Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Assumptions kill. I’m not plastering this online and do my own research form multiple sources before posting anything.

And I’m not MAGA. Please do your research

Who Makes the Most Reliable New Cars? - Consumer Reports Consumer Reports' latest car reliability survey ranks the brands, reveals how regions compare, and who makes the most reliable new cars.

I think you’re the issue. If you spent 2 minutes to google the issue, as I just did, I found this www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-rel...
Not related nor mentions the JD Power but has similar results.

It is important to know who funds the study, what its motives are, etc… But to blindly say β€œthis is a bad study” without research is blatantly lazy and trying to discredit without trying to put any work in.

If your only response is β€œlook at who funds it” without providing other information, you’re only providing 1/2 the story. Yes, it’s important to look at who finds the study, but is there other data that negates this or such?

At least you’ll know that you’ll be able to walk away from the appointment in better understanding of your health.

Moreover, why spend the time on that when you could spend the same time doing something more productive and better for your mental health!

Glad to see that @darkskyintl.bsky.social has identified Cottonwood Canyon State Park in #Oregon as a Dark Sky Park.

I’ll add another and probably bigger reason: he can’t rebrand the PR as him being the founder and pivotal reason the company is successful and leading the way in whatever industry it’s in. If Elon can’t be seen as a genius, then why do it

A fantastic account to follow here on Blue Sky is Marcia Smith of @spacepolicyonline.bsky.social. She covers everything to do with government policies for the space industry/military/and beyond.
Definitely on my daily list of people to see what they’ve published.

Microquasar SS 433 - Relativistic jets accelerating particles to extreme energies inside our Galaxy
SS 433 stands out as one of the most intriguing objects within our Milky Way. At its core, a black hole draws material from a closely orbiting companion star... Microquasar SS 433 - Relativistic jets accelerating particles to extreme energies inside our Galaxy

The recent results obtained by the H.E.S.S. experiment in Namibia on the microquasar SS 433 are summarized and explained in this very cool video: youtu.be/gsVb96q-KRw?...
