It's perfectly normal to encounter the idea of datacenters in space and wonder, "Why?" As an aerospace engineer who has been in this industry for ~15 years, let me try to give some historical context:

No one has yet found The Idea™ that makes space-based civilizations a profitable investment. 1/

Rodger is a good writer and you should read the stuff he writes.

Hi 👋 RFK expert here! This isn’t funny. RFK only does this when he’s in extreme distress.

I don’t know what he did in college but the only way I know how to describe literal fbi director Kash Patel’s public and professional behavior is: guy who always wanted to be in a frat but wasn’t and is now acting out that regret and insecurity in middle age, at the expense of the whole nation

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

You just hurt Cantaloupe's feelings.

a man in a suit and tie is wearing a crown and saying yeah boyy ! Alt: Flavor Flav says YEAH BOOYYYEEEE,!!!

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.

I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

They should take up reading. Start with Hamlet, maybe.

See?

Catherine de Valois funeral effigy – a slightly disturbing wooden figure with a missing arm. She has a long face, and is wearing a red dress, and her paint is peeling, which gives her a haunted statue look

Ah, 23 February — 357th anniversary of the time Samuel Pepys celebrated his birthday the way any normal person would: by grabbing the corpse of a queen consort who’d been dead for 232 years and kissing it on the mouth. Obviously 🧵

There’s more good than bad in the world. Simple as.

Related hot take/conspiracy theory:

Passionfruit is a psyop. It’s a lab-generated flavor but doesn’t actually exist in fruit form. If it does, no one has actually seen it.

@dameshek.bsky.social it’s your Batsignal

Straight up racist nonsense

Kash Patel: “Skiing is an Olympic sport.”

Secret Service: “Sir, there is something under your nose.”

E.g., I live in CA, but I’m proud as hell that this dude is the mayor of NYC

goes so hard.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social on a scale of 1 to James Bond, how much drip did Gorey have??

You do not speak for them, or us.

But you do write on Substack, making this judgey-wudgey BS pretty hypocritical.

Tapping my sign here

It’s simple: You’re assuming that declaring pride in this country means supporting the bad people. It doesn’t.

Well yeah, winning an Olympic gold medal in hockey against Canada would do that.

But so would taking my kid to a No Kings protest, watching citizens of Minneapolis fight fascists in the streets, etc.

You can allow your spirit to be quashed by jerks. I won’t.

TELL EM 🗣️

This short thread also sums it up well. Give your energy to the good, don’t get baited by the bad.

One of the goals of totalitarians is to make their presence the sum total of your life, don’t let them.

Like, both things can be true:

And not for nothing, maintaining patriotism for and pride in the good of the country is a giant thumb in the eye to the bad

For sure .. I just meant the hockey team(s)
