What is going on?

Can't even static fire this junk safely, meanwhile various companies are now chasing after the functionality of the smaller, functional rocket. He's gonna be still blowing up the stainless Estes kits while Honda & Blue Origin catch up to Reusable Low Earth Orbit. The Hare Brained will be Tortoise'd.

I know I sound like a broken record at times, but Paramount has SO MUCH music history in its archives from Soul Train and Solid Gold to Video Soul and 120 Minutes to Headbangers Ball and Rap City to TRL and 106 & Park, and it's maddening they're doing absolutely nothing with 95% of it.

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

Yoshitoshi ABe exhibition in Tokyo to open in July celebrating his 30 year long career with original art and sketches from Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei, and more on display.

Big Tech: we invented the torment nexus Glasses brands: for $54.95, you can slightly reduce the torment

I also wonder about this. Bluesky really could be doing more user education about these futures, imo

Love to see the old friends doing amazing things, like building a whole arcade: youtu.be/11amXS4fc8Q

Your branded merch collection is solid but do you have socks to match the airport carpet?

Uhhh why was I just charged $65 by Vimeo I haven’t used the site in like a decade

RIP to the USCSB, one of the greatest to do it, and by it, I mean safety videos that were both informative yet weirdly intriguing. Was a can't miss uploader: www.youtube.com/user/USCSB

Another reminder of how one guy, Fred Seibert, had an incredibly outsized reach via youth pop culture from the 1980s through to the late 2010s, and a part of that was celebrating the wins of his peers/coworkers in the places he worked like this:
