"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."
@thisisspiffy.bsky.social excellent finale. Loved the starship cameo and the quotes/pictures in the credits.
Commentary: Fifteen years after 3/11, we need to reassess the importance of sustained engagement in disaster recovery.
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
Did you ever print out your new shuttle?
Running my home scope tonight. Bumped into Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 89830 up near Ursa Major. It was discovered in 2002 by the LINEAR survey. This is a huge PHA, with a diameter of ~5km. 🔭
Definitely appreciate the unique look.
These would be great as car decals.
They added cushions in later episodes? Can we get a floor plan? Probably the best ready room in live Star Trek so far.
AND the bookshelves. Would love to walk around that set.
Asteroid 2024 YR₄ will NOT hit the Moon.
JWST observations refined the orbit, dropping the lunar impact probability from 4% to zero.
Independent researcher Sam Deen had already reached the same conclusion using 2016 precoveries.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
The Lunar eclipse, which just began, would be a solar eclipse if you were on the Moon. Here's a view from the Moon.
Gut feeling? Days, weeks, months? Or are we in another forever war?
Take out the eyes. Then launch the big stuff?
Reposted from @hamidrezaaz.bsky.social on X because it's the only analysis of Iranian strategy I've seen that seems to think they may actually have a plan.
Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.
He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.
I noticed in last weeks episode the feathers of the nacelles going from “flight” mode to stored mode.
Do you have the set blueprint for Nala’s office?
Repeat after me:
An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.
Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections
Strip away the futurist gloss from Oz’s answer for rural America’s mental health crisis, and the message to 60 million rural Americans becomes stark: Your suffering is rooted in disconnection from other human beings, and the federal response is you should talk to a robot. trib.al/v16kp1t
Trump doesn't care about farmers. He doesn't care about anyone except himself.
Farmers are going bankrupt?...Trump says: oh well, nobody to blame but yourself, you should have worked harder
You can also blame Democrats because they are against Trump's trade war that is killing farmers in the US
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level
The formation of glycylglycine, a simple peptide molecule, is possible under non-aqueous interstellar conditions, according to laboratory experiments. Thus complex organics with biological relevance may pre-date planetary accretion. http://dlvr.it/TQnQwJ #astrosci
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Would love to be in the data files and see how many people queued up “The Visitor” after this episode.
“Thank you Avery”
@thisisspiffy.bsky.social um is that teacher in the preview who I think it is? Cardassian?
