Bro isn’t in on the joke, he’s went and actually fallen for the “fiscal responsibility” bit. RIP. Obviously the bill is about two things:

• Breaking the federal government’s kneecaps, specifically with regard to constraining or affecting the wealthy in any way.

• stealing from the poor to give to the reich

That’s all the republicans have ever been about

It’s a pipe operator, not a vertical bar. Fucking embarrassing, though; I hope she didn’t need the job and called them out on it.

Patenting game mechanics is completely insane.

Well, that’s a sentence you don’t read every day

Bet she’s got some posts that go against Putin or support LGBT

Context from the article: Bernie thinks we need immigration reform so that people won’t resort to illegal border crossings AS WELL AS control over the border. This is one of those places where I’m left of Bernie. Imo, borders are tools of tyranny.

Oh, uh… So you’re just cool with the fact that you got one of your kids killed because the others are okay? You know they’re going to leave your ass alone in the old folks home when they’re adults, right?

Holy shit! I didn’t even know about this, that’s crazy!

I’m increasingly convinced that nothing will meaningfully change as long as there’s no accountability for the people making these decisions.

Oh. Oh no.

I’d be interested to see how the fab costs scale as the size of the lens increases vs the cost to scale mirrors for reflectors.

Fuck off, Atlantic. Was this written by one of the Hillary campaigners that also ran Harris’s campaign? This whole “democrats should simply become republicans” angle seems awfully familiar. The problem with the democrats isn’t DEI, it’s paying lip service to DEI in lieu of having any actual substance or spine as a party.

Uncritical support for Trump continuing to sabotage himself.

Devastating: the worst person you know made a great point

Yeah, the ISS is in a state of disrepair, and there’s not much appetite for adding to it or continuing it in other space agency budgets. It seems like the time has come to look more at building out Lagrange point stations and/or lunar bases, and that feels right. The ISS has given us useful information about space habitation that we can use to launch the next generation of off world habitations instead of eternally mucking about in LEO.

I get that she was probably protecting her retirement by resigning, but I wish she stuck around to keep telling them “no, make me”.

Fuuuuuuck. I haven’t wanted any of these cuts at all, they’re all awful. There’s also some stuff that NASA is doing that I’m SUPER jazzed about, and I was really hoping that maybe they’d be spared because tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb seem to like space well enough.

FTA: Posting on the platform Musk owns, the California Democrat said yesterday that Musk should be hauled before Congress to explain himself. “Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional,” Khanna wrote.

Couldn’t read the whole article d/t paywall, but it seems like the snippet that OP posted doesn’t quite do Khanna justice here.

Changing zoning is absolutely nuts in terms of how easily and affordably cities can address the cost of living crisis. Just allow more density (or even set minimum density) instead of forcing only low density development, allow small neighborhood commercial (like < 500 sqft grocers and cafes, and no booze) allow more mixed use, drop parking minimum requirements, and establish transit-oriented zoning.

Could also be a politically smart strategy. Basically, with no public court record or court reporters to share the prosecution’s case or present the evidence, you can always come back later and say “the crooked deep state made me plead guilty because they knew they didn’t have a case and they needed me out of their way!”
