If NASA failed at this rate there would be protests to cut the budget..... Failure in science and engineering is inevitable, but the private tech approach of "move fast and break things" (not to quote the berg) has very questionable ethics given the resources required for space faring. 🔭🧪🚀

Why is the media like this?

Just because it was too late for them does NOT mean it’s too late for you

The major networks should have a streaming service where they just rebroadcast their real-time programming from Saturday mornings (or Thursday nights or whatever) in random years from the 1980s and 1990s.

James Bond movies never show the part where the supervillain collects government subsidies to build his death tech.

Hey #BlackSky. I have DEADASS been asked to speak at the United Nations Forum on racism & discrimination next month in Spain. Any message y’all want me to depart to our allies? Lol

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Please be nice to each other. We’re all doing our best.

This is my interpretation of the political lean of popular social media platforms as represented by app placement

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

You guys overcomplicate this soulmate thing. -do they like garlic -do they like cilantro

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

I feel seen

if i made an alien movie, at least 15 minutes would be people barfing coming out of cryosleep, it's the heart and soul of the franchise

i still can’t believe they used asbestos for the fake snow in wizard of oz.

Are there any sociologists or psychologists on here who study relationships? Especially platonic relationships and how they interact with beliefs, interest, values, etc. Also interested in people who study how online relationships work. I’m doing some research right now. Let me know if you can help

not into these “it’s going to be okay” billboards popping up all around the bay area rn

had a class today that's 100% Latino kids, all of whom speak some level of Spanish which is great- I totally love such kids & their families I had to teach them about the Pilgrims, and the kids asked what "pilgrim" means, and I realized: Latino immigrants are pilgrims. and the US is attacking them

I discovered recently that I enjoy listening to an audiobook while reading the physical or ebook at the same time. I have a hard time focusing sometimes, so this and/or listening to audiobooks at 1.5x seems to really help. Not sure why, but whatever helps! #BookSky

5 things I believe as a director: 1. Films are rarely better that their scripts. 2. Films are rarely better than their lead performances. 3. Films are as much sound as picture. 4. Films combine primary art forms: painting/photography, theater, literature, music. 5. Films are emotional experiences.

If you’re ever surprised by how clueless we, as a people, appear to be sometimes, just remember that a scant 25 years ago The Blair Witch project came out and 90% of the population was like “holy shit is this REAL?!”

If the Monster Mash is a graveyard smash, that would mean there is an entire Graveyard Chart full of songs almost as good as the Monster Mash
