of theirs!

Lemme know if you'd like to take a peek, or just DM @screwturn 💖

HAHAHA FUCK SpaceX just launched a nuclear powered satellite.

Sounds like this particular satellite is tiny and doesn't have a lot of tritium on board but HOLY SHIT this is a bad precedent.
