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.

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 populationβ€”say 12 million Americansβ€”engaged in nonviolent civil resistance to create real changeβ€”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.

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.

Abolition, Amnesty, Decriminalization, Open Borders You may not believe immigration restrictions are racist, but racists believe immigration restrictions are racist.

Finally, just open the goddamned borders. #OpenBorders
