If that's true they'll veto the CR. You're not standing in their way.

Trump can just veto. This is asinine.

Whatever is currently happening through normal channels in congress and the justice system does not matter. What matters is who removes Elon and how soon.

We've seen this happen in other countries. We didn't think it would happen here. It is happening here.

I rarely visit here since the platform isn't a good fit for me, but:

Look folks, the US is currently in the middle of a coup. Either this ends with Elon as our new dictator or this ends with some group outside the president-level power structure removing him through force.

This is gorgeous. If you wanted to spend the time (not asking you to) I would totally read a blog/post about what each image is and inspect the full image, that is how awesome this is

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’–

It's amazing how many cultural expectations you can internalize while still being a non-conformist.

Want to talk to someone without a soul? Which, I suppose, just means "someone"?

They put crenellations on their parking garages. "Conspicuous consumption, but pretending to be medieval Europe" is the entire theme of their campus.

It's not a financially motivated decision.
