So Starship Ship 36 just detonated before the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

My girlfriend has been on the phone with our 75yo neighbor for 3 and a half hours. They've covered topics ranging from getting the neighborhood cat medical care to who the best Beatle is to Israel's attacks on Iran

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Just finished Lies of P: Overture and I have nothing but praise for this game and the developers. Really fun, inventive and impressive game throughout. Very strong expansion to an already strong game. Them adding an FFXIV gun blade pushed it even higher for me

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

"Neutrality" in journalism is a fetishistic commitment to never admitting or allowing your journalists to admit what's happening right in front of them.

I have played like 8 hours of the Nioh 3 Alpha Demo and let me tell you - Team Ninja has done it again. I fully expect to sink 100+ hours into this game when it comes out next year

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

A reminder that "George Floyd died from an overdose instead of a prolonged assault" was a thing cops made up and spread online despite the existence of a conclusive M.E. report stating otherwise, basically to cover the ass of a violent murderer with a badge, believed by bootlicker chumps everywhere

Verizon agreed to be more racist, and sat on its hands while Elon Musk stole their $2 billion FAA contract. Their reward is approval for yet another big, shitty, telecom merger, which never serves the public interest. feckless authoritarian earlobe nibblers

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

When I wrote that these folks were segregationists, the response from some quarters was that I was exaggerating or missing the bigger picture. But they are literally segregationists and increasingly open about that fact.

ESPN doesn't mention this because they are a huge part of the problem here, but this is 100% downstream of MLB's (and all the other major sports') full-throated embrace of gambling. It's a cancer that's already ruining lives and it's only going to get worse.

A very commonly held reactionary populist belief is "we should let addicts kill themselves by letting them overdose and denying them treatment when they do". Like many monstrous conservative beliefs Trump 2.0 is putting it into practice.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.
