Just a random thought about the current Musk/Trump fight. The only good thing that might come out of it would be a nationalization of SpaceX. The erosion of NASA is a US national disgrace. Folding that company back in and redirecting the funding would be a tremendous boost.

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”
