Car seat belts but you’d have to go back 70 years for their intro. I remember passengers throwing a hissy fit as recently as this century about being forced to wear them.
Don't put it off, seriously, it was a transformative trip for me. We did our best to find a balance so we spent half of the trip in Tokyo and the other half in a small island in Okinawa. And yes, the fooooood!
Would you go to Mars for free?
Well, not actually "to Mars," but you CAN learn about Mars from the experts, for free!

Sure you can, just visit Tokyo or take the bullet train between Shanghai and Beijing.

Sports Update: Slaw Dog beats Chi Dog at the inaugural Wienie 500 in a photo finish with less than a bun of space between them.
That’s super cool. Congratulations on the great piece!
🙏🏾 Thank you.
I wonder what the sweet spot is between when holiday candy stays cheap/good and when diabetes sets in.

“Colin Robinson is a day-walking [energy] vampire who thrives in an office environment where small talk is plentiful & reply-all email chains abound. [After dying & clawing his way out of his corpse’s chest cavity he grew back to full adulthood in a few short months. He is still around & annoying.]”
Now I know why it was so common in DC where I grew up!
Brings back memories. I spent time there during a blizzard, laser scanning it for use by the Department of Justice and West Virginia High Technology Consortium.

Especially now as the vision of the future appears blurred, poetry is worth your time.
Thanks @kohut.bsky.social.
Thank you for the extraordinary obituary. 🥜
Wait, they killed Mr. Peanut during the super bowl? @eboninflight.bsky.social and I just discovered what we thought was an official Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe (aka. Mr. Peanut) costume in the rafters of a local bar. I knew I should have taken pictures.

I captured this photo of the #rainforest #biome in the #Biosphere2 research facility. The habitat was used in the 80s/90s to demonstrate biological #sustainability, human space missions, and technologies.

I’m applying this to comic books.
Don’t be surprised if your YouTube suggestions start to get weird in a few weeks. And by weird I mean super messed up.
As a POC I can empathize with this. NASA web pages I developed that were mandated historically significant by the National Archives disappeared a few years ago.
It damages culture to erase stories of success. @drlucyrogers.bsky.social, I’m glad you have this and wish there were more.
Key points included:
Implement clear protocols for when humans intervene.
Use real-time monitoring systems to detect anomalies
or deviations from expected behavior.
Ensure systems can fail in a way that minimizes harm
to users, data, and infrastructure.

I recently spoke at the 2025 AI Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama where I discussed “How to Prevent Catastrophic Failure When Creating an Immersive AI System”.
The US Space and Rocket Center then asked if I’d like to stay the weekend…

What kind?
It’s through a profound lack of empathy that this is the accepted way to make this type of American sausage.
Thankful for a beautiful morning.
