Iowan, veteran, rocket scientist, husband, father, nerd. Not necessarily in that order. Life is a co-op game. Build each other up when you can. There's already too much PvP in the world.

Go home and have a drink, Pete. Know your limits. Apparently giving a coherent, useful speech is beyond you.

It'll take years and billions of dollars for this kind of move. Huntsville doesn't have the infrastructure in place for Space Command. Hopefully by the time it starts going, a sane administration will be in charge and will (again) cancel this pointless move.

I used to work for Boeing. This feels too real to be the Onion.

The same progress they're vehemently against and trying to roll back at every possible opportunity.

Former IC contractor here. At least 40 of my friends who stayed in have had their clearances revoked and "reasons" have been paper-thin bullshit. This administration is performing an ideological purge against anyone who isn't a mouth-frothing MAGA nutjob and they're doing it to our intel community

Exactly this. I worked for a 3-letter agency a few years ago and a lot of my friends from those days were fired for having the audacity to help folks in marginalized groups. It's beyond the pale to have this Signal fiasco happen after so many qualified govt workers were fired for doing nothing wrong

Pretty sure he's the kind of guy who avoids interacting with anyone like that at all costs and assumes they'll just die off.

That smug asshole keeps looking at the camera like "Hur hur, can you believe this, chat?" and I just want to slap that mug into his teeth.

So, since prices aren't being "slashed" as promised "on day one" & knowing Trump lacks the competence to bring inflation under control, how long before we start seeing gaslighting about how inflation "is good, actually"?

Don't waste your time on people who:

-John Brown would've shot
-General Sherman would've set on fire
-General Patton would've marched over
-Trump would've (or has) pardoned

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

On the contrary, there are many deaths that are funny (Segway CEO riding one off a cliff) and more to come that will be incredibly cathartic ([insert oligarch here]).

You ever just throw a few hundred hours into a thing immediately after starting it?

This is my roundabout way of saying I'm playing Satisfactory. Help.

Just got back from watching Sonic 3 with the family. Great, fun movie. Sega's really been doing well with this run of films and it looks like they may be doing another. Looking forward to it!

Careful. The Feds might throw a terrorism charge at you for saying such things.

Built myself a Nekusar deck for Friday Night Magic this week and had an absolute blast with it tonight. Got an alter for the commander coming in next week to really drive home the focus of the Faustian bargain of the deck: "Wanna draw some caaaaaaards?"
It will go quite well with my Alastor playmat!
