while other times they utilized Musk’s association with neo-fascist presidential candidate Donald Trump.

I love that they called him what he is. I wish more in media would.

This is great, assuming Nelson or someone similar is NASA Admin after January and not Elon Musk. That’s a fucking terrifying thought.

Oh fuck off.

The fact that there are no other images of this is odd, but assuming it is at an early voting location today, perhaps they are pretending to be “ghost voters”:

As that drama played out, readers asked Snopes to look into social media posts and media stories reporting that multiple counties in the U.S. had more registered voters than voting-eligible residents. One such story was published by the Washington Times and headlined, “Judicial Watch finds 1.8 million ‘ghost voters’ in 29 states, warns of ‘dirty elections.’”

Judicial Watch, a right wing legal activist organization, claimed to have discovered in an October 2020 study that “353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens.”

Maybe a year or so or just under that?

Goddamn. What a fucking bastard.

Didn’t his Behind the Bastards have like 6 eps?? Same as Henry Kissinger IIRC.

Damn, that was 10 years ago?

First, it’s crewed or human mission - inclusive language is important! :)

I do think human exploration is important because humans can cover longer distances faster. So your overall options for exploration increase. I do think both human and robotic are important and serve valuable purposes.

It would be more complicated with humans, but I think that’s also a valuable learning experience that could lead to technology that would benefit Earth.

I do not think “colonization” or whatever term you want to use should be a priority. I think science and exploration are what we should stick to, and if your excuse for colonization is because something bad will happen to Earth so we have to go somewhere else…just spend that time and those resources figuring out how to not fuck up Earth just to go fuck up the next place.

So from someone who works in human spaceflight, this is ridiculously outrageous.

I’m not insinuating that anyone thought it was realistic, but just confirming your suspicions.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I work in the industry, and this is absolutely true. I’ve been saying give it to Gwynne for years.

Fucking finally

In Venice, about 40 miles (64km) to the south, Sherry Hall and her family decided to stay in their house several blocks from the ocean, despite many of their neighbors leaving amid warnings of a storm surge up to 15ft. Her husband, Tommy, prepared the property with shutters and sandbags, and she said they had generators, portable air conditioning units, and plenty of water and food to be self-sufficient.

Let me know how well the portable AC & generators work in 15ft of water, Sherry.

Thanks!

This looks like a cool service, but I can’t find their subscription plans/cost anywhere on the website. It looks like I have to sign up for the free trial without knowing how much I’m on the hook for if I forget to cancel in time, and that seems sus.

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service!

The leopards were gonna come for it eventually anyway.

I knew this was gonna happen. I honestly wondered a few hours ago “I wonder how many times the WH has tried to call Desantis and he just didn’t take the call to be petty.”

If he’s got legit governor stuff to do when there’s a Cat 5 on the way, I get it. I live on the coast. But I knew he would pull a stunt like this just to be a dick.

It is now!!!
